Kyle Busch - All Around Cup Winner

by Bruce Simmons

Short tracks, Medium tracks and now road courses.  That makes it official:  Kyle Busch has won just about on every track type there is.  We need to get him in ice racing, see how he does there!

As much as I beat on him with his antics, I have to respect his talent.  This year alone in Cup, he's won at Atlanta, Talladega, Darlington, Dover and now Infineon Raceway as he smoothly hit his marks all day long, followed by David Gilliland, Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer and Casey Mears rounded out the top 5 spots of the Toyota / Save Mart 350.

And for the first time, the crowd cheered him rather than the usual crowd of boo's.

Overall, it was a quiet, uneventful race until the closing laps.  The most notable yellow flag involved 4 cars as they had wound down to 6 laps remaining and what looked like a rather overly aggressive move Kevin Harvick hit turn 4 a bit too quick, losing it and involving Jamie McMurray, Tony Stewart and Ron Fellows.  The wreck eliminated McMurray and Stewart from the chance to cone in 2nd behind Kyle Busch 'cause no one was touching him on the restarts.
