NASCAR:: The Busch brothers claimed the front row at their hometown Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but an engine change will prevent Kyle and Kurt Busch from starting next to each other for tomorrow's Sprint Cup Shelby 427. Kyle Busch blew his motor during yesterday's practice session, forcing him to change it before qualifying. The new engine helped him post a pole-winning lap of 185.995 mph. That was better than older brother Kurt's lap of 185.707. But Kyle Busch will have to drop to the back of the field at the start of the race, and third-place qualifier Jimmie Johnson will slide into the front row.
