“I want to race every day, all day, every minute,” Busch said. “I want to be in a car, by myself, because that’s where I am happiest. It’s fun for the fans to see me as crazy or as stupid as I might be, trying to run all these. They get the excitement of seeing whether or not I’ll succeed or fail.”
When Kyle Busch set out to execute his history-making feat by racing in three NASCAR series events in three different states in three consecutive days, crashing both his Sprint Cup cars and losing 121 points of his lead in the top series was not on the travel itinerary.
On the last leg of his racing trifecta at Pocono Raceway, Busch made a costly mistake early in the Pocono 500 and made contact with the No. 26 of Jamie McMurray. On Lap 46, Busch came off Turn 3 and squeezed McMurray as they crossed the start-finish line; he lost control and hit the wall.
Busch did not speak after the race. Crew chief Steve Addington said: “We just had a bad weekend in Pocono. … We were just trying to get back to the top 10 and had it going there. … It just didn’t end that way.”
1. Kyle Busch (1): The only triples he should attempt are ice cream scoops.
2. Jeff Burton (2): Getting points lead will be worthless if he doesn’t win some.
3. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (3): AMP must love Junior huffing and puffing after race.
4. Carl Edwards (4): Ford cheers when he wins at Michigan.
5. Denny Hamlin (5): Nationwide series manners rubbing off on Logano?
6. Jeff Gordon (6): Maybe he should consider a hybrid.
7. Kasey Kahne (11): Has quite the “buzz” around him these days.
8. Jimmie Johnson (10): Seemed way too happy using pit scheme to finish sixth.
9. Greg Biffle (8): You know Silly Season’s gone mad when someone actually STAYS!
10. Clint Bowyer (7): When crew chief say, “Take a shot!” he talking about passing someone.
