Infineon Post Race Report

The twists and turns of Infineon Raceway was not going to get in the way of Kyle Busch on Sunday as he took his #18 Toyota to his 5th victory of the year, giving him 50 bonus point so far going into the chase, for the final 10 races of the year. Anyone who is doubting this kids ability needs to look back at the different types of tracks he has won at this year. Atlanta (1.5 Mile Oval) Talladega (restrictor-plate track) Dover, (high banked concrete oval) Darlington (toughest track) and Infineon ( roadie).
This kid is the real deal. What Hendrick's Motorsports must be thinking? We kept Mears and got rid of Busch? All the na-sayers were talking about how bad Kyle would do at Gibbs, with a new car in Toyota and everyone saying that Gibbs would not be able to handle 3 hot-headed drivers. Well right now Joe Gibbs Racing look like the smartest team in the garage.

Race Results:

1st Kyle Busch - 5 wins in 16 races this year...... ummmm WOW!

2nd David Gililland - Why is it such a shocked that he got 2nd, this guy has more laps around this track then most Cup drivers. Its called the Nascar West Series.

3rd Jeff Gordon - Nice Improvement, but all expected more from him at a roadie

4th Clint Bowyer - Wait, wait.... Bowyer can turn right too?

5th Casey Mears - Great top 5, but too little, too late. Gone after this season?

6th Juan Montoya - Great run most of the race, bad luck, and he is mad at Marcos Ambrose for spinning him out.

7th Ryan Newman - Nice solid run for the Daytona 500 winner

8th Matt Kenseth - Great finish for a bad start, still in the top 12 in points, but only 2 ahead of Harvick

9th Carl Edwards - No backflip here, but he won the Nationwide Race, oh and no backflip there too.

10th Tony Stewart - Can we expect a phone call from Kevin Harvick? Tony had a solid top 3 or 5 until the #29 changed that.

Other Notables:

12th Dale Earnhardt Jr - Glad to be anyway from a road course for a while.

18th Jamie McMurray - You gotta feel for him, last year at Infineon he was almost there, and this year Harvick takes him out.

19th Elliott Sadler - If you feel bad for McMurray then you have to cry for Sadler, flat right rear tire does him in after the red flag

33rd Kasey Kahne - went from first to...... well 33rd
