Kyle Busch again made the rest of the Sprint Cup drivers look out classed.
Amid a chorus of boos when introduced and a general lack of fan support The Shrub once again proved to be the class of the field at the newly repaved Darlington Speedway. “The Track Too Tough to Tame” handed out more Darlington Stripes than I can remember in recent history. Drivers seemed to have problems negotiating the 200 mph back straight speeds once they hit turn 3.
The race which saw 40 cars beat the 12 year old track qualifying record was slowed by 8 caution flags. But cautions nor a pit penalty, for a loose lug nut, could slow down Rowdy as he led 169 laps and beat Carl Edwards by more than three seconds. Busch commented on the fan’s less than kind greeting:
"“I’m here to race, If I win it just makes them more upset and crying on their way home.”
"
Busch seemed to revel in the fan’s disgust for his actions the week before. Fans were still blaming him for wrecking fan favorite Dale Earnhardt, Jr. at Richmond on his way to a possible victory. Upon exiting his car in victory lane, he bowed to the mostly jeering crowd in disdain.
Which leads to this weeks BUZZ ON PIT ROW:
"Will fan’s dislike for Kyle Busch keep increasing with each win and is it good for the sport?
"
