Best Bush at Bristol!

 

I am soooo sorry about that. Wrong picture and caption. What I meant was...

 

 

 

Busch Best at Bristol!

 

 

Kyle Busch set a new track record during qualifying for Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Actually the next three qualifiers also turned laps that were under the old record. On Sunday, the combination of cool weather and a good tire compound from Goodyear should mean some fast racing. Speaking of weather, the forecast for Bristol calls for a chance of rain on Sunday afternoon. That is the chance you take when you schedule a race in March in the Appalachian Mountains.

 

I have a little music history lesson for you today concerning Bristol, TN. Many historians consider Bristol to be the birthplace of Country music. The Carter family, considered to be the first family of Country music, lived in the hills surrounding Bristol. This is the same Carter family that would go on to be Johnny Cash's in-laws. Anyway, there was a primitive recording studio in Bristol, one of the first in the nation outside of New York and L.A., and the few times a year that the Carter's would come to town to puchase supplies for making moonshine, they would bring their instruments and record a few songs. Thus the birth of Country music. The studio is now a museum. Don't ask me why I know this stuff, I just do and thought I would pass on my vast knowledge to you. Now back to NASCAR.

It was something of a miracle that Kyle Busch was able to turn such a fast lap considering his medical condition.

As you can see from his expression, Kyle was suffering as he sat in his car waiting to run his lap. He had a wicked case of hemorrhoids. After turning his fast lap, a hidden camera caught Kyle's reaction.

This wasn't his reaction for winning the pole. This was his reaction for accidentally grabbing the tube of Icy Hot instead of the tube of Preparation H.

 

This is such a nice St. Patrick's Day photo of the Busch brothers and their wives. Kyle and Kurt are obviously happy about having these surgically enhanced women in their lives. Who wouldnt be?

 It appears that the girls really love their men. Observe how they have their arms wrapped around them. Looks are deceiving. What you can't see is the fact that the girls are actually checking the guys wallets to make sure that they are full. I mean really. Have you ever looked closely and the Busch brothers. When their wives tell them they need to put a bag on their heads they ain't talkin about condoms. They mean it. "Put a bag on your butt ugly heads."
