It's been called the "World's Fastest Half-Mile" And this weekend, Kyle Busch drove it faster than anyone in history as he (for the first time in NASCAR history) won all three series in the same weekend. After rallying to win a caution married Camping World Truck Series on the 18th in his No. 18 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota. He went on to take the flag in the Nationwide series on the 20th. (After spinning his strongest challenger 22 Brad Keselowski in Lap 219) Then, He won the Sprint Cup series the next day. After 3 of his strongest competitors (Jimmie Johnson (who had the pole position and lead for 175 laps) Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards) had issues at the extremely fickle Bristol track. But the track worked with Kyle (has it has in the past) as he worked his way up from starting in the 19th position.
Klye has been burning up the tracks this year. So far he has won 9 of the 22 races in the Nationwide series. 5 of the Sprint Cup series. And 2 of the 15 Camping World series. That’s an impressive record that even Jimmie Johnson has to respect. And this weekend’s sweep places him third in points for the Chase.
If he doesn’t win the chase this year, even take my word for it. Watch this young driver next year. He’s going to break even more records

My bro-in-law has probably heard this news. (probably saw the races himself)
He's very into watching NASCAR, now that he's retired from dirt-track racing.

I only have a passing interest (pun intended) in NASCAR, so tell me why we should hate the Busch brothers. (other than their gardens)

Kurt Busch is a douche though hes gotten better the last couple years. Kyle is an obnoxious ass thats young and talented but thinks things are owed to him.

Went to the Bristol race. If boos had wind, that dweeb would have been blown right out to the highway.
Driver intros were classic comedy. When Dweeb came out and the boos went crazy, he said "I can feel the love, Bristol. I came to win." Then Brad Kesolowski came out and said "Kyle Busch is an ass!" Crowd went bonkers.
AJ Almendinger then said, to great cheers, "If the #12 and #18 get together, I want to be out front so I don't get involved." Tony Stewart then said during his intro, "Unlike AJ, if the #12 and #18 get together, I want to be behind them to see the wreck." Finally, Carl Edwards came out to his chosen theme song, "Why Can't We Be Friends". Other than the #42 taking out the #48,(and Jamie Mac passing Busch for the lead) those were the best moments of the night.

There are signs all along the catch fence warning fans about tossing cans and bottles (glass is prohibited) but that didn't stop anyone at the conclusion.
Many started leaving around lap 400 or so and it would be a safe bet to say the stands were only half full by the time Busch took the checkered.

I think he fancies himself the heir to Dale Sr's crown and he ain't no Dale Sr.
Egos are a major part of NASCAR but he goes above and beyond mere ego. His brother seems to have found out that being a pompous ass doesn't help you and eventually you will be just another racecar driver.
