Kyle Busch is having a banner year.
Halfway through the 2008 season, the phenom racer has won 7 Sprint Cup Series races in a Toyota no less. This time last year, Toyota was still struggling just to make races and Busch was struggling to find the finish line in quality Chevrolet equipment.
It would take a complete meltdown on the part of Busch and his team, to prevent them from claiming a spot in the annual Chase for the Championship. As it stands right now, Busch will have at least a 70 point lead over his closest challenger (Dale Earnhardt, Jr.) come September.
“I really don’t believe how good things are going," Busch admitted after his seventh win, third in four events. "It’s just been a phenomenal year. Something just so special. I have to thank the good Lord from up above.
"I don’t know where this is coming from, but he’s blessing us all at Joe Gibbs Racing this year. This is just a privilege to be a part of and we’re so proud.”
Busch's banner year has fans asking, "Can a guy we hate really be that good?" They said the same thing about Jeff Gordon, which makes for a simple answer. The fans don't have to love you in order to be successful.
