Shrub wins again! are you kidding me?

by a nose.jpg Another race has been completed and another notch has been scuffed into the belt of Kyle Busch. Pretty soon that belt will be one big notched up mess. Six wins in eighteen races is quite remarkable I must say. For those of you that did not watch the race you may assume that the 18 dominated on route to the checkered flag, and he did, but what is most impressive about Busch's sixth win was the way he darted through the field late in the race capping a remarkable comeback. With about 80 laps to go Kyle almost lost it entering turn 2, he then calmly brought his car to the apron (at 180 mph mind you). Radio transmissions revealed that the power steering was down on the 18, a common theme this year for Busch. It seams that these situations would ruin a drivers day especially at Daytona, but not Kyle. Who need power steering anyway? After regrouping and dropping back to 37th The 18 started his charge through the field. Passing low, passing high, passing with no drafting help, basically just passing everyone between him and the lead. Even the boo birds at the Earnhardt friendly venue were beginning to realize that this kid is the goods, showering him with a mixed medley of boos and cheers alike as he took his customary victory bow. Is NASCAR nation starting to warm up to the villain? Are we being swayed away from the golden boy, Dale Jr? One thing is for sure, race fan love a dominating driver who will relentlessly go for the gold no holds barred. Just take a look at the ambivalence that existed between the fans ant the last anti-hero that rose to the top of the mountain, of course I am speaking of the great Dale senior. Fans could only hold out so long before his dominating racing instincts won them over as well as won him many a checkered flag. So let the Earnhardt Sr. comparisons run amok. Unless this season is a flash in the pan for Kyle Busch he may just be the future of our sport. And how fitting it is that the 88 is now in 2nd in the points, setting the stage for a Shakespearian epic of good vs evil.  How it plays out, only time will tell. How you want it to play out will tell allot about the type of person you are. Do you listen to the angel on your right shoulder or the devil on your left? Right now i am leaning towards the devil!good vs evil.jpg
