Kyle Busch is a great racer and holds the honor of the only racer to get into a serious accident because there was no SAFER Barrier installed then to come back and to win the championship because there was a SAFER Barriers on the race tracks. Here is a real good YouTube video that explains the man behind that barrier and how it came to be. So you will be better armed when Rick goes off on his SAFER Barrier tangents… Great Video with Dr Sicking and the Safer Barrier
Amazing how we now have the technology to go from virtually zero to 350MPH and back to zero in relative safety in less that 15 seconds and live to tell about it. Â The human body and technology is an amazing combination!
Kyle Bush – Is a Las Vegas boy who grew up driving anything that had wheels.  And maybe other things… He was known as the bad boy of NASCAR.  Now he has a champion trophy to say he is The Offical Bad Boy of NASCAR!  From near career ending injury to Champions Circle in one spectacular season.  Amazing
