Busch wins, some drivers take a hit in points
Kyle Busch won again, not really surprising, as if people didn't think he'd be able to move up through the field.
Some drivers took a hit in points, like Hamlin, Kahne and Harvick, all of which were in the top twelve in points. Harvick took the biggest hit, dropping from tenth to thirteenth, out of The Chase after this race. If he plans on making the Chase, they've got some ground to make up, hopefully he'll be able to do it. Harvick took the blame for his incident, that took him, Stewart and McMurray out of the top, he said he wheel-hopped which caused him to spin and slid into the others.
The driver I was surprised about the most, who had a good run going until he was taken out of the race was Ambrose. He had a real good run going and according to him, a gear broke when he got hit, so he really isn't blaming the driver who hit him. He took the high road and wasn't mad, at least not outwardly mad, but the driver who hit him was Sadler. I'm not sure if the gear broke because he got hit or if it would have broken anyways, but I still see it as Sadler taking him out of contention.
Your thoughts?

I wasn't surprised with Ambrose. Remember he ran well at Mexico City last year in the Nationwide series until Robby Gordon took him out of contention.
The guy that surprised me was Gilliland. I had no idea he was a good road racer. 2nd place with Jeff Gordon breathing down his neck is impressive.
Shrub continues to impress. He can win anywhere. Restrictor plate track, short track, mile and a half, and now a road course. And he's only 23.

Congrats to KYLE BUSCH {the punk}
HARVICK doesn't seem to have the 'drive' in him this year...I guess after driving for so long maybe its hard to have the same ambition to win as you did when you were 20 years old...WALTRIP came up the field a bunch of spots to finish 25th...JUNIOR did well in 12th place considering road courses are not his favorite to race at...MARK MARTIN to drive for HENDRICKS next year,I didn't see that coming...wow....nice to know that JUNIOR will have a teammate at FANTASY ISLAND who Isn't a pompous ass.
