Checker Auto Parts 500

Today's NASCAR race was great! Some of the best racing we have had all year. The big news today though happened before the race. Kurt Busch was apparently pulled over for reckless driving Friday evening. Then, during the event, he was uncooperative, and would not submit to a field breathalizer test. The office apparently smelled alcohol on him, though Busch denies that the event is alcohol-related. When the sobriety test was administered at the office near the raceway, the equipment failed, which was probably a good thing for Busch.

I have never really liked Busch. He's probably one of the few drivers in NASCAR I don't like. Actually, he's probably the only one I don't like. He just seems to be arrogant, and in a bad way. Sometimes, arrogant can be funny, but in his case, he comes off as a spoiled brat. I just hope his brother Kyle doesn't turn out the same.

Roger Penske said in an interview that this would not affect Busch's career at Penske racing in 2006, but I have my doubts. They will keep a tight reign on that boy. No more late nights on the town for ol' Kurt. Well, not if he wants to keep his ride. He's already out for the rest of the year at Roush Racing. Jack Rousch is probably glad to hand this "problem child" off to someone else.

Lastly, I want to congratulate Kyle Busch on a great race. He did an awesome job on fending off Greg Biffle for the win.
