There is no stopping Kyle Busch this season. The only thing that can slow him down is the muddy grass in the infield as he tries to do burnouts.
Busch beat defending champion Jimmie Johnson on a two lap shootout to win his seventh race of the season. He is only six races away from beating Jeff Gordon’s record of thirteen wins in a season.
Coming in third was Kevin Harvick with a solid run that placed him back in the Top 12 for the chase. Harvick’s return to the Top 12 knocked out his teammate, Clint Bowyer, who finished in 22nd position tonight.
Greg Biffle finished fourth with Busch’s teammate, Tony Stewart, finishing in fifth.
The Sprint Cup Series will take a week off and return to Indianapolis the following weekend for the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. (more…)

Kyle Busch won his sixth race of the season tonight at Daytona International Speedway’s Coke Zero 400. It was his first career win in the premiere NASCAR series at Daytona after coming in second to Jamie McMurray in 2007 and Tony Stewart in 2006.
Busch’s teammate, Stewart, who was the favorite coming into the race, removed himself from the #20 Home Depot Toyota just after Lap 72 after being sick all weekend. Before the race started, Stewart recieved IV’s in the Infield Care Center.
Former Joe Gibbs Racing teammate J.J. Yeley was already suited up and climbed into the car.
Stewart sat behind his pitbox for a short time, drinking fluids before being taken back to the Infield Care Center and was treated for the remaineder of the race for “flu-like symptoms.”

In the closing laps of last night’s Richmond night race, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., the driver of the #88 National Guard / Amp Energy Drink Chevy was closing in on his first win in two years.
Just then, Kyle Busch, the driver of the #18 Pedigree Toyota, drove up under him and “got loose”, promting Earnhardt, Jr. to spin, hit the wall and ultimately, causing him to lose the race.

After a last lap case of pushing, bumping and shoving in Richmond during the Nationwide Race, Kyle Busch paid a visit to Steve Wallace’s car.
“I went over to tell him if you play with the bull, you get the horns,” Busch said.
Wallace then grabbed Busch’s helment while still inside the car.
When ESPN talked to Wallace after interviewing Busch, Wallace compared Busch to a little girl, which leads me to question…. who would win in a fight? Kyle or Steve? Vote now!

This is what was found on the front of Yahoo!Sports’ NASCAR section. Coincidence? I think not!

Because ESPN Classic isn’t a part of my Comcast Cable System in Podunk, Ga (that’s not my town’s name by the way), I didn’t get to watch the awards live. In fact, I didn’t watch them until this morning as I lay in bed. I fell asleep before they came on last night due to Sports Center going overtime (40 minutes overtime?), so they were recorded for me on my lovely hard drive DV thingy.
My comments? Oh you know I have comments! (more…)

According to different audio clips played on Sirius last night and today, the race in Martinsville was REALLY controversial….
- Audio Clip: Kyle Busch was again told to back off - this time by Jimmie Johnson’s crew chief and spotter. Kyle said that he thought this was a race - he said that this makes two weeks now with the “Golden Boys”. Alan, his crew chief, had to give him the news.
- Kyle was told not to dump Dale Earnhardt, Jr and to be a team player (???). They told Kyle that he knew the plan and to not spin out Dale Jr. Kyle was not happy.
- Audio Clip: Jeff Gordon says that if Ryan Newman ever races him like that again - he’s gonna dump Ryan Newman.
- Audio Clip: Denny Hamlin tells his spotter to tell Dale Jr.’s spotter - he’s gonna hold it wide open and dump Dale Jr if Dale Jr. didn’t stop driving like he was.
And apparently there was rumored to be a fight on pit road between teammates Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth. Damn…Video? Well yes! (more…)
