Its one thing to race hard and crash but to do what he did under CAUTION was just totally immature and low. So much for the "new Kyle Busch", he still has a lot of growing up to do. 3. dUDE gUY posted: 11.04.2011 - 11:04 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Kyle Busch is the biggest waste of extreme talent that I have ever seen. Lame. 4. Cooper posted: 11.04.2011 - 11:06 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I have an idea...Why not strip the purse money that Kyle will earn? Every time a driver gets "parked" the team shouldn't be eligible for their portion of the purse money. The money that is lost, is then donated to charity. At least some good can come from some bad situations. $10000 might not mean a lot to Kyle, but it would mean a lot to some other people. Just a thought. As far as suspension...the answer is none. Carl Edwards got no suspension for a very similar situation in Atlanta last year. Can we all agree that Kyle has anger issues? I think Kyle would benefit from some anger management classes much like Kevin did almost 10 years ago. If I myself, can admit to anger problems, then surely Kyle can. Anger issues can at times be a dangerous thing. Let's just hope he can harness that angry energy and turn it into a positive energy on the racetrack. Lost in all this, is that Austin Dillon at worst is an 80% favorite for the Truck Series Championship. Any finish better than 17th will do next week. 5.

Ryan Sieg finishes on the lead lap with a nice top 15. BJ McLeod was able to run the distance in the #93 after weeks of parking. Clay Greenfield kept the truck clean and finished 22nd. 56k fans in the stands? I'd say half that figure would be accurate. 6. 00andJoe posted: 11.04.2011 - 11:12 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Given that even the SPEED crew immedately stated Kyle needed to be parked for the year... 7.

To avoid running out of fuel Nelson Piquet, Jr pitted and with fresh tires drove up to fourth and was right on the bumper of Ty Dillon at the checkered flag. The rookie battle is going to be incredibly interesting at Homestead. 9. 00andJoe posted: 11.04.2011 - 11:13 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) #22 sponsor: American Eurocopter (no capital C) #20 sponsor: Pegasus Helicopter/Panhandle Grading & Paving 10.

He did the same thing to Harvick in Darlington earlier this year and just got a slap on the wrist for it. Enough is enough! It's time to teach rowdy a lesson and a suspension would make him think twice for doing something so dangerous, as it would really upset his sponsers in all three series. Nobody can afford to lose sponsers. 11. Dodge posted: 11.04.2011 - 11:16 pm Rate this comment: (0) (2) What Kyle did was definately wrong. But the thing I don't like is that the whole SPEED crew were only blaming Busch. Hornaday is the one that was going for a championship and yet he was the one that forced the issue ON LAP 15. Nobody was directly behind so he could of slowed down and let Busch go then get back to him and pass him again once past I believe it was Chapman. I know most aren't going to like what I put down. I am not a big fan of Busch and definately not a Hornaday fan. Maybe if he didn't drive for KHI then I would view him differently. I know starting in 2012 he will not be driving for that clown Harvick anymore. As for Dillon, put him with any other team like Randy Moss Motorsports or any other team and he wouldn't even be close to the front. Childress has the best equipment in the truck series since Roush and Hendrick don't have teams any more. 12. 1995 Subaru WRX STi posted: 11.04.2011 - 11:19 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) Kyle Busch, you are pathetic. 13. jabber1990 posted: 11.04.2011 - 11:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) it looks to me like Kyle tried to maybe rough up Hornaday, but the wrecking was an accident 14.

Yeah, I'm sure you'd want every driver parked for doing the same thing, you guys are all 100% objective. Gimme a break. Parked for the rest of the year? Are you retarded? Hornaday brought this on himself, by racing stupid way too early in the race, and forcing the issue against the one guy on the garage that you can count on to lose his temper if you get into him for no reason. Hornaday is either senile, or just plain didn't want to win the championship. You think Busch gives a s*** about wrecking his own Truck? You think he gives a s*** about what the fans will think after he puts you in the wall for wrecking him? If you've watched NASCAR in the last 7 years, you know Busch is dangerous. So why go three wide on him 15 laps into a race with a title on the line, when you know you can't complete the pass safely? 16.

