I have to admit it. I was a Kyle Busch hater. Last year when he raced for my favorite team, Hendrick Motor Sports, I said good riddance, farewell, auf wiedersehen! Go ahead and call me a bandwagon jumper, but I have to admit young Kyle (who likes to be called Rowdy) is wining me over this year at Joe Gibbs Racing.

He's winning me over, not just with his driving on the track, but his attitude and how he's handling his business off the track. He's certainly not being rude but he has a take-no-prisoners attitude.

Over the last 2 weeks at Lowe's, I have personally watched him win the pole for the truck race, he won the pole for the all-star race, and he won Saturday night's Nation Wide series race.

Keep the bows coming Rowdy!

Kyle alluded to a rough morning on the way to the Coke 600...Anyone know what occurred?

And what about the bottle throwing by fans---Shall we (esp. Nascar and the media)wait till a driver is hurt before finally reacting?
