Kyle Busch’s season stunk, I guess. I mean he didn’t even qualify for the Chase to the Sprint Cup.

He did win the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship. But, come on.

The Shrub only won 20 races in NASCAR’s top three touring series.

Last year, Rowdy was really good. He had 22 victories in 2008. And he actually made the Chase.

Seriously folks. 44 major series NASCAR wins in two years?

There will likely be people inducted into the new NASCAR Hall of Fame over the next 10 years with fewer wins than that in their entire, spectacular careers.

This weekend - maybe this season - belonged to Jimmie Johnson and his unprecedented four consecutive Sprint Cup championships.

But the back-to-back seasons that Kyle Busch has strung together deserve more recognition than they’ve received.
