No. 1 Kyle Busch

| | Comments (0) |

Maybe running four races in five days in four states wasn't such a good idea.
Kyle Busch is so far 0-for-3 in his little NASCAR adventure this week that saw him racing late models in Ohio, trucks in Texas, and stock cars in Tennessee and Pennsylvania.
He did not win in Ohio, Texas or Tennessee. For a driver with 10 NASCAR wins in the three top divisions of NASCAR, that is a little unusual.
Of course, he has one more chance to win a race, but Busch is not having a whole lot of luck in Pennsylvania either.
He wrecked his primary NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car in practice and will have to use his back-up and start in the back for today's race at Pocono.
Busch said before the race at Pocono that he believes he has an edge in the Cup cars.
"I've found something that's worked for me here recently in the past few weeks," said Busch, driver of the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. "I found it at Darlington. I won there. Then I finished third at Lowe's. Then we won (in Dover). You know, we're gaining on the car as well, too. But I think a lot of it is a little bit of driver. You got to stay calm when you can. You got to get going when the time's right and when you can get riled up."
