Eight Wins Helps Busch Lead the Points

Did you hear the crowd after Kyle Busch won Sunday's race? There seemed to be more people cheering for him than cheering against him.
Busch won Sunday at Watkins Glen to give him his eighth victory of the season. That leads everyone in NASCAR. Teammate Tony Stewart came in second for the second week in a row. You'd have to think that sooner or later Stewart is going to come across the line in first.
That big wreck toward the end of the race was amazing. I've never seen one that big on these type of tracks. But I guess that's what happens when two cars fight for the same piece of the track.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. might not of had many nice things to say about his crew chief. While the announcers kept saying that Junior needed to come down pit road and get some gasoline, Junior kept going around the track. When the caution came out, it was too late for Junior to get the strategy he needed to win the race or at least have a top 10 finish.
This led him to fall down in the points standing instead of being in second. Maybe he can rebound back to the top with another win at Michigan which is where the Sprint Cup Series heads next Sunday.
