Gordon Tips Hat To Busch, The New ‘Wonder Boy’

Filed under Caught in the Catchfence™, Press Releases

After he took the checkered flag in Sunday’s Subway 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup event, one of the first things Jeff Gordon shouted when he keyed his radio was “we beat Kyle Busch!”

That tip of the hat – in the middle of celebrating his first win in nearly two years – showed Gordon’s respect for the kind of domination Busch has been laying on the competition lately.

Gordon’s win Sunday broke a personal 66-race victory drought and prevented Busch from sweeping the weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. A strong second in the Cup event Sunday, Busch won the Camping World Truck Series race at PIR Friday night and followed it up with a stunning Nationwide win Saturday in which he led every one of the 200 laps. - Full Story by John Close presented by CloseFinishes.com
