Busch will pilot No. 18 in 2009

Kyle Busch apparently wasn't satisfied with his record-tying 10 victories last year in the Nationwide Series.

Joe Gibbs Racing President J.D. Gibbs said Tuesday during the NASCAR media tour that Busch will drive a full Nationwide schedule in the No. 18 in addition to his Sprint Cup duties.

Busch won 10 Nationwide races last year, nine of them coming in 19 starts with JGR. Eight of his victories came in the No. 18 he'll pilot in 2009.

He also entered 10 races, winning one, for Braun Racing, and finished second in his lone start for Eddie D'Hondt.
