The 2008 O'Reilly 300 was a Nationwide Series event held at Texas Motor Speedway on April 5, 2008. Kyle Busch finally picked up his first victory of the year, not falling victim to pitfalls that had kept the dominant driver out of Victory Lane thus far during the season. He led 126 of the 200 laps and held off Jeff Burton by 1.041 seconds. Points leader Clint Bowyer was 3rd to take a 57-point championship lead on Carl Edwards (13th). Stats
