Kyle Busch Completes 2008 Road Course Sweep

Sunday August 10, 2008
The 2008 Centurion Boats at the Glen confirmed Kyle Busch's place among NASCAR's elite road racers. Kyle backed up his June win at Infineon Raceway with today's win in Watkins Glen. This was Busch's eighth win of 2008 and he extended his lead in Chase bonus points. As it stands Busch will have a 50 point lead when the Chase begins in September.

This race also saw a scary late-race incident. David Gilliland was spun into the outside wall and bounced back out into traffic. He was hit multiple times as nine cars in all were involved in this wreck. The race was red flagged for 45 minutes while crews cleaned up the mess.

One of the drivers involved, Bobby Labonte, walked away from his car but was later taken to a local hospital for evaluation. Hopefully Bobby will be fine and ready to go in Michigan next week.

I hope every body likes the way nascar is headed! Its starting to sound like were in another country with all those ex formula 1 racers trying to butt in….Is this still stock car racing or is nascar selling out? Also what happened to dale jr that was the dumbest race strategy i ever saw.Why would you gamble on pit stops when you were running in first place.I hope hendrick steps in before they blow it!!
