A few quick things..

Second quarter DOTY is, you guessed it  KYLE BUSCH. Congratulations to him for another trophy for the mantle. This guy is going to need a bigger mantle for all these trophies he is accumulating. Also I would love to get a key installed on by computer that will write KYLE BUSCH when I press it. That would save me a bunch of time. With 7 wins in the cup series KB is poised for a title run, but don't count out veterans like Dale Jr, Jimmy Johnson, and Jeff Gordon. If we learned anything last year it is that the chase format is not always the fairest way to decide on a champion. Gordon and the 24 dominated the regular season only to come up short in the 10 race chase. His huge lead going into the chase was all but erased when the points reset going in to the post season. In the old format Gordon would have a fifth cup on his resume.

Rumor has it that Tony Stewart, a former DOTY recipient, is going to drive the No. 14 Chevrolet in his debut next season with his own Sprint Cup Series team, Stewart-Haas Racing. His sponsor will be the depot but this time around it will be Office Depot, not Home Depot like we are all used to seeing him in. Sponsorship will be shared with Stewarts long time nationwide booster Old Spice.

Good luck Tony, I hope all your ownership dreams are realized.
