What ‘Wild Thing’, Kyle Busch, has done thus far during this weekend’s events at Auto Club Speedway is very impressive. Busch not only won both the San Bernardino County 200 in the Camping World Truck Series, and the Stater Bros. 300 in the Nationwide Series, he dominated those races.
Kyle Busch led a combined 238 laps out of a possible 250 laps. Now, I don’t know about you, but that is pure domination. He also made NASCAR history by winning two events in one day.
I know Busch is not a very popular driver with most fans. I have heard Busch referred to as a “young punk” among other superlatives that I won’t disclose here. Whatever you call Kyle Busch, a true race fan has to admit one thing – the man can drive a race car.
What Busch has been able to accomplish in his young career would not be possible without the teams he drives for. The Billy Ballew Motorsports truck team is one of the best teams in the truck series. Of course, the Joe Gibbs Racing Nationwide team is one of the best in that series, winning the owner points championship in 2008.
So after Kyle Busch’s phenomenal Saturday at Auto Club Speedway one question remains – Will he match that performance on Sunday?
California natives Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are favorites to win the Auto Club 500, but I don’t know if anyone should count out Kyle Busch after Saturday’s events.
If Kyle Busch does win Sunday’s race in Fontana, California, it will mark the first time in NASCAR history that a driver has won all three events in one weekend.