This isn't "have at it boys", even the announcers said that! You know there's a problem when I agree with Michael Waltrip (you know, the guy who is busy wrecking people whenever he races at the plate tracks?) about stupid shit like this. HOLY DOUBLE STANDARDS BATMAN! Remember, he did the same thing at Darlington earlier this year. Seriously, bar him from any race for the rest of the season, maybe he'll learn from that, though I doubt it. He'd probably come back even more angry and continue his shenanigans. It's really sad when your OWN SPOTTER has to calm you down like a child. And to those talking about Hornaday, yes, his move was a little too ambitious, but Johnny Chapman was getting caught extremely quickly, and he got loose, simple mistake. Of course, making a mistake or simply having Kyle Busch making a mistake around you means you did it on purpose and will pay dearly. It doesn't matter if you're in a lower series or if you're running for the championship, it's always your fault because the great Kyle Busch can do no wrong. If nothing comes of this (which won't of course), I expect the same for any incident in the same vein afterwards. 19. irony posted: 11.05.2011 - 12:24 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Kyle definitely did it intentionally. He turned to the left after he saw that just bumping Ron wasn't going to crash him. As a Hornaday fan I'd like to thank Kyle for keeping Ron from losing the title by about 5 points like was going to happen, due to an over sized penalty for a manufacturer error early in the year, and due to Harvick waiting way too long to make changes to the #33 crew. That was going to be depressing. Kyle is too pathetic to get mad at, and his fan base too bandwagon to take seriously enough to argue with. Just like Carl, he will get away with it and it'll be over with. Unfortunately for Ron, it will really be over with after just one more race (more than likely). He's had a great career. I wish he could of gotten his 5th championship, but he's accomplished plenty. 20. cjs3872 posted: 11.05.2011 - 12:48 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Dodge, what else could Hornaday have done? He closed up on that 07 truck of Johnny Chapman so fast that that move he tried was the only safe one he could have made. Much like the situation at the end of this year's Indianapolis between J.R. Hildebrand and Charlie Kimball, Hornaday could not have made any oter move safely. I'd bet his closing rate on Chapman's truck was between 20-30 MPH, so he tried to go around it. He could never have backed off enough and would have flat run over Chapman, which might have created an even worse situation, taking himself, Busch, and Chapman out, along with several others, including Kevin Harvick. No, Hornaday made the right move, it just didn't work out, and that happens sometimes. But Busch's retaliation shows just what a punk he is and always will be. Joe Gibbs, one of the most respected men in recent NASCAR history, needs to fire this guy fast. No matter who he would replace him with, he would almost certainly have to be a better representative for the sport than Busch could ever be. Remember that he got a speeding ticket earlier this year going 128 MPH on a country road, proving that he has no regard for even his own safety, much less the safety of others. As much as A.J. Foyt and Dale Earnhardt, Sr. hated to lose, you would never see either of them pull a stunt like this in a million years, and they would get in the face of anybody they saw do something like that, because they, and their contemporaries, respected their competitors, as well as the sport, something Busch will never do. On a positive note, NASCAR is, as a result of James Buesecher's running out of fuel late, saved the embarrassment of having a driver win a championship without inning a race, and even failing to qualify for one. Let's hope that something minor happens to Elliott Sadler, like an engine problem or running out of fuel, keeping him from winning the title without winning a race. Now if he were to win tomorrow's Nationwide Series race at Texas, my opinion on his quest for the Nationwide Series title will change dramatically. But having a driver win a championship in a major series without winning even one race, and Sadler hasn't even finished second in one race this year, would be a huge embarrassment for the sport. Can you imagine a driver winning a championship in a year in which he neither finishes first or second in any race? 21.

Dodge posted: 11.05.2011 - 1:51 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) cjs3872 I understand where your point of view is but respectfully disagree. Hornaday should take a little responsibility in the melee. I like that he wanted to race hard so early but at times just gotta be careful. And when it comes to the fulltimers racing against the Truck-Wackers, they have to be even more careful as the Wackers almost never care for those going for championships. Maybe we need to be blaming Chapman while we are at it too since he was way off pace. Chapman is a joke. When was the last time he actually COMPLETED a WHOLE race? As for your opinion on ZERO WIN championships, I agree with you on that. Although, to me, even if E. Sadler wins a race, I don't want to see him get the Championship as I don't want to hear Harvick gloat as usual about owning the first Nationwide Championship for KHI. 25. 18fan posted: 11.05.2011 - 1:53 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) As a Kyle fan I was incredibly ashamed with what he did and I'm not sure that him being parked for the Cup race might actually help Kyle in the long run.

