Another one of those dreaded bye weeks for the Sprint Cup Series this week. But rejoice, that is the last one for this season. It’s on every weekend from now until November 21st.
The biggest thing that happened in NASCAR this week is the Kyle Busch won the Truck Series race at Chicago. That’s two truck victories in a row and four consecutive NASCAR sanctioned races that he’s won. That’s an impressive feat. What could you compare it to? I can’t think of an achievement in any other sport that would be akin to the tear that Kyle is on.
As for the Nationwide series, some guy named Boris Said (that sounds like a good name for a Russian punk band) won a race in Canada. It was Said’s first career victory and it vaulted him into double digits standing in the Nationwide Series.
As far as Nationwide Series races held in foreign countries go, this was a good one. A green-white-checkered finish with a whole lot of bumping and fighting going on in the final lap. Plus, road courses are always fun. A winding road course like the one at Montreal guarantees some extra contact between drivers. And watching the drivers hop over the curbs is something we don’t normally get to do. So that’s something.
Otherwise, not much going on in NASCAR nation this week. Some pretty girl named Danica said she was planning on doing some driving next year.
Just seven more days until the Sprint Cup Series moves to Hotlanta.
