Kyle "Rowdy" Busch came to Grand Rapids with his friend and hometown boy Johnny Benson for what was celebrated as the "Rowdy Busch 125."

I've never been a big fan of Johnny since my ex brought my daughter to meet him and had a less than memorable experience... I've been completely mixed on Kyle, Always thought he had amazing talent, but then like at Texas last year in the trucks where he got into Ron Hornaday who was running for the championship. I remember Dover years ago in the NW series wher… Continue

Last year RCR ran strong in virtually every venue with at least 2 of the 3 cars contending at the front every race.

Last year Clint made a run for the championship up till the final 2 races. This year its Burton's turn, as well Clint is close behind in 5th and kevin is in 6th… Continue

When Jack Sprague (my home town Boii) signed with KHI last year I was so excited... I know a very good friend of his wife, one of my other friends step brothers race against the other Spragues at Short Tracks in West Michigan.

Things went ok it seemed to me, he kept getting caught up in wrecks which… Continue