This is going to take some critical thinking, and granted that's not a skill common amongst a lot of you, but at least give it a shot. Ignore what you know from seeing the entire thing play out in slow motion from a myriad of overhead camera angles. What Busch saw, in his Truck, was Hornaday squeeze into a hole that wasn't big enough for his Truck. Busch couldn't see Hornaday run into the slower car, all he saw was Hornaday move up the track into him, not once, but at least two or three times until he was in the wall. Now at any point Hornaday could have backed off to try to collect his own Truck and stay off Busch, but he didn't. He kept in the throttle and Busch was the only thing that kept him from hitting the wall harder than he did. At this point, Busch hasn't done anything wrong. That's right, take off your 'Busch is the Antichrist' hat for second, and you'll see that's the truth. Busch did nothing wrong, and as far as he can see at this point, Ron Hornaday just put him in the wall, through his own stupid mistake, barely a dozen laps into a race. Also bear in mind that Busch doesn't know how badly he's damaged, all he knows is that he hit the wall pretty good, and at a big fast track like Texas that aero damage is probably going to cost him a shot at the win, which is the only reason he's running the series in the first place. Now up to this point, can any of you Hornaday-lovers possibly fathom how Busch could have been upset over what transpired? How, without the benefit of slow motion camera angles, and not knowing the full story, he might be pissed off enough to react? It's not like this is the first time a driver has retaliated under caution, and I'm sure if I go back even to just last week I wouldn't see the same level of concern over what happened at the end of that race, when multiple cars were damaged in post-race shenanigans. There was no one around Busch and Hornaday on the track, it wasn't at full speed, Hornaday knew it was coming because Busch was riding his bumper for 5 seconds trying to spin him out. All Busch did was react to a situation where in his view, he was wronged, because he had done nothing wrong up until Hornaday put him in the wall. Busch has no obligation to back off, he didn't cause Hornaday to wreck, Hornaday put HIMSELF in a position to get wrecked. Busch was using the slower car as a pick, an incredibly common tactic on the track. But Hornaday decided to put his Truck into a position that was basically guaranteed to end in disaster, and he's raced these Trucks long enough to know that. It's not like that slow car came out of nowhere, he would have seen it growing closer and closer as they came up. He had time to make a different decision, and he didn't. And it cost him a shot at the title, because Kyle Busch did what he always does. You wreck him, he wrecks you, end of story. Examples: Keselowski at Bristol, Harvick at Darlington, Sadler at Bristol. If you get into him, he gets you back right away, whether he's right or wrong for doing so. Hornaday should have known this. It doesn't make what Busch did right, but it makes Hornaday look like one naive idiot for not knowing what would happen if he raced like that. In my mind, he got what was coming to him. Busch deserved to be parked, but the damage was already done, so what did it matter? Hornaday took himself out of this championship through what basically amounts to a rookie mistake. He should know better. Think of Kyle Busch like a rattlesnake. He makes enough noise for you to know he's there, and you know he's dangerous. But he doesn't just attack for no reason, he just sits there minding his own business, and he has an idea of what constitutes his own space. You DO NOT violate that space. So why on earth would you try to step over him, knowing full well that you might accidentally step on his tail or make him nervous to lash out and bite you? No, you take precautions when dealing with a rattlesnake. You take the extra second to walk around, just so you don't have to deal with that mess. And if you do, he will absolutely leave you alone. Hornaday got bit, simple as that. Kyle Busch is going to continue being that same rattlesnake, and the next idiot that thinks they can cut a corner but getting into that rattlesnakes space is going to get bit too, just like all the others. And for all of you calling for Busch to be parked, good luck with that. NASCAR would have to go back on 2 years of established precedent. And to Ron Hornaday, with all of his post-race bravado about going around looking for an ass to kick, grow the F up. 30. dirtfan9628 posted: 11.05.2011 - 3:03 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) There are better tears, than the tears of NASCAR fans when Kyle Busch rubs them the wrong way.

