Was it a Race? - Yes - Who Won?

posted in NASCAR |

Kyle BuschDon’t ask stupid questions.

It had four wheels, they were attached to a tin-top and they made revolutions around an oval who the hell do ya think rolled into Southside Speedway Thursday night and rolled out with the trophy?

None other than Kyle The Desperado Busch that’s who.

He not only won, but in true Desperado fashion, he not only won but stole the event named after Denny Hamlin as the events namesake could do no better than third in the Denny Hamlin 175 Late Model Race.

The race was the first event to benefit Hamlin’s new foundation, formed to aid the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and other child-oriented charities.

Busch turned the fastest qualifying lap and donated the $100 prize to the foundation as well. Busch started seventh under Southside’s starting-grid system.

Bobby Allison was also on hand to serve as grand marshal for the full-house event.

Busch took the lead for good on lap 116 on the 333 mile asphalt oval and steadily pulled away from second-place Chris Hopkins. Eddie Johnson finished third, Denny Hamlin fourth, Roy Hendrick fifth and former Cup, Busch and NCTS driver Curtis Markham sixth.

    I’m starting to think Kyle doesn’t do much “lying around the house”. This kid seems like he’s racing four nights a week half the time.

    Little doubt about it Tim, but he’s not the only one.

    Mike Wallace and Tony Stewart raced at one of their joint-owned tracks in Alabama the week before Talladega.

    A couple of the Wisconsin boys, Wimmer is one off the top of my head, are running at a short track up there in June/July sometime.
