Dupes is happy that the Gasman has seen the light and has found his way to NASCAR. Dupes is even glad he’s picked a favorite driver, though the thought here is that it has more to do with Kyle Busch’s football affiliation than anything else.
Dude….it is SO on!
Kyle Busch’s win at Saturday night’s Dodge Challenger 500 at Darlington officially signaled the beginning of The Rowdy Revolution.
If Dale Earnhardt Jr. WAS the King, then hell…..the King is dead. Love him or hate him (and it seems that most of you are MOSDEF haters)….it is impossible not to recognize that Citizen Busch is the new most exciting name in the sport.
A week after playing bump and run with Steve Wallace and spinning Junior out of a potential victory….Busch rode Darlington like it’s never been run before. The right side of his car mutilated with telltale Darlington Stripes (gashes in the side of the car), Busch proved that the wall could be used to maintain control while going at very high speeds.
(we’ve proven this point many, many times while playing EA Sports Nascar 08)
Fox broadcaster Darrell Waltrip continually stated early in the race that there was no way Busch’s car would hold up to the pounding Rowdy was dishing out.
Guess what, Darrell: BOOGETY BOOGETY BOOGETY!
Busch now holds a 79 point Sprint Cup lead over second place Jeff Burton and is for more reasons than one is THE driver everyone is talking about.
“I wanted to beat him real bad,” said second place finisher, Carl Edwards, who gained three spots to seventh in the points standings. “Now we’re tied for most wins.”
But you’re not even close to Citizen Busch in CAJONES, Carlos.
“I can’t tell you how many times he (Busch) tried to give the race away by hitting the wall,” third place Jeff Gordon said. “You wouldn’t believe how torn up the right side of his car was.”
But he DIDN’T give the race away, Gordo, he took it and stuffed it in his back pocket.
That frustration you hear from the Hendrick Motorsports camp is probably fueled by the realization that they let the sports new rockstar (CitizenBusch) walk so they could hire the old one (Earnhardt). While hindsight is five-oh/five-oh…..Hendrick have to be kicking themselves for keeping Casey Mears and letting Busch walk to Joe Gibbs’ garage.
Then again, it’s hard to imagine the Midget Mafia (Gordon and Jimmie Johnson) allowing Busch’s ego the space it needs to fulfill his destiny as potentially one of history’s greatest racers.
So what of Junior? He’s still the major domo with the racing sponsors and is one of Nascar’s most accomplished and pitchman. But he’s become the Phil Mickelson to Busch’s Tiger Woods. Like Mickelson, Earnhardt will still get his wins and compete for championships…but the energy has shifted to Rowdy and everyone in the building knows it.
It’s ironic that Earnhardt has Mountain Dew’s AMP drink on his hood. What better pitchman for a crazy soft drink than a Rowdy race savant?
Junior better not get too comfortable in those Levis. There’s a new sheriff in town….and he’s Citizen Busch.
Stay tuned to flatusyahu for in depth Citizen Busch coverage.
la Revolucion esta en fuego!
Hendrick Motorsports manbabies were out in force last night at Darlington after Citizen18 whipped their asses all over the Lady in Black.
If it was Jeff Gordon whining about “being so dang competitive” it was Dale Earnhardt Jr. complaining that CuzinTony changed his A-frame without his knowledge and didn’t tell him after the race.
We’ll do some more Hendrick-hatin’ later in the day….for now…..we’re just going to celebrate the Rowdy Revolution for a couple more hours.
Yeah, we know it’s a little early in the century to make this call….but Kyle Busch is the best thing to happen to NASCAR since #3 himself started kicking asses and taking names.
Busch is not only the most exciting….and quite possible the BEST driver in the world today…..but he’s MOSDEF the BADDEST MUTHAFUCKA on four highly-maligned Goodyear brand tires.
“I don’t care….I’ll wreck as many cars as I have to”, said Busch after giving Steve Wallace the high hard one at the Lipton at Richmond on Friday night.
It’s time to jump on the #18 bandwagon….there’s a new sheriff in town…..and his name is ROWDY BUSCH!!!!!