You've got what you deserve. 33. irony posted: 11.05.2011 - 3:54 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) What did Ron do post race? All I saw him do was talk to Kevin. At 53 years old and suffering from Grave's Disease, if he went looking for Kyle it wasn't to do him the favor of facial reconstruction. Ron wasn't going to win the title anyway, and I'm probably the only Hornaday fan around. He's been my #1 NASCAR driver since Earnhardt died, and my favorite Truck driver since the beginning. As I said the last time Ron got into one of his controversies, he is a "Saturday night, win or wreck" racer. He wins that way and loses that way. 34. New 14&88 Fan posted: 11.05.2011 - 4:04 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) #28 Watching the replay again just now, it seems both Kyle and Ron came up on Chapman so fast that if Ron had backed off he would run over him and caused a even bigger wreak.Cjs3872 explained it better than anyone I think.Now Ron definitely deserves criticism for forcing a three-wide so early but so those Kyle for hanging that close to his right-rear thus leaving himself with no room to escape.In other words both drivers are equally to blame for a mistake just about every other driver in the history of speedway racing has made. Now after being(from his point of view in the driver's seat)put in the wall twice it's perfectly understandable for Kyle to be angry and frustrated, hell I don't blame him after the bad luck he's had in the chase these last few races.But even the most diehard Kyle fan would have to agree wrecking a guy under caution is just ridiculous and uncalled for regardless how upset you are at him.There should be no argument on that. "And for all of you calling for Busch to be parked, good luck with that. NASCAR would have to go back on 2 years of established precedent." Nascar parked Robby Gordon from Pocono back in 2007 after he wrecked Ambrose under caution at the Montreal, but that was pretty much a once in a blue moon thing. 35.

Andrew posted: 11.05.2011 - 5:43 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Having watched the replay a couple times, I still stand by my initial reaction - Hornaday and Busch came up on the lapped truck so quickly that Hornaday had no other way to handle it. Has Hornaday done things to deserve this in the past? Possibly. But he's never intentionally wrecked someone *under caution* and never as blatantly as that. It's worse than what Busch did to Harvick earlier this year, and similar to what Harvick himself did at Martinsville in 2002. Busch should be parked on Sunday, no questions asked. I really feel bad for James Buescher. He and Dillon were having a fantastic battle during the last 25 laps of the race. I can't remember the last time I saw that kind of side-by-side battling at Texas; it was great. Running out of gas under caution was a horrible stroke of luck, and I say this as an Austin Dillon fan. As for Dillon himself, I thought he might get Harvick on that restart, but Harvick had all the moves tonight. If my math is right, he needs to finish 16th or better at Homestead to win the Truck championship. (That would tie him with Sauter if Sauter wins & leads the most laps, and Dillon has one more win.) He's had a great year. Here's hoping! 38. irony posted: 11.05.2011 - 6:20 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) So I guess Ron did look for Kyle - 'He's such a candy-ass. He won't stay around to get a whipping like he's supposed to get." Nothing wrong with that. Doubt he woulda actually punched Kyle. Yeah, Ron has done some stupid things. Especially in the 2008/09 Toyota All-Star Showdown. I don't think he's ever intentionally wrecked anyone though. Back in 2004 Kyle accused him of brake checking him at Darlington, and I always thought that may of been true. He and Kyle certainly have had a lot of run ins one way or another. They had a couple of minor scraps in 04 that didn't actually result in a crash. Charlotte and Michigan in 08, then Kyle gloated about beating Ron on a restart in the NW race at IRP last year. 39. irony posted: 11.05.2011 - 6:23 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Don't know why that quote is messed up, but yeah. 40.

