Another competitor near the end of a NASCAR Cup race spun Kyle Busch. Busch had to restart near the end of the lead lap cars with only a handful of laps remaining. He was vocally upset over his radio. This is a story that we have seen and heard more than once.

But this time the other competitor was Jeff Burton.

That’s right, Jeff Burton.

Last week’s NASCAR Cup race at Talladega put up some record-setting statistics. Lead changes and number of leaders for a single event now have new heights to match. It was impressive and enjoyable. But it can’t be considered a norm.

Fast forward to the next weekend and the circuit rolls into its first of two annual Richmond weekends. The Virginia three-quarter mile oval is of exceptional design and usually provides great racing. Backing it up to Talladega puts it in a nice spot.

The biggest track and one of the shortest tracks scheduled consecutively provides teams with available equipment and fans with racing variety. The contrasting speedways add some spice often sought in the world of downforce facilities.

Remember that time Kyle Busch said, "We're ten hours from the f$#%ing fun park and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much f$#%ing fun we'll need plastic surgeory to remove our smiles. You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of you're a##holes! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose!"

OK, I don't remember him saying that either. It's a reasonable facsimile of a quote from the movie Vacation. But it sure seems like the kind of thing Kyle would say. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane, LOL Race Pics.

This photo of Kyle Busch was taken at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where Kyle has the power to summon storm clouds on command when the mood strikes him so.

We knew it! Thanks, LOLnascar.
