Kyle Busch Proves he has not Changed
To Nascar fans everywhere, Kyle Busch is known as a hot-headed, talented driver. He is a great driver with over 100 wins in the Craftsman Truck Series, Nationwide Series, and Sprint Cup Series combined. Over the past few years, he has been in consideration for the Sprint Cup Championship. Then he flashes more of his impatience and finds a way to screw it up. Coming into the season, it was the "new and improved" Kyle Busch that the announcers were raving about. He stared out hot and has since fizzled out. He made the Chase for the Sprint Cup, but was in 7th in points before he will be parked for the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races this weekend. What did he do, you ask? In the truck race on Friday, Ron Hornaday Jr. attempted to pass a slower truck to the inside. He made it three-wide with Busch on the outside. He got loose and took himself and Busch to the wall. It was a minor crash with very little damage to each of their trucks. The caution flag was waved. Busch sped up and rode the bumper of Hornaday into turn 3. Then he spun Hornaday into the wall. Hornaday's truck smushed the wall and spun back across the track, collecting Busch. They both were done for the night. Hornaday had entered the night with a chance to win the Craftsman Truck Sereis championship with one race to go next weekend. This crash effectively ended those chances. Kyle Busch later said that he was frustrated for being crashed the last four weeks and said that he was sorry that it was Ron Hornaday. He is sorry? Really? I am not quite sure how you can apologize for intentionally spinning a guy into the wall under caution, ruining his chance at a championship. If this is the "new and imrpoved Kyle Busch," I wonder what the old Kyle Busch would have done.
