I have known Kyle Busch since 2002 when he was 18 Racing ASA this guy is unstoppable. Take a look at the autograph I have up him racing ASA.
Since going to victory lane in the season-opening exhibition event, the Budweiser Shootout, Busch has gone winless in Sprint Cup points-paying races so far in 2012 with a pair of Top Fives and three Top 10s to his credit in the season's first eight races.
"It just hasn't quite gone the way that we had hoped for yet," Busch said of his slow start via satellite interview. "But we've had some good runs that we've been excited about."
"You know," Busch elaborated, "Daytona's always kind of a **** shoot. Phoenix, we led a lot of laps and ran up front and finished sixth in the final rundown. California, we ran up front, led a lot of laps and finished second there."
"There's been some positives," Busch continued, "but there definitely hasn't been the type of excitement or the type of racing that we've been able to see in the No. 18 team in years past where we've been up front, leading a lot of laps and dominating."
But if there's hope to be had for Busch, it comes this weekend at Richmond, a track where Wild Thing has won three times, including a year ago.
"This weekend's race is a big race for us," Busch said of Saturday night's 400-mile event. "Richmond is one of the better tracks we come to on the circuit that we've had a lot of success at." http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...around-at-richmond-despite-slow-start-in-2012
