Busch Young Guns had their chance to shine

In a stand alone event at Gateway, the Busch Series Young Guns had their chance to shine without a ton of Buschwhackers in the field.  This was their chance to show everyone that they had what it takes and that they will eventually be good enough for the next level, once they learn a little patience.

The first 100 laps only saw two cautions and one of them was for debris, but after that there were seven more cautions, most, not all, being caused by impatient drivers.  A lot of them found themselves out of the race or down quite a few laps, only two Busch Series youngsters actually finished on the lead lap, Tim McCreadie and Chase Miller.

The youngest soon to be star made himself an enemy in veteran Mike Bliss.  Asked about the incident he said he was hit by someone who looked "about 10".  Landon Cassill is young, but not that young, he turned 18 a few weeks ago and this was his first Busch Series race for Hendrick Motorsports.  He's young, so he still has time to learn some patience on the track, heck there are non-Rookies that have a hard time with patience too.  He'll either learn or make a lot of enemies along his way up, the choice will be his to make, hopefully he makes the right one.

Reed Sorenson won the race over Scott Wimmer, ending his drought in the Busch Series, now all he needs is a win in the Cup series.  Edwards, although having a bit of trouble, battled back to finish 6th.

We need to see more of these races with mostly just the young guns of the Busch Series in them.  I know NASCAR won't stop the Cup regulars from racing in the series, so it's a nice change when we don't see a lot of them in the race.
