Rowdy Holmes takes His last bow…
Naturally, like everyone, I was shocked when
hearing the news whilst listening to the Indianapolis Star’s Sports section
late last night via my NFB Newsline for The Blind’s telephone service.
Actually had to go back and restart article
twice, to make sure I was hearing that Kyle Busch had died suddenly. Having
gone to hospital Thursday morning with a serious illness. Before dying at age
41 and leaving behind His wife Samanta, and their two children Brexton and
Lennix.
Cannot say I was a fan of His, but did
recognize His talent, since at one point of His NASCAR career, He was a force
to be reckoned with! Doing the unthinkable by routinely ding the “Double”, i.e.;
winning what’s now known as O’Riley’s Auto Parts series and NASCAR cup. Along
with being the only driver to sweep a NASCAR weekend, i.e.; Trucks, Grand
National and Cup! Which Kyle did twice; both at Bristol in 2010 and 2017.
The greatest Cup wins of Kyle Busch’s storied NASCAR career
As I know there was a Kyle Busch Motorsports
team for many years, which He dominated Trucks in. And His overall
accomplishments as a driver are quite impressive.
Having won the 2009 Nationwide series and 2015
and 2019 Cup championships. Along with having the most all-time career wins for
the combined three series, i.e.; Trucks, Grand National and Cup with an
eyewatering 234! Not to mention the most O’riley’s Auto Parts win with 102 and
Craftsman Trucks with 69, Damn!
His 63 Cup wins currently ranks Him ninth
overall for career wins, with the only major race missing from His resume being
the Daytona 500. Making it ironic that He won this year’s pole for that race…
While I believe He raced once in the 24 Hours
of Daytona? But what I remember most about Kyle, is racing that No. 18 M&M’s
car for Joe Gibbs Racing…
