must have been an interesting week at the dupes household. the leader of la revolucion, kyle busch, won two more races….bringing his 2008 total to an astounding 14 wins through the second week of july. unprecedented is what i believe i heard joe gibbs call that. even more unprecedented is that he got more applause than boos after both wins…..startling AND delighting the CHOSEN ONE.

just days earlier, joe gibbs gracefully let tony stewart step into the abyss of team ownership, releasing him from his contract so that he could become another kyle petty: a dude with a famous name and a slow race car. that HAS to hurt missus dupes to see her favorite driver make such a big mistake.

and just a few days before that, dale earnhardt jr. was fired by one of his sponsors. let THAT sink in for a moment. dale earnhardt jr, the leader of the withering RED ARMY, was fired by a sponsor. the US NAVY has decided not to sponsor earnhardt jr’s nationwide team despite brad kesolowski being one of the top young drivers in the game. you reckon the navy reached its quota of rednecks and doesn’t need JR’s kind anymore? who knows. but the wheels sure are falling off that legend.

elsewhere, we wonder if clint bowyer and carl edwards regret signing renewals now that a spot is opening up at gibbs? oops. a spot isn’t opening up at gibbs. joey legano is steppin’ right into smoke’s #20……and the beat goes on. busch/legano will be the new gordon/johnson of the next decade. take it to the bank.

y’all come back now, ya’ hear?

we have a habit of letting the record of the leader of La Revolucion, Citizen Busch, speak for itself…so when dupes launched an all out congratupalooza for dale earnhardt jr last week….we just sat back quietly.

you’ll remember that jr. had not won a race of any kind since the sack race at his fourth grade field day in the early nineties (and even that was a restrictor plate race) before he finally took the checkered flag last week while the rest of the field was gassing up and hitting the pottie. congrats on that win, jr.

yes…it’s true that it’s been almost a month since kyle busch had won a sprint car race. almost a month. goddamn, that’s 1/24th the losing streak that jr. had.

but we digress.

good racing fans all over the globe (including the ones pictured above in moscow) took to the streets tonight to celebrate Citizen Busch’s FIFTH win THIS SEASON at sonoma. if you’re keeping score, Rowdy has now won races on all kinds of surfaces, all kinds of track configurations, against all kinds of moe’s. most often, he has been seen kicking jr.’s ass all over the asphalt.

if dale earnhardt (god rest his blessed soul) was the intimidator….then busch is the dominateor. book it danno.

viva la revolucion!

kyle busch got wrecked by his teammate jason leffler at the helluvagood200 at dover on saturday.

an interviewer asked him a stupid question and busch provided the best one-word answer in the history of interviews.

duh. DOH!

Mrs. Dupes favorite announcer Darrell Waltrip just declared that he’s never seen anyone have as dominant season as Citizen18, Kyle Busch, has had this year.

 

still think it would be neato to wake up every morning next danica patrick?

these pictures and video give you an idea of the MAD SKILLZ the sports illustrated photo editors must have to make danica patrick look hot in the swimsuit issue.

as all of the free world knows…patrick didn’t win today at indy….but she DID win the award for best PMS POSE.

here is why she was pissed.

looking for an Indy 500 slump-buster and citing that she already wears a gold thong on race day, Danica Patrick announced last week that she’s not trimming her eyebrows (and presumably other areas) until she wins the Indy 500.

what a night at flatusyahu’s wrascar desk!

first we got a peak at sharon stone’s nutsack.

and now…..it’s official….. Kyle Busch has tamed LMS and wins the Carquest 300! the only thing that beats Rowdy this year is broken fuzzlenuts!

that’s nine out of 13 for toyota and…oh, yes…..dale earnhardt jr finished in his customary fourth place! what a superstar!

Legendary race executive Humpy Wheeler, President and General Manager of Lowes Motor Speedway, resigned today after a distuingished career as a pioneer in motorsports promotion.

In making the announcement…..Wheeler took the time to compare the leader of La Revolucion, Kyle Bush with the former leader of the free world, Dale Earnhardt Sr:

“The biggest thing that worries me about racing in the future is we don’t get the great race drivers,” Wheeler said. “That we leave out the next Kyle Busch or the next Dale Earnhardt Sr. because a guy can’t afford to race and gets stuck in the cornfields of Iowa.”

You can read the rest of the story here.

Citizen Busch notes that Wheeler made no mention of Dale Earnhardt Jr.

That’s right, fellow members of the Revolucion!, Corky Blogs! is back tonight, Live Blogging about what will hopefully be a CitizenBusch victory in the NASCAR All-Star Race.

Should be starting 8pmish. Join us with your comments!

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!
