(UPDATE) -- As Kurt Busch picks up his first win in 51 Cup Series races and cracks the top-12 in points, brother Kyle lands a deal to drive for Joe Gibbs Racing next season. Kyle Busch will leave Hendrick Motorsports at the end of this season to make room for Dale Earnhardt Junior.

Meanwhile, Kurt Busch and Earnhardt are battling for the twelfth and final spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship. "Competition is tough, it's fierce and you slip up just a little bit in the top-10 and you find yourself on the outside looking in," said Kurt Busch.

Dale Junior is now on the outside looking in at 13th in the point standings. "I don't really think about it too much," said Earnhardt. "I've got a whole lot of other crap to worry about, so I just run as good as I can every week and wherever I finish is where I finish. We're way better than this and I think that the cream is going to rise to the top, so I ain't too worries about it." Earnhardt is only seven points behind Kurt Busch.
