Another good (All-Star) race is in the can. Nice show put on by the Busch Brothers. Regardless of the result, race in race out, Kyle is the one to watch. The IRL’s tweaking of the rules makes Nascar’s mucking with the rules seem amateurish. It took me years to figure out the Indy 500 qualifying […]
