King Of The Mountain; Kyle Busch
By Mark Young
Well the younger of the Busch brothers finally got a win on Sunday after several weeks of running up front. Kyle and his #5 team can put a feather in their cap that they were the first team to win a race with the new car of tomorrow configuration and at Bristol to boot. This is the first race of the year that Kyle has won in NEXTEL Cup but he has made his presence known at one point in time at every event this year. Though he may not have had the best car of the race yesterday I still think he is very deserving of the title King Of The Mountain.
Sunday's race began with dozens of unanswered questions regarding the COT and how it would perform, I believe that it passed with flying colors. Kyle and his team get digging and working on the car to keep it up front when the checkered flags fell. At one point after a restart Kyle used up his tires very early in a run and radio traffic heard him announce that he was "An idiot". He remembered that lesson and paced himself to stay out front, holding back two cars that appeared to be better than him.
Kyle Busch is a great young talent that we should all get used to seeing on TV because this kid isn't going away anytime soon. HOWEVER, this is not the only time you will read about Kyle in this writer's blogs this week. I have a bone to pick with him regarding some things he said yesterday.
That's what I think, what say you?

Rowdy Bush, Where do I start? The kid does have talent- no doubt about it. I think if he and Jeff Burton keep running together and Kurt pays attention, he just might become a decent racer. Rick H. reeeally needs to send him to classes to learn what to say and where to say it when there are cameras around. I also feel if the roles were reversed yeasterday on the last lap, Burton's getting punted going into turn 3. I personally feel the sport seems to rush these guys to top too soon nowdays- they don't seem to have fully learned their racing "manners" before they get into cup cars

Mark,
Maybe, if you're letting points accumulate Kyle gets the title. But, the KOTM, IMO, was the Joe Gibb racing organization. They were the only group of teams to find consistent, dominating, performance from an ill handling machine. Busch gets the win. But, KOTM, no way.
