Kyle Busch Makes History w/ Dominant Win at Watkins Glen International
If Kyle Busch appeared “vulnerable” in recent weeks to some of his fellow NASCAR Sprint Cup competitors, the aura of invincibility returned to the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota on Sunday at Watkins Glen International. Read the full story at NASCAR.com
The younger of the Busch brothers, Kyle has easily shown that he not only belongs among the top names in NASCAR, but that he’s a driver to be reckoned with. Doubters have tried to point out Kyle’s weaknesses, including that he hadn’t won any road courses before. That argument was officially put to rest Sunday, as Busch won his 3rd road coarse this season - 2 in the Sprint Series and 1 in the Nationwide Series.
Joe Gibbs Racing has a great driver to continue winning races and building fan base; JGR’s (former) top driver Tony Stewart is leaving to start his own team after the year. Busch left Hendrick Motorsports to make way for Dale Earnhardt Jr., but it appears JGR got the better of the two drivers. Kyle now has 8 wins on the season in the Sprint Series and is challenging the record for most wins in a single season - and that’s w/ the Chase still on tap.
Kyle is still a semi-hated NASCAR driver, but winning so consistently has helped sway a great number of fans onto his side. It will surely be a pleasure to watch the remainder of the season and see if Busch can maintain his torrid pace & win his 1st championship.
