Why is it that Kyle Busch can’t seem to finish a race without hitting someone? Tonight it was Greg Biffle, who should have spun out, but managed to straighten up and overtake Busch. The whole day Busch berated his crew for his “sucky” car. I can’t imagine why they’d work with such a jerk. He’s obviously a danger to himself and to his team.
Despite a penalty and multiple other issues, Busch managed to win the Dodge Challenger 500 at Darlington, but not even this victory seems clean. He cruised past others, in a dangerous, weaving way. It’s pretty clear he’s not good at controlling his car. He only managed to win by luck and reckless driving. He bumped into the wall more than once and luck was on his side, allowing the careless driver, who refused to listen to his crew chief, and slow down, to keep the lead.
I’m waiting for karma to come kick Kyle in the keister, but as of yet that has yet to happen. I fear for the other racers. I know they call him rowdy because he drives “wild”, but I really fear that one of these days his terribly wild driving is going to cause a death…and it might just be Kyle’s. Every week, I hold my breath, just waiting for him to flip himself or someone else over, to spin out of control or to ram himself into the wall hard enough to set his car on fire. He can only be described as lucky because that’s the only thing, and not the driving of a winner (despite his win I don’t see him as one) that got him the win today.
In NASCAR, you have to be a team player. I’m beginning to see just how similar the Joe Gibbs team is to the cars racing in the Pixar movie, Cars. As we established last week, Denny Hamlin was acting like Chick Hicks. Well, Kyle Busch is setting himself up like Lightening McQueen pre-transformation. No friends. No crew to back him up. If I was on his crew and he’d spoken to me the way he did them, I’d have quit. No ifs, ands or buts. There is such a thing as being a team player and Kyle isn’t it. I think Kyle has some Chick in him too though since he likes to hit people so much. As for Tony, well I guess that makes him the old reliable car that people like to beat up on, despite his ability to win.
Either way, the new Chick McQueen aka Kyle Busch has only himself and maybe his mommy to be proud of his latest, undeserved victory.

Can’t hate a winner forever.
Yeah…I wouldn’t call him a winner. A wiener maybe, but definitely not a winner.
