DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Kyle
Busch twice appeared destined to destroy his race car, and twice used
breathtaking saves to keep on running around Daytona International
Speedway.
He
probably shouldn't have been in position to race with the leaders. Yet
there he was, bearing down on the finish line with a shot at winning
Saturday night's exhibition Budweiser Shootout, and with a slingshot
pass on the outside of defending NASCAR champion Tony Stewart, Busch
pulled off a miraculous win in the first event of 2012.
Not too shabby of a start to the season.
NASCAR
has every right to be giddy about Sunday's season-opening Daytona 500, a
pivotal race in sparking interest at the start of a very long season. A
rain-shortened event in 2009 set the tone for a rocky year, and two
lengthy delays to fix a pesky pothole in the track surface impacted the
2010 season.
