Kurt and Kyle are just blowing away the field this NASCAR season! This week, Kurt Busch took the race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway yesterday and it was a great race for him. He led more laps yesterday than he had through all of last season. Is he going to keep winning? His younger brother Kyle is also a great driver and he’s a bigger star as well. But Kurt has really come to his own in the last month or so as well, winning a couple of races. This season is a really exciting one, not only for Busch and his Penske team, but for the whole sport. You never know who’s going to win each time!

The main story on NASCAR.com today draws attention to Greg Biffle in this year’s Sprint Cup Series.  Yes, Jimmie Johnson is ahead; yes, he’s ahead by 149 points.  This means, that in order to win, Greg Biffle may need to beat Johnson by as many as 39 positions this Sunday in Atlanta.  This doesn’t sound so bad.  NASCAR races have many drivers, so 39 positions isn’t all that bad.  However, keep in mind that the last time Johnson was defeated by 39 slots was in Charlotte earlier this year, when his motor went kaputt.  These are the chances for Greg Biffle.  Perhaps they aren’t that great, but it’s still a possibility; with NASCAR races, you never quite know what’s going to happen, and it’s certainly fun to find out.  Tune in for the Pep Boys Auto 500 on Sunday afternoon to see the action!
