NNS - Phoenix Int'l Speedway - Bashas’ Supermarkets 200

Jess

RESULTS
1. Kyle Busch
9. David

This felt like a really long race even though it wasn't...maybe it's that east coast, up until 1AM when you're exhausted after a long week of college thing! Phoenix is always pretty intense because it feels like a short track so the nerves were high, too.

David ran around in the top 15 all night but seemed to be struggling a little bit. ESPN's coverage is rarely any good so we didn't hear much about anyone running behind third (unless, of course, you drive for Rusty Wallace). It was cool to see Kyle Busch win again because he's so fun to watch celebrating with his guys and doing burnouts behind drivers standing on pit road doing interviews. I was happy that David got an interview! He said it was the worst car he's driven all season but to finish ninth with it wasn't bad.

He did drop two spots to fifth in the standings - that shows how tight this championship run is when you can finish in the top ten and drop. He'll go get 'em again this week at Mexico...just don't drink the water. Or walk around the city. No, that is a dog and not a deformed rat. Uhg. I hate Mexico City.
