Hey all. The big story today is Kyle Busch is parked for the weekend for his actions in the Truck race last night. Does that change anything for this race? No not really. I just hope the Cup regulars in this race now realize they shouldn’t mess with the Championship contenders in this race.

I think NASCAR got it right by parking Kyle.
