Kyle Busch revisited

| | Comments (0) |

Kyle Busch won a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series best seventh race at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday. He has won two straight Cup races and three of the past four.
Here is a look at the races he's won this year:
March 9: Atlanta Motor Speedway (first Cup win for Toyota)
April 27: Talladega Superspeedway
May 10: Darlington Raceway
June 1: Dover International Speedway
June 22: Infineon Raceway (first road course win for Busch)
July 5: Daytona International Speedway
July 12: Chicagoland Speedway
"This is just an unbelievable year and something to be really proud of and really fortunate to be involved with," said Busch, driver of the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. "To have a ll these guys on my side with Joe Gibbs and J.D. (Gibbs) and Steve (Addington, crew chief) and everybody, it's just unbelievable. You cherish them when you can get them, and definitely this year is one to cherish."
Denny Hamlin, Busch's teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing, has one win, giving Toyota eight Cup wins in its second season in the Cup Series.
Hamlin won the race at Martinsville Speedway on March 30.
But Busch has been the story of the year so far.
"This doesn't come along very often -- I never dreamed of this for myself," Busch said. "You always see it happen with somebody else and you feel good about them being able to do that. Now, that that feeling has come upon me, I know you have to stay humble and yet stay hungry, go out there and do what you can in order to survive in these races, and to survive up front and try to win. Somehow, it's paying off and it's working out. I'm just so proud of the effort."
