How did Kyle Busch do in the past 2 races?

June 20, 2008   •   NASCAR News

Where did he finish? I see his points lead has narrowed a small bit. Did he have some bad finishes? Just curious…!!!
I finally did find a video. Does look like a spotter's fault again. Thanks bestanswer for another good answer.

At Pocono he had to go to a backup car after crashing his main car in the practice session. Thus, he had to start 43rd (This was the weekend where he ran all 3 events). He was working his way up through the field and was around 25th place about 45 laps into the event. But at the start/finish line he suddenly cut right thinking he was clear on the high side and came across McMurrays nose and hit the wall. His spotter didn't let him know he was there in time, but Kyle accepted the blame for cutting into the spot too soon. He also said that his right side mirror had broke before the race, and was unable to see McMurray on the high side.

He took responsibility when they interviewed. He apologized to McMurray for the move and was just upset that it happened. People will tell you it was the best interview he has given all season. In my opinion, he looked visibily tired after running 3 races in 3 states, but some people didn't think it affected him. He did have bags under his eyes and looked sleepy to me, though.

Ok so he ended up 43rd that race…

And at Michigan, he started on the pole due to the rain delay. He was running top 3-5 basically the entire race, but as usual, Michigan came down to a fuel mileage race. A few guys gambled, including Dale Jr…but Kyle didn't have enough fuel and pitted with about 16 to go while running about 6th place…

He came out around 26th and then steadily gained positions while everyone else pitted and came home 13th as the race ended under caution. He was a top 5 car all race, but on the next to last pit stop they supposedly didn't get all the fuel in the tank they could, and so he would not have made it to the finish anyway, and he didn't take the risk so he came in and topped off and got 13th.
