Kurt, Not Kyle Busch Has A Perfect Day

With Kurt Busch's dominance in the KOBALT Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday, his performance scored him a perfect Driver Rating of 150.0 for the day.

This is Busch's fourth perfect Driver Rating since Loop Data statistics started to be collected in 2005. He's also the only driver to have more than one "perfect" day.

During Sunday's Atlanta race, Busch had
  • Laps Led (234),
  • Average Running Position (1.5) and
  • Fastest Laps Run (81).
Busch's other perfect Driver Ratings were in his Pocono Raceway wins in 2005 and 2007 and at Phoenix International Raceway in 2005.

The other "perfect" ratings in the Cup Series since 2005 were
  • Tony Stewart 8/14/05 Watkins Glen
  • Kevin Harvick 11/12/06 Phoenix
  • Clint Bowyer 9/16/07 New Hampshire
  • Jimmie Johnson 8/31/08 Auto Club
So in your eyes, though Kurt Busch put in quite the performance, do you agree that he had a perfect day? That is, aside from his painting the wall a few times with Miller blue?
