Kyle Busch can't finish the Monster

Kyle Busch readily admits Dover International Speedway, otherwise known as the Monster Mile, scares him. At least it did. His first Cup race at Dover in 2005, Busch overcame his fear and finished second.
He has three top-five finishes in five career Cup races at Dover. But his last race there was far from successful.
He hit the wall early in the race and was two laps down to the race leaders throughout. Still, he finished an admirable 17th in a damaged car.
"We've been fast at Dover and had great runs, but we've never been able to figure it out in the end," said Busch, driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "Finding the right balance has been difficult and we were either the best car or close to it, but we've gotten beaten at the end. How to be there at the end is the main thing we need to figure out."
Busch enters Sunday's NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Dover fourth in the Chase standings. He's much better off than last year in the Chase. He entered the Dover race, the second race of the Chase, dead last in 10th place.
But Dover presents problems for Busch and his team.
"We had some problems that were self-inflicted, so I think that we have fixed them," Busch said. "It's always been a good place for me so we hope to get back to our good-running ways."
Busch's team is bringing the same car it raced at Phoenix International Raceway to Dover. That car was seventh in the Phoenix race. Busch said he expects Martin Truex Jr., Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman to be tough to beat at Dover. Truex won the June race at Dover.
"Last time at Dover, Martin Truex Jr, was the class of the field and I think he will be again," Busch said. "You always have to look out for Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman at Dover as well. They all seem to have that place figured out."
