It was either him or his spotter came on the radio and said "Good Night Gracie" as he made the pass. You couldn't help but smile. He is arrogant at times, but he's able to back it up on the track.
This season has started off really weird. When Waltrip is in the top 10 in pts, you know things are not right.
Don't worry. Mr. Napa will be back to wrecking himself and others in no time. It is doubtful that his good luck will last.
Disclaimer: I cannot stand Michael Waltrip. It is my educated opinion that he is where he is due to his older and much more successful brother (who can still outdrive many out there), the late DE, and his ability to annoyingly get his voice in people's heads to sell parts. Yes, I have met the man.
Were you watching when he made the pass on Bowyer for the lead late in the race. It was either him or his spotter came on the radio and said "Good Night Gracie" as he made the pass. You couldn't help but smile. He is arrogant at times, but he's able to back it up on the track.
that was Kyle being Kyle. He does make the races fun and interesting.
Here's some more on Mr. Busch from this past weekend

Kyle Busch - Best Man: Kyle Busch, the hometown boy, was a hero to a happy couple when he volunteered for an unusual extra assignment Friday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. NASCAR fans Damon and Heather Landry were getting married on one side of Victory Lane as Busch walked into the other side after winning the pole for the Shelby 427. Someone involved in the wedding told Busch that the couple didn't have a best man. "I'll be the best man," Busch said. Damon and Heather were thrilled. Busch, wearing his fire suit and cap, stood next to Damon during the ceremony, delaying the pole award presentation. Busch removed his hat and bowed, with his hands folded in front of him, when the chaplain started a prayer. When the ceremony ended, Busch saw that the newlyweds didn't have a wedding cake. So Busch gave the couple several bags of M&Ms (his sponsor) to nibble on during the celebration.(ESPN)(3-1-2009)
Red Bull for the Red Bull and Jagers, Jack Daniels because...well it's Jack, Home Depot and Lowe's becuase I like tools and tinkering around the house.
Im sure Jamie McMurrays team has a good time after the races.
This also got me thinking......Sprint finally got what it wanted. All the cell phone cars are with new sponsorships.

Well, almost. Penske's #12 is still sponsored by Verizon and their paint scheme is very Verizon-like, though it doesn't say Verizon on the car. So Sprint did get what they want for the most part.

? Is it? I thought it just said Penske on it? I'll have to pay more attention!
Could these drivers be even more obvious in pushing Coke. At least pour half of it out to make it appear they actually drink the stuff. I think Stewart is the only one that acutally enjoys it.
Verizon is going through with Alltel's commitment I think through next year. Big http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif to Verizon in doing that, they could have just said see ya later to Penske but didn't, even though they don't get any recognition. Have you guys noticed that there are now Verizon sponsored moments throughout the race? I would like to see Stremme win just to see who he thanks in victory lane afterward.
I agree with the whole Coke thing, it's almost comical these days with all the Coke stuff.
Have you guys noticed that other than Bristol, Martinsville, New Hampshire, and the road courses, that qualifying really doesn't matter a whole lot anymore? Given it helps, but it seems like more and more drivers win or finish well even when they start from the back.

Yeah, I give a lot of credit to Verizon for sticking with their commitment. I believe they signed on and then later were rejected by Sprint, but since the deal was done they just made the paint scheme what it is now. It's also funny that Penske has the same deal with Malboro is IRL. The cars just say Penske, but everyone knows what it is anyway.
or Fig Newtons across the windshield.
Anyone think Kyle Busch is somewhat like Ricky Bobby? Not in a way that he is funny (sometimes he is), but for the reason he'll say he's better than everyone out there and for the most part backs it up. Also because he talks smack over the radio.

he's definitely a "big" personality. and he does kind of have a "if you're not first, you're last" mentality. I can't really picture him being happy with anything other than a win.
before this season started, i had an intense dislike for kyle busch, stemming from richmond when he wrecked jr. but after his announcement of possible joining f1, i find myself rooting for him to win a championship, simply because i'd really like to see a top-nascar driver try f1. so, bring on the wins kyle!

It would be interesting to see how this turns out.
I doubt Kyle will ever do F1, he's 23? Say it takes him 3 or 5 years to win a Cup championship.....(it could, the chase is not his friend.) He will more than likley be "too old" to learn a whole new type of driving. F1 teams want young kids.
