Kyle Busch just keeps doing everything right it seems and Sunday his crew chief made all the right moves and Busch tamed the Monster Mile for his fourth win of the year. Dover has always been a tough race track, but today for Busch it did not seem to be much of a problem at all. One thing that really did help Busch was accidents that took out a lot of the good contenders. Guys like Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr could not avoid them and finished out of the top ten.
Carl Edwards tried as hard as he could and managed to take second while Greg Biffle took third place. Busch who drove for Hendrick Motorsports, but was let go last year has found a home with Toyota and Joe Gibbs Racing. It looks like this could be the year of the Busch and his first name is Kyle.

Greg Biffle took the pole at Dover and Kurt Busch was second while Kyle Busch was third. Biffle who has been working on a new deal to stay with Roush Racing is very close to getting it done. Biffle has not had the greatest season so far, but he is improving and that is the key if you want to get into the Championship.
Meanwhile last week after the Coca-Cola 600 Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon got into after the race with both trading barbs at each other. Everything has been patched up right now, but I would watch this as the season goes on this could be very interesting indeed. Kevin Harvick put his two cents in like he always does and of course Busch told him to butt out. Isn’t Nascar racing just great lol!

Kyle Busch just continues to make the right calls and last night he made another one as he did not pit and was able to stretch gas mileage and tires to win the Nationwide Series race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Many people know Busch can drive the hell out of a race car, but he proved last night he can also save his equipment as well. Busch has also been getting great cars from Joe Gibbs Racing which also has a lot to do with his winning this year.
Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski got into it on the track and after the race their respected pit crews also got into it. This just shows you that everybody wants to win and the tensions can run very high. I am sure some nice fines will be handed out by Nascar officials. They do not like things like this happening especially on National Television.

Kyle Busch so far this season without a doubt has been the hottest driver and yesterday he did nothing to tarnish that as he went out and took the Coca-Cola 600 pole beating out Kasey Kahne who will start second. Busch put up a lap of 185.433 in his no.18 Toyota while runner-up Kahne put up a time of 185.300. Both of these drivers right now are running well.
Brian Vickers will start third while Greg Biffle rolls off in the number four spot. David Regan grabbed fifth and Dale Earnhardt Jr will roll out of the gates in sixth spot. Right now Kyle Busch is on a role and it seems whatever he is doing is perfect as he is always near the top or grabbing poles. I do not know if he can keep it up all year long, but right now it will be very interesting to see if he can.

Darlington Raceway got the name too tough to tame and it collected many cars last night and in fact Kyle Busch seems to enjoy hitting the walls at this track. Kyle Busch hit the wall so many times he actually lost count. It did not matter to Busch as he roared back to the win even after a pit-road penatly looked like it would end his night. To Busch’s credit he fought back and won the Saturday Night Sprint Cup Series race at Darlington.
Busch who is probably the most hated driver in Nascar continues to stand on top of the points which is all that matters to him. Carl Edwards finished second while Jeff Gordon was third. Busch had the best car all night long and even hitting the wall numerous times could not keep it from victory lane. Love him or hate you have to respect him for his driving ability.

Kyle Busch fell a lap down which usually the kiss of death at Talladega, but not for Kyle Busch. He got his lap back and was able to get back in contention to win Sunday’s race in dramatic fashion. Towards the end of the race cautions were the word of the day as wrecks seem to always happen towards the end of this race.
Juan Pablo Montoya was able to finish second and Denny Hamlin finished third. Ryan Newman finished eighth and Dale Earnhardt Jr who many thought had a great chance to win ended up with a 10th place finish. Many people figured Junior had a good shot of winning here, but the switch to Hendrick Motorsports have not garnered him any wins just yet.

Maybe they should change the nationwide Series to the Kyle Busch Series as Busch won yesterday in Mexico to give him three straight wins in the Nationwide series and he may have to start thinking about the championship down in that series as he is doing really well.
Marcos Ambrose finished second in the race and Scott Pruett finished third, but the story was Kyle Busch with nine laps left pass the leader and there was no catching him as he made it three in a row. Can he make it four in a row? I guess we will find out soon enough.

Kyle Busch beat Carl Edwards out of the pits on the final pit stop and was able to hold Edwards off to take the Nationwide series race. Edwards probably had the best car, but it is hard to pass with these cars so he had to settle for second place.
Busch is starting to make a habit of this winning very close races which will just make a togher driver as he gets older. Most people thought Busch would struggle after leaving Hendrick Motorsports, but in reality the opposite has happened.

If there is a hotter driver than Kyle Busch on the Nascar Series will he please stand up. Busch took the Nationwide Series race at Texas Saturday as he pulled away from the field late to claim the victory. Jeff Burton was second, but admitted afterwards that no one had anything for Busch and he was the best car by far.
This win means a lot to Busch as he has led many laps so far in the Nationwide Series only to come up short every week, but this time he was leading the most important lap and that was the last one. Busch is going to try and make it back to back wins with a Sprint Series cup win.

If you look at the standings in the Sprint Cup you seem something very interesting. Hendrick Motorsports was predicted to be 1-2-3 and so far that has not worked out. Kyle Busch who was cast aside to bring Dale Earnhardt Jr on board is leading the points followed by Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick, and Jeff Burton. Seems so far in the early part of the season RCR is do real well while Hendrick Motorsports has struggled.
Now Junior is number five in the points while Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon is 13 and 14 in the points. I’m sure they will make that up with no problem. Jamie McMurray is 36th in the points which is kind of a shocked to me, but besides that nothing really jumps out at you. Joe Gibbs Racing switch to Toyota has benefited both parties so far this season as well.
