When it comes to favorite drivers, if I had to choose between Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards, I would choose Carl Edwards. If I wanted to sound juvenile, and someone asked me to put my favorite NASCAR drivers in favoritism order….it would be Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, then Kyle Busch. And let me also say that my favoritism list does not go in the order of which NASCAR driver I would sleep with first, that’s a completely other list.

Now that I’m done being juvenile…how bout that Bristol race?

I personally did not watch the entire thing. My little cousin wanted me to take her to a Jonas Brothers concert. Yeah, I said Jonas Brothers. I did however, wear a old school Dale Jr. #8 Budweiser hat to the race because I didn’t feel like doing my hair, and I guarantee you…I was the only one wearing NASCAR gear in that sold our arena of screaming little girls.

By the time I got in my car to leave the concert, I turned on my Sirius Satellite Radio and the screen rolled across the top 5 finishers. Ugh!

Luckily for me, they played it again today…you know, for all the NASCAR fans that went to the Jonas Brothers concert, since I know there’s a lot of you out there!

So the recap for you Jonas Brothers fans (I hope you all know at this point, I’m totally joking!) Busch lead 415 consecutive lapsBristol Motor Speedway, the first laps were the first moments of the what is now Busch vs. Edwards rivalry as they were already bumping and pushing along the way. Then at the end, the same situation happened and Edwards got away with the win. After Edwards’ victory, he started to do his cool down lap and who comes out of nowhere and bumps his car…you guessed it…diaper baby Busch.

“It’s one of those deals where I couldn’t get by him, I couldn’t get by him, and I just had to ask myself, ‘Would he do that to me?’ ” Edwards said after doing his trademark backflip off the car in Victory Lane. “And he has before, so that’s the way it goes.”

I agree with Edwards, if Kyle Busch had the opportunity, he would have probably wrecked someone else for the win, plus someone needs to tell diaper baby Busch that it’s called RACING. I havn’t watched NASCAR long, but what I have seen from the old school style of racing…I like the rough and tumble style of racing, the type of racing that Edwards and Busch did Saturday night. It’s the type of entertainment NASCAR needs these days to keep people interested.

Denny Hamlin is the same way as Kyle Busch, when things do not turn out the way they want it to, their interviews end up being negative, like a “Oh we got second place, we should have got first…”

For the sake of sounding valley girl, LIKE OMG! YOU WON SECOND, YOU ARE A FRIGGIN’ MILLIONARE what’s the problem? Not to mention, the negativeness of a second place finish must lift the spirits of the crew members and the people that bust their butt for you and you are whining about a second place finish.

Watch Carl Edwards when he does interviews with media, if he’s wearing sunglasses, he does the respectful thing and pulls them up on his head when he talks to them. I’m a woman, and body language like that is very commendable.

Maybe it’s just my demeanor of being happy for what I have in life, and maybe that principal does not apply to NASCAR, but it just proves my point that I am a fan of Kyle Busch when he is in a race car, once he gets out of the race car and starts talking…he’s the douche bag I loved to hate last season.
