I’m guessing that mine wasn’t the only living room in America that erupted into cheers during the final lap of the 4th of July’s Sprint Cup race. Still and all, I was relieved to see Kyle Busch able to walk in a straight line after being slammed into the wall by race winner Tony Stewart, flung onto the windshield of Kasey Kahne, and T-boned by Joey Logano–a violent sequence of events that transformed his until-then dominant racecar into a heap of smouldering junk. And after all that, he was still able to do his usual post-wreck routine of storming off the track without speaking to anyone–at least until he was wrestled off to the infield medical center by a gang of NASCAR officials. In that last-lap pandemonium, I think I even caught a glimmer of the old-school Tony Stewart, prior to the whole I’m-a-nice-guy-now schtick, the one who didn’t take crap from punks and would sooner put you in the fence than look at you. All told, it was a pretty incredible race. It was cool to see Richard Petty’s vintage STP Pontiac out on the track, too! More pics below the jump, courtesy of Getty Images.
