Kyle Busch’s Championship Chances Slim
Posted by admin
Graham Novak asked:
Kyle Busch has dominated the regular season with only a couple others showing strength at the end of the regular season. He came into the chase with a 70 point lead only 2 weeks ago and now sits 210 points out of the championship race. Today at the Monster Mile in Dover, Busch had a usually bullet proof TRD engine expire and last week his Toyota Camry had a front sway bar mount come loose or break resulting in a 43rd place finish. The hot headed JGR driver is not taking it well, he was very short with the ESPN interview crew about 30 minutes after he got out of the car. He seemed frustrated and upset. We now wonder if the 23 year old sensation can pull it together and make a comeback. Many are saying that this isnt possible. But, this is the chase, and we have already witnessed some unusual events in the first two races. Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards from the Roush camp will undoubtedly have to experience misfortune, but theres 8 races left and anything can happen at Talladega and Martinsville. Other drivers who had a long day at Dover included Kurt Busch, Dale Earnhardt jr and Denny Hamlin. Kurt Busch was taken out by the #10 car of Patrick Carpentier who got lose and pushed up the race track into Busch, sending him into the outside safer barrier. Denny Hamlin retired early as well with a rear end gear problem. Dale Jr blew a right rear tire and was never able to mount a comeback as he went 1 lap down after pitting for the tire, and ended up finishing 3 laps down in 24th position.
