"The Show"
Kyle Busch won the Shelby 427 in grand fashion before a nearly sold out Las Vegas Motor Speedway (they would have sold you a ticket--but it sure looked like a pre-contraction crowd here at Glitter Gulch). As we recounted, Busch had to fall back to the last starting spot. During the driver introductions he said to the fans "Know what? We're going to the back , get ready for a show, here it comes." Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton sniffed the lead...but in the end the victory was Kyle's.
Matt Kenseth suffered engine problems to drop him out of the point lead. Kenseth finished 43rd on the day.
Here's the top 12 going into Atlanta:
Jeff Gordon--snatched a 6th place finish from what could have been a disaster, and took over the point lead with 459
Clint Bowyer/441
Matt Kenseth/419
Greg Biffle/419
David Reutimann--comes off a 4th place finish, his best/408
Kyle Busch/405
Kurt Busch/393
Tony Stewart/379
Carl Edwards/377
Bobby Labonte--finished 5th/360
Kevin Harvick/351
Michael Waltrip/346
It is always great to see a dream come true.
We'll take a week back at the office and get ready for straight line action next time we are on the road. You can always find out what we are doing by going on Twitter (twitter.com/MSRnet), and talk about it there.
