A friend of mine just sent a text to me. He asked why NASCAR was wasting all this gasoline. Just give the Nationwide Series race trophy to Kyle Busch every week and save the fuel.

The Shrub got his first NNWS victory ever at The Track Too Tough to Tame tonight. He led the most laps and is now just one race behind Mark Martin for the the all-time most wins in the old Grand National Series. Kyle avoided a big wreck and used a bunch of gas.

Not very green of him.

Matt Kenseth put on a dominating performance at Texas Motor Speedway Saturday night.

Much has been made of recent winless streaks by Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr, to name a few. Yet little has been made of Kenseth’s winless streak, because the 2003 Champ stays under the radar and doesn’t get written about by the media. After winning Daytona and Fontana to start the 2009 season, Kenseth has gone through a couple crew chiefs before pairing up with old hand Jimmy Fennig and the results are starting to show. Kenseth is tied for third in points at the moment and even won a pole this season, a feat for him.

Matt Kenseth came into the sport under the mentorship of Mark Martin and the two seem more and more similar every year. Kenseth is now a 10-year veteran and one of the most-respected drivers in the garage. He’s had disagreements with drivers in his younger days but those rough edges have long been polished. Kenseth is still competing and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see his son, Ross Kenseth, join the Roush stable when he turns 18 to bring us the latest father-son pairing in NASCAR.

What Kenseth lacks in flash he makes up for in tenacity. Before Kevin Harvick took the label Kenseth was often NASCAR’s best closer. How many people remember Kenseth finished 5th in the final points standings last year? Exactly. We haven’t seen the last of the fast Crown Royal #17 in victory lane this year.

Jeff Gordon’s Drive for Five Alive

Who has the best chance to dethrone Jimmie Johnson?

Denny Hamlin or Kevin Harvick? Carl Edwards or maybe Kyle Busch?

I think it might be Alan Gustafson.

Gustafson - most recently the crew chief for Mark Martin’s Hendrick Motorsport effort - has a new driver.

Four time Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon is the new guy in the shop. And I like the pairing.

Back in November, when HMS announced the driver swaps of the 25, 5 and 88 teams, Gordon said all the expected things.

“I’m certainly looking forward to working with Alan,” Gordon said. “I’ve known Alan for a number of years, always respected him and I guess in the back of my mind, I always thought it would be kind of cool to work with him. It’s a great opportunity.”

Whatever. Something had to change on the Jeff Gordon/Steve Letarte team. They had a good year but….

Good ain’t great enough.

Gotta win races. And at least one more Cup.

The drive for five. Used to belong to Gordon. Now that Jimmie Johnson has his five, it might again be the anthem of the 39 year old.

And I think he might be able to do it. With Alan Gustafson.