He squeezes Hornaday into a lapped car and Hornaday gets loose. They tap the wall, getting cosmetic damage. No big deal. And all hell breaks loose. Under caution, when they're still trying to catch the leaders, Kyle completely demolished Hornaday's car. They were both contenders for the win. And Kyle says that Hornaday gave him no room. What a jerk. I have a solution: Give Hornaday 30 points to where he probably should be, and park Kyle Busch in all of NASCAR for the decade. On the bright side, Ty Dillon has a lot of talent. He got a lap down early, got it back the "right way," and caught up to finish third. Nice run. It's pretty obvious that his brother will win the championship. He just needs to finish 15th, and even then, Sauter needs to lead the most laps and win. 42. Watto posted: 11.05.2011 - 7:26 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) The Kyle Busch apologists have a lot of things to realize. First off, the initial incident was obviously caused by a number of factors. It's not an incident I'm gonna go and simply blame Kyle for. However, where Kyle becomes wrong is in what he does after the fact. You can't just chalk it up to "well that's Kyle, so you just have to accept it". The punishment didn't fit the crime. He's ran into the wall by a guy racing for the title. It was OBVIOUSLY not intentional. It was a mistake. Both trucks were easily repairable. So by destroying his truck, suddenly that's justice? If people intentionally demolished anybody who makes a mistake that results in someone getting bounced around a little, we'd have multiple intentional wrecks in every single race. Sometimes you gotta man up, realize that he's a championship contender and made a mistake, and move on without being a little bitch about it. I wouldn't expect a suspension whatsoever, because as has already been pointed out, NASCAR could care less about policing it beyond a slap on the wrist in the form of a fine and probation that can be broken with no repercussions. In the interest of the current consistency, I guess they're supposed to do nothing. In the interest of the sport as a whole, they need to get rid of this ridiculous "boys have at it" garbage and start penalizing people for cheap shots/unfair play/low blows the same way any legitimate sport would. How can NASCAR be taken seriously as a sport when they allow things like this to go on? They HAVE to draw a line in the sand to keep the "game" fair. If they don't, it just becomes a SHOW. Maybe that's all they really want... You know something's broken when you can get away with stuff on the national tour that gets you banned for years on any given local short track. Enough said about that. And anonymous, speaking of critical thinking, you might want to follow your own advice rather than posting the same stereotypical defense stance any time Kyle does something classless. And I'll tell you right now, ANYBODY on the track who does what Kyle did last night deserves to get suspended. That includes someone I root for. Everybody has biases, myself included, but this is not something to be hypocritical about. People who claim that no one would want suspensions for other drivers doing the same crime are completely full of it. And also when it comes to the whole idea that "you wreck him, he wrecks you", you might want to also say that "he wrecks himself, he wrecks you as retaliation for his own mistake". After all, he's done that a couple of times already. There are situations where Kyle's gonna get taken out in someone else's mistake on the track. The same goes for every other driver out there. The difference is that some people can man up and understand it's part of it, and others can intentionally demolish trucks because their peanut of a brain has no room for maturity. What a shame. So much talent, and such a tool. 43.

And dirtfan, when you speak of our Brad K jammies, are you speaking the same Brad K who will finish higher in points than Kyle? Who will most likely finish higher in points than Kyle ever has in just his second season, equaling Kyle's CAREER Top 5 points finishes?

Really he has no business there because he does not get points for it. Get someone else to drive the truck because Busch does not need to do this stuff when the Truck Series is in the heat of the title, this is something the Truckwhackers need to know before going to run a Truck race. That's completely uncalled for. 47. Peter posted: 11.05.2011 - 9:14 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Kyle Busch is the biggest piece of scum on god's green earth.

He is still in the garage area. If NASCAR suspended him, he would be escourted to the tunnel and told that he had to leave. By being parked, he is allowed to stay for the weekend if he wants to. I agree with the penalty even though my view is that it takes 2 to tango. 52. potatosalad48 posted: 11.05.2011 - 10:34 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Ron Hornaday had no other choice but to try and pass the #07 because Chapman was running his line and Hornaday would've run straight into the back of him otherwise. And Kyle not only turned Hornaday head on into the wall, he rode him halfway down the backstretch into the turn before doing so. Hopefully the suspension gives Kyle a better perspective on the choices he makes on and off the track. 53.

Bronco posted: 11.05.2011 - 11:13 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I'm shocked that NASCAR parked him, especially given that he's still in the running for a championship. This means that he's gonna likely drop to 12th in points after tomorrow's race assuming Jr, Gordon, Hamlin and Newman can score top 20s. After all the stunts that Burton, Edwards, Vickers, Kurt Busch, Johnson, Reutimann, JPM pulled last year and this year, how is it fair to park Busch while letting all those guys off the hook and still promoting the fight and confrontation theme that runs through NASCAR's TV broadcasts? It was a dirty and unwarranted move for sure, "Who will most likely finish higher in points than Kyle ever has in just his second season, equaling Kyle's CAREER Top 5 points finishes?" Counting our chickens before they hatch are we? Guess which driver is most vulnerable to getting bumped by Johnson for a spot in the top 5 in points? And I thought you said the chase (cha$e according to you) is a farce? Why are you then putting stock into what the chase says a top 5 points finish is? I was rooting for the #31 to win the championship after missing a race, but at the same time somewhat glad since I don't think Turner deserves a championship after dumping Sorenson. 56.

