On a recent NASCAR broadcast announcer Darrel Walltrip declared that Kyle Busch could “run three wide all by himself.” Meaning the young driver from Las Vegas had the ability to run anywhere on the track, often switching grooves mid corner to find the best line.
Watch Busch in the #51 truck from last weekend’s race in Atlanta for a perfect example.
Over the first four weeks of the season Kyle Busch has been the class of the field in Trucks and the top two NASCAR stock car series. His historic first win for Toyota in the Cup race at Atlanta was the perfect exclamation point on a weekend that saw him lead both Cup and Truck series point standings, win two races, and dominate a third until a blown tire put him out of contention.
It seems that the off season move from Hendricks to Gibbs Racing has given Kyle Busch the opportunity to showcase his raw talent behind the wheel.
