Familiar viewpoint of Kyle Busch's competitors

I wonder if NASCAR has ever tried a “competition caution for fire fighting” as an excuse to tighten up a yawner of a race? If not, they might want to put that club in the bag for today’s Auto Club 500 Sprint Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway. Otherwise, Kyle “The Shrubs’s On Fire!” Busch may make this the longest 500 mile race in the history of boring television.

I know. Last year’s edition of today’s race lasted part of two whole days. But a 500 mile Cup race that is anything like the combined 500 miles of the San Bernadino County 200 Camping World Truck Series romp - I mean race - and the Stater Brother 300 Nationwide Series parade, might seem even longer. OK, the NWS race wasn’t that bad. But it was only 300 miles.

If the real NASCAR season starts in California, Kyle Busch is as hot as any driver I’ve ever seen.

Get ready for NASCAR to try and put out the fire.

Dissin?! That’s as nice as I’ve ever been to Kyle “the Younger”, Marc.

Art, this race never comes down to the wire… the weather seems to create such a mire… but I know that with you two, I’m preaching to the choir.

Got something to say?
