Another Win For Kyle Busch

“By the way, slow it down Kyle Busch!” he wrote. As Busch drove down the backstretch on the final lap, the win was sealed as Alex Bowman blew a tire and crashed the Tommy Baldwin Racing Chevrolet in turn two. It’s an outlook the likes of Yogi Berra or the Philadelphia Flyers can understand.

And it seems the Joe Gibbs Racing Sprint Cup Series driver is on a mission to prove once again that big challenges only prove to stoke his competitive fires.

As implausible as it sounds considering how his season started, it appears more possible as each race weekend goes by.

Second, Busch got back on the lead lap with a gutsy pass of race leader Kevin Harvick and second-place Brad Keselowski, weaving through traffic on the frontstretch seconds before NASCAR called a caution for fluid on the track on Lap 251 of 301.

And in that sense, Busch has had his share of at least racing luck in the past four weeks.

“I don’t know if it’s a horsepower thing, or whatever”, Larson said.

“That was a calculated risk that I felt like I needed to take at that particular moment”. “This is something that I’m not sure we ever would have expected”.

“Everything is working in our favor right now”, he said after winning Sunday.

This season has been one long comeback. Afterward, the smoldering, pouting Busch reappeared – his version of older brother Kurt Busch’s rants – and he refused to speak to the media.

Larson had eight top-five and 17 top-10 finishes last season, and his blistering results in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship had him hopeful he would emerge as a championship contender in 2015. Busch, though, short-pitted with about 55 laps remaining, un-lapped himself just before a caution came out, then stayed out to inherit the lead when the other front-runners headed for pit road under yellow. It was the second time Busch won a Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire. “I think this only adds to it”. “The way he’s handled everything, disappointments, handled that really well, too”. The rules for qualifying for the Chase field say a driver must start all of the series races to be eligible. Hamlin picked up the win over Austin Dillon, followed by Keselowski.

It was also the first time in nine years that the top four finishers were American.

“That’s the backbone of performance in this sport, having really fast cars”, Keselowski said. “I could tell you what the track looked like with the fog”, said the Poison frontman and reality star. The irony of this scenario is that Busch is extraordinary at adapting physically, particularly to different cars and changing circumstances.

Kyle Busch earned every penny of his pay in winning the 5-Hour Energy 301 at Louodn. He got a carbon seat this year to meet the rules. “That was in the injury and now, getting back in the race auto, getting back in the Chase”. Edwards has just three top 10s, an average finish of 19.8 and is just 17th in the points standings. He has seven more races to accumulate enough points to be in the top thirty in the points standings, one of the qualifications for making the Chase. Can he win it all – and add a Sprint Cup title to all those victories? “It’s not the starting spot we wanted, but I think our race auto will be pretty good”. “But when we were rolling down pit road, I missed that he was still going to be out there and be the leader”, he said. Even while Kyle was gone, I feel like we’ve shown that we have speed and we have solid cars. David Gilliland got the free pass for that caution, putting him back on the lead lap.
