Busch wins! no not Kyle..

    For the 6th time this year a Busch was found in victory lane, and no this time it was not 1st quarter DOTY award recipient Kyle Busch. The older um (perhaps wiser?) Busch brother ended up with the win. Kurt Busch won the rain shortened cup race in New Hampshire. The 2 was not the car to beat by any means on Sunday, but that is not what the box score will read for years to come. The car to beat was indeed the 20 driven by 2005 DOTY winner Tony Stewart. Dominating most of the race Tony was heard saying after the race that the #20 Camery was the best 13th place car you will ever see! Stewart led a race high 132 laps. The story of the afternoon besides the rain delay was the gambling that took place in the waning moments of the race, leading to a rather indeterminate cast of characters to round out the top three. Michael Waltrip took second and JJ Yeley took home 3rd. Kurt Busch will try to build on this impetus and hopefully improve his chances to make the chase, he currently sits in 18th place on the leader board. In my opinion Kurt need allot more then momentum if he hopes to make the chase, or even steal some headlines from younger brother. Maybe a good old fashioned noogie is in order here to re-establish his dominating role as older brother! Five years ago I remember thinking that Kyle would never get out of the shadow cast by Kurt and his cup championship, but my have the tables turned, it takes a storm cloud overhead and a roll of the die to even get a mention in the press for Kurt. And even when he wins, bloggers like me are still taking every opportunity to Mention the golden boy from the desert!
