Kyle Busch, I hate him, but here are some facts!!
7/13/08

Kyle Busch was born in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 2, 1985.  He grew up watching his Father and older brother race and by age 10, he was a full-fledged mechanic and served as crew-chief of his older brother’s dwarf car team. 



In 1998, shortly after his 13th birthday, Busch’s driving career officially began, but schoolwork was always made first priority. His parents stressed accountability, so if Busch wanted to race, he was responsible for working on, repairing and paying for his own cars. He learned quickly that carelessness on the track proved costly and sometimes meant not racing the next weekend.


From 1999 through 2001, Busch earned more than 65 wins in legends cars as he racked up two track championships at Las VegasMotorspeedway’s “Bullring” before moving to Late Models.  Winning seemed to come naturally as the youngster captured 10 victories in late model competition at the Bullring in 2001.

Kyle Busch was the reason for Nascar making the "18 years old to drive" rule.  Because he was ejected from a Nascar Truck Race at age 16 because the Race Weekend was a Marlboro sanctioned event and drivers under the age of 18 could not be affiliated with Tobacco or Alcohol sponsers.

Busch ran 6 races in 2004 in the #84 CarQuest Chevy for HMS. His highest finish was 24th at California Speedway.

After the announcement that long time Hendrick NEXTEL Cup series driver Terry Labonte would be running a limited schedule in 2005 and 2006, Busch was picked to take over the #5 Kellogs/Carquest Auto Parts Chevrolet Monte Carlo for Hendrick Motorsports.


He won his first Cup race at the Sony HD 500  in Fontana, CA in September 2005, and is the youngest-ever winner in the NASCAR Cup Series, at 20 years, 125 days. He followed that up with another win two months later in November 2005 at PIR. Busch clinched the 2005 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Rookie of the Year title before the end of the 2005 season.


Busch finished the season in tenth place in the 2006 Nextel Cup standings, 448 points behind champion Jimmie Johnson. His winnings for the 2006 season totaled $5,537,337. Busch is currently the youngest driver to make the NASCAR NEXTEL Chase for the Cup. He is also the youngest pole sitter in NEXTEL Cup history.

This Year (2008) Kyle has already racked up 14 wins in the 3 Major Series of Nascar!!  7 in Nascar Sprint Cup, 5 in Nationwide, and 2 in Craftsman Trucks!!  ALONG WITH 6 times of finishing 2nd in all 3 series.

The Question is why is this kid so FAST?  Well the obvious answer is that the Toyotas he is driving ARE SUPER FAST!!  At Chicagoland even the wrecked Toyotas were faster than everyone MOST LAPS!   However, he has won with like 4 different teams in 3 different types of cars, so HUM?  Another GOOD explanation, as bad as I hate it, is that Kyle is just good.  He has had SO MUCH time in the Buisness, watching his Dad and Brother, seeting his mind very early on his Goals.  Also he has learned from (BY Being on teams with) Terry Labonte, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin and had RICK HENDRICK and JOE GIBBS Helping, not to mention his brother is KURT BUSCH!  Come on, can you get any better TEACHERS??
