Kyle Busch Is King Of The Mountain

By Mark Young

It's been a while since I posted a KOM and I think it is a good time to do so.  Kyle Busch, whether you like him or not, is the hottest thing in NASCAR........period.  I don't care if you like him or not, every time he straps into that seat he is the one to be reckoned with.

His tangle with Dale Jr. has been blown so far out of proportion that it is bordering on insanity.  I have read comments on blogs and message boards from Junior fans talking about how they are boycotting M&M Mars products, Pedigree Dog Food, and even e-mailed the sponsor to tell them to drop out as sponsors for his team. 

Kyle Busch is exactly what NASCAR needed.  Back in January during the NASCAR media tour Brian France talked about how they wanted to see personality from the drivers and Kyle has given us just that.  Although Junior doesn't agree this sport has got a rivalry on it's hands.  Did anyone see Kyle's reaction to the boo birds at Darlington while he was on the introduction parade lap?  He lifted his glasses and pretended to wipe away a tear.  Though I don't necessarily like his approach Kyle is being himself and is the man right now.

Kyle Busch is the real deal.  Like him or not he is on top of the NASCAR world and I don't see him stepping down without a fight.  He is either going to ride this wave and contend for the Cup or his ego might get bigger than his helmet and we could see it all come crumbling down.  Either way Kyle Busch is King Of The Mountain......and deservedly  so.

That's what I think, what say you?
