Kyle Busch’s post-race expletive-ridden comments about team mate Denny Hamlin this past weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway was just another example of how NASCAR teams aren’t always the best of friends. Denny Hamlin refused to allow Busch (his brother Kurt eventually won the race) to pass him during the All Star Race on Saturday, which caused Busch to slam his Toyota M&M Pretzel car into the wall. Busch apparently went looking for Hamlin at his trailer after the race. Giants of the sport, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, have also been after each other recently. NASCAR.com did an excellent piece, featuring writers Bill Kimm and Mark Spoor, asking the question if teammates should race differently against one another. I see the point that the drivers are paid by team owners and therefore are expected to do what is best for the team, but no one can deny that people love NASCAR for the drivers. NASCAR drivers got to where they are, because of their inane desire to finish in first. If there’s too much of team mentality on the racetrack it’ll take away from the sure competitiveness of the sport. Besides, all this team-on-team controversy is endlessly entertaining. I hope there’s more to come.

Jeff Gordon leads the official Sprint Cup lineup right now, having garnered 634 points over the first few races of the season. Clint Bowyer, a little-known name, is presently in second, and then comes Kurt Busch with 588 points. His brother Kyle is down at #7 right now. However, keep in mind, this is still very early in the season. It’s doubtful that Jimmie Johnson was going to win the cup ultimately last year. But we will have to watch the Busch Bros. Kenseth, Gordon and a couple of other racers over the course of this year. It’s also possible that this works more like a long horse race where there are some horses that automatically start off well and then fall off towards the end and others that hit their stride on the back stretch. The season is only just beginning, but it looks like a good one!

The Daytona Lineup has been finalized. It is full of many of the typical names at this point. There don’t seem to be many surprises for this race. But still, the typical names are also the great racers. Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, and Jeff Burton are all in the lineup and it’s going to be an exciting race this time. The race is coming up very soon and we’re going to see a great time. We wish them all the best and hope that they are all safe in the race. Good luck!

Kyle Busch is the proudest man in the NASCAR circuit at the moment as he became the first man in the history of NASCAR to claim three road course victories in a single season. This rare feat was achieved by Kyle Busch when he won the Centurion Boats 52 lap race at the Watkins Glen International last Sunday after starting the race from the pole position. This is the eighth win for Busch and he is sure to win many more races in the following years to come. The Busch fans are expecting many more records to be broken by their idol and are booking their tickets well in advance for the races that Busch is taking part. 

NASCAR drivers are having a hard time this season with Kyle Busch around; since he is currently in the mood to win every other race, with the latest one being the 400 mile race that he won on Sunday, June 1^st. With this win, he has ten victories to his credit this season, which drew a lot of praise from Joe Gibbs the team owner.

This summer NASCAR fans have one way by which they can watch the fun on the track. RaceBuddy will be making his appearance on TNT reminding fans about the live coverage on their official website nascar.com.
