Kyle Busch looks to make NASCAR history this weekend.

Busch, the points leader in the Sprint Cup Series, will attempt a NASCAR first -- racing in three national series, at three different tracks, in the same weekend.

His busy itinerary will take him to Texas Motor Speedway for the Craftsman Truck Series race, Nashville Superspeedway for the Nationwide Series race and Pocono Raceway for the Cup event.

The next question -- can he be the first to sweep all three races in the same weekend? If Busch did win all three, he'd be the first to do so -- period. It's never been done at the same track on a companion weekend, let alone three different tracks.

The driver to come the closest -- Kyle Busch, himself. Last season, during the Phoenix weekend in November, Busch won both the Truck and Nationwide races, and finished eighth in the Cup race.

There's certainly a chance. Across the three series, Busch has run 33 races. He has been in first place at some point in the race during 28 of them (though he's led a lap in 26 of them).

Busch ranks in the top 10 in all key statistical categories in each series:

Across the three series, Busch has a Driver Rating of 117.0. Combining the second-place ratings for each series -- which belong to Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Cup), Clint Bowyer (Nationwide) and Ron Hornaday (Truck) -- the Driver Rating would be 107.2, almost 10 points lower than Busch alone.

One problem, however, is Busch has not enjoyed the best of success at the tracks he'll race this weekend -- he does not have a series win at any of them. Below are his race logs at each track since 2005:
