Sure it’s NASCAR’s off season and things are supposed to be quiet but let’s not forget. 2011 did not end quietly. Not by a long shot. There were deals in the works, a championship crew chief without a job, apologies to be made, and sponsors to keep happy.

Kyle Busch said earlier this weekend in the media center that he’s never won an inaugural race. Well, he has now. He will forever in his career be the “Winner of the Inaugural Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway”. He led the most laps (125), and from early on it was obvious he was the car to beat. he This is his third victory in 2011 and his 11th top-10 finish. The victory also puts Busch in the series points lead by four over Carl Edwards.
