Let the Butt-Kicking Continue....Kyle Busch Dominates Darlington Despite a Pit Penalty, Traffic


Crewchief Steve Addington, Race Winner and Sprint Cup Series Point Leader Kyle Busch and J. D. Gibbs of Joe Gibbs Racing after Kyle tamed "The lady in black", a/k/a the newly repaved Darlington Raceway. When a driver leads 7 times for 169 of 367 laps (including the one where they pay the money), comes back after a penalty for a loose lug nut, and still crack a joke about the people who throw beer cans at him...then that is old style domination. This is the younger Busch's 3rd win of 2008 (Atlanta and Talledega prior).

As for Tony Stewart...he and Elliott Sadler caused the first of eight cautions when they got together on the second lap. Sadler was well off the pace; Stewart finished 21st, only one lap down.

The Top 10 in Points:

Kyle Busch

Jeff Burton (-71)

Dale Earnhardt, Jr

Denny Hamlin

Clint Bowyer

Jimmie Johnson

Carl Edwards

Tony Stewart

Kevin Harvick

Jeff Gordon

Them that has, gots. Childress, Hendrick and Gibbs.

We take a break, and rejoin you from the corner of 16th St. and Georgetown Road in a couple of weeks...to see if Scott Dixon can win the Indianapolis 500 from the pole.
