KYLE BUSCH

Guest · 2008-11-03T07:41:22Z

Don't know if anyone caught this on Saturday after the Nationwide Race at Texas, but like him or not, this was a CLASS ACT.........FORT WORTH, Tex. - Statistically, Kyle Busch is moving into rarified air, and on Saturday his generosity went there, too.With defending NASCAR Nationwide Series champion Carl Edwards chasing him to the finish line in the 200-lap, 300-mile O'Reilly Challenge at Texas Motor Speedway, Busch won his 10th series race of 2008, tying Sam Ard's 1983 series record for wins in a season.Moments after climbing from his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, Busch announced his intention to donate $100,000 to Ard, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and accompanying financial difficulties."Sam Ard is one of the pioneers of this sport," Busch said. "To be tied with him is very special. We're going to be sending $100,000 his way to help him out. Hopefully, that'll help put a smile on his face."The win was the 21st of Busch's career, tying him for 10th on the all-time list with Dale Earnhardt and Harry Gant. It also was Busch's 21st victory this year in NASCAR's top three series combined. He has eight Sprint Cup wins along with three in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.Busch also doubled up on his Nationwide win at Texas in April to become the first driver to sweep both races at the speedway in the same year.

It is not so much dumb calls.Watch the car, that team cannot keep up with the track and imo that has a lot to do with Dale Jr.

Good move. Maybe Harvick donating that van to Sam Ard last week has started a trend.

In another era Ard would have been a big Cup star with the way he dominated in that Thomas Brothers Country Hams 00.
