Rowdy Busch  showed the nascar nation that no track isn't safe when it comes to pure domination.Kyle snaked his #18 Toyota around the twisting tight quarters of Infineon Raceway with ease.

Starting 30th on the field the #18 quickly passed his way to front and he got the right caution to fall his way after he had already made his first pit and assumed the lead  and then simply whipped the field that included road race aces Boris Said,Ron Fellows, Scott Pruett and Marcus Ambrose.

"I'm kind of shocked," said Gordon, a five-time Infineon winner who fought handling problems early in the race. "He [Busch] went by me at the beginning, and his car looked about as bad as mine was. It was sliding all over the place.

"To get the car up front and being able to maintain that position -- if you can keep the car on the racetrack, you get credit from me. If he can win here, he's probably going to think he can win anywhere -- and maybe he can."

Tony Stewart and Gordon are widely considered the best road racers that run a full sprint cup schedule along with Robby Gordon and Juan Pablo Montoya following close behind but had better take notice that ROWDY  is the man to beat no matter where the series is at every week.

Busch led a race high 78 laps to claim his 5th win of the season and expand his points lead to 103 over Jeff Burton of RCR.The sprint cup is in Loudon New Hampshire this week and look for Kyle Busch to once again be the man to beat!