Hornaday had the quotation of the season: "If NASCAR doesn't do it, I'm going to buy Tommy Baldwin's (Cup car) and that guy will never finish another race," Hornaday said Friday night. "That's a promise. This was a yellow flag, turned when you're not prepared and your heart is not pumping and all that stuff and then you get turned directly in the fence. "So let's have at it? I can go beat his ass? He lives too close to me. So we'll see what NASCAR does.

Personally, I feel that all the incidents should be dealt with. However, NASCAR's logic seems to be that Kyle is getting dealt with a suspension before them because he's done most of the intentional wrecking. I mean, the Edwards situation was two really bad incidents (which both deserved suspensions, if you ask me), compared to Kyle having 4 off the top of my head in the last year. Apparently they let these guys get away with it until they do it enough times. Or, maybe Kyle wrecking a points contender in a different series had something to do with it. 69.

The first incident between Hornaday and Busch was too aggressive for early in the race in my opinion on the parts of BOTH drivers (but not just Hornaday like Busch seemed to think). However, it was just hard racing and not any reason to get angry. Neither car was badly damaged, and if anything Hornaday had more damage than Busch. The retaliation is what was completely inexcusable and makes Busch deserve every punishment he gets. I hope for the sport and for Busch's sake that Gibbs suspends him for the rest of the season. Maybe he'll actually learn his lesson that way. 76.

Since 2001 he has 35 top 5's, 40 top 10's and a 6.2 avg fin in 47 starts. Austin Dillon picked up his series-leading 4th runner-up finish of 2011, 3 of them coming in the last 6 races. With a 20 point lead and just 1 race left in the season, Austin only needs to finish 16th at Homestead to become the youngest champion in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series history, beating Travis Kvapil's record of 27 when he won the 2003 title. Interestingly, Austin might not even equal his top 10's from his rookie season (16, 15 this year) but still win the 2011 title; it would only equal the fewest top 10's ever by a Truck champion, Ted Musgrave's 15 in 25 races in 2005, but Austin's 10 top 5's would be the lowest. 2011 ARCA Racing Series champ Ty Dillon finishes 3rd in just his 2nd career Truck Series start. TECHNICALLY, Nelson Piquet Jr. was the highest finishing rookie in the race in 4th for his rookie-leading 5th top 5 of 2011. He also cracked the top 10 in points for the first time all season. Matt Crafton gets his 2nd top 5 in 4 races, after just 3 in the first 20 races of 2011. However, he'll finish outside of the top 5 in the standings for the first time in 4 seasons. Joey Coulter picked up his rookie-leading 12th top 10 of the season, and has a 5 point lead in the ROTY standings over 2nd place Nelson Piquet Jr. heading into the final race of the year; Cole Whitt ran top 5 all day but troubles on a restart has him back to 3rd and 10 points out. Despite 7 straight top 15 finishes, with 3 top 5's, 5 top 10's and a 7.8 avg fin over that span, Johnny Sauter's lost 25 points to Austin Dillon (1 win, 5 top 5's, 6 top 10's, 4.8 avg fin). After just 3 top 10's in the first 16 races of 2011 (18.5 avg fin), Ricky Carmichael has 4 top 10's in the last 8 races (14.6 avg fin). Miguel Paludo picked up his first top 10 in 5 races, making it 3 rookies in the top 10 for this race (not including Ty Dillon). Since re-joining Eddie Sharp Racing, Justin Lofton's only finished outside of the top 20 once in 15 races (just 2 top 10's but a 14.8 avg fin vs. 19.7 in first 9 races with Germain). Johanna Long has 4 top 20's in her last 6 Truck starts, after just 4 in her first 11. 81. 23andJoe posted: 04.14.2014 - 1:08 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) #55 owner: Mark Beaver 82.

Just a "screw you" to Kyle for what he did to Hornaday. I don't normally like seeing cup guys win in the other series but it was just perfect for Harvick to win that race. 86.

He had an average finish of 8.8 during the season and only one DNF. He would have needed to finish 14th or better in this race and he would have been the champion. This is very realistic because he only finished outside the top 15 three times during the season. Two of which were due to wrecks and the other was due to running out of gas going for the win at Texas. If he had a solid day in Phoenix, we could very well be calling James Buescher a two-time truck series champion even without winning a race. 91.
