Full Throttle

That special breed of “fans’ that have spent the better part of 28 Cup events raining boos upon the head of Kyle Busch should be like pig in slop this morning.

After two bad finishes Busch finds himself out, if not mathematically, in all practicality from any chance to gain his first championship. The leader of the Loathing Squad, also called the “ink-stained wretch who shall remain nameless,” went into fits of delusions and proclaimed Busch’s comments after dropping out early “confirmed what most had suspected – that he’d fold under the pressure of the Chase.”

Whatever, Yahoo, yahoo he’s had two mechanical problems not any kind mental lapses in judgment due to pressure. Once a nitwit always a nitwit (and a biased reporter) I guess.

J.J. is still in the hunt if not the prime hunter for his third consecutive Cup but with Biffle doing a two-fer, and a couple 1.5-milers coming up, where he and his Roush-Fenway teammates excel, he may be a load to handle down the stretch.

Surprises on the day included Mikey finishing in 10th and Dave Blaney 12th.
