AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Kyle Busch didnt mind the rain that ended the race early. He would have been fine with continuing, though -- his car was that good. Busch became the first driver to win three straight NASCAR Nationwide races at Phoenix International Raceway, dominating his way through a rain-shortened race Saturday. "Weve been very dominant here in the past and led a lot of laps today," Busch said. "I felt like we could have won it if it was rain-shortened or whether we went the whole distance." Busch took an early lead and was still out front when the race was halted with 32 laps left in the 200-mile race around Phoenixs odd-shaped mile oval. After a delay of more than two hours, the race was called, giving Busch his series-record 64th Nationwide victory. Busch led 155 laps for his 10th overall victory -- seven in Nationwide -- at PIR and the fourth straight Nationwide win for Joe Gibbs Racing at the track. It also was the fourth straight win at PIR for Buschs crew chief Adam Stevens, who was at the helm when Joey Logano won for JGR in the 2012 fall race. Kevin Harvick finished second and pole sitter Brad Keselowski was third, followed by Kyle Larson and Matt Kenseth. "Kyle had the best car today; we probably finished where we should have," Harvick said. "You never know and you always want to finish it out, but all in all it was a good start." Busch swept the two Nationwide races at Phoenix in 2013, overcoming a pit-road speeding penalty to end a 24-race winless streak in the series in the spring and leading 169 laps in the fall for his 12th Nationwide victory of the season. He had the dominant car at PIR on Saturday, moving into the lead on the sixth lap after starting third. Busch led 83 laps after that, retook the top spot on a restart after a pit stop midway through and stayed there another with about 60 laps left. "Another dominant day at Phoenix," Busch said. "Those days dont come around that often, so you try to enjoy them when you can." Rain put a slight damper on Buschs run to the checkers and certainly delayed it. PIR dodged the heavy downpours that spread across the Phoenix area for most of the day, but rain sent the fans scrambling and halted the race with 32 laps left. NASCAR sent out the blowers in an effort to get the track dry, but another round of storms moved across the area, soaking the track and ending the race. "I just had my hands full, for whatever reason, and felt kind of relieved to get it over with here," said Keselowski, who will start from the pole for Sundays Sprint Cup race without crew chief Paul Wolfe, who left the team for the birth of his first child. "Third was probably the best I have done, I was holding on pretty good there." Paul Thompson Jersey . You can watch all the action on TSN2 beginning at 7pm et/4pm pt.

Offence v DefenceThe best ranked offence in the NFL travels to one of the leagues best defences when Matt Ryans Atlanta Falcons travel to Mile High stadium to take on Von Millers Denver Broncos. The Falcons attack proved it was the real deal in week four as Ryan threw for 500 yards against the usually-dominant Carolina Panthers. Atlanta Falcons lead the NFL in total offence It is not just a case of keeping Julio Jones quiet. The Falcons boast the sixth best ground game so far this season, with both Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman contributing. Dont sleep on the Broncos offence though, who are fifth in points scored, averaging 27 a game. The Falcons will need to improve their pass rush and heap pressure on whoever lines up at quarterback for Denver.2. Tom Brady returnsAfter a four-game suspension, Tom Brady returns to his 3-1 New England Patriots with a chip on his shoulder, ready to go to work. The Patriots organisation are remaining tight-lipped about Bradys preparation for week five, but facing the 0-4 Cleveland Browns, the four-time Super Bowl winner will be out to make a statement.

Protecting CamCarolina quarterback Cam Newton suffered his first official concussion in the Panthers 48-33 loss to the Falcons last week. Newton has faced a tough start to 2016, having also been roughed up by the Broncos and Minnesota Vikings, where he was sacked eight times. Quarterback Cam Newton has taken several hits in 2016 and is currently in concussion protocol The offensive line needs to do a better job of protecting the face of the franchise if they want to see him make the play-offs. If the Panthers make the play-offs, that is. Having started 1-3, Carolina will be looking to set the record straight against Tampa Bay on Monday night.4..ddddddddddddHigh scoring affair?Two of the highest scorers, and two of the most porous defences meet in week five, in an all-Californian clash. The San Diego Chargers make the 500-mile trip to play the Oakland Raiders with the two teams contrasting in their opening four games. Melvin Gordon (right) and Philip Rivers have continued to score points for the Chargers, despite losing key personnel San Diego lost Keenum Allen and Danny Woodhead early in the season and, having beaten the Jaguars in week two San Diego have lost their other three games by less than a score.The Raiders are 3-1, with all three wins coming on the road, including a one-point victory over the previously unbeaten Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Derek Carr was given the match ball after finding Michael Crabtree three times, and the third year QB will be hoping to maintain pressure on their AFC West rivals with a divisional win on Sunday. Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree scored three touchdowns against the usually miserly Baltimore Ravens defence 5. Short week pressure?The Minnesota Vikings continued their unbeaten start to the season with victory over the New York Giants on Monday night. They now prepare for the visit of the 3-1 Houston Texans, another tough test for Sam Bradfords offence. Bradfords stock continues to rise as he grows into the Vikings offence. On Monday he used all nine receivers in their 24-10 win over the New York Giants, and without JJ Watt, stand a better chance of continuing their perfect start to the season. Sam Bradford is succeeding in the Vikings offensive system Houston should not be underestimated by any means, as they concede the fewest amount of passing yards in the league and Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus deputise for Watt by maintaining an intimidating pass rush. If they pass this test, the Vikings will head into their bye week at 5-0, an incredible achievement and beyond what any Minnesota fan could have hoped for.See the Texans @ Vikings on Sunday October 9 from 5:30pm on Sky Sports 2.
