After last week’s Gluckometer ratings, which had Kyle Busch ranked No. 1 – with all boos – Busch’s lovely bride, Samantha, questioned the Gluckometer’s accuracy.
Does Kyle Busch Really Get All Boos? Not At Texas Motor Speedway
She tweeted:
@samantha_busch: time 4 a hearin check up, there were cheers!Could it be? Could the Gluckometer have messed up?
Well, sure. It’s possible. After all, it’s just a combination of my ears and a handheld decibel meter that probably isn’t the most scientific tool.
Still, I’m pretty sure the Martinsville fans booed the crap out of Kyle Busch. But Samantha’s tweet certainly made me pay more attention to the Texas fans to ensure I was giving an accurate reading.
Sure enough, Busch didn’t get all boos at Texas. He just got mostly boos.
So, score one for Sam (who has always been nice to SB Nation) – and also for Tony Stewart, who got the most noise of any driver in the Lone Star State.
Here are the complete rankings for this week:
| Driver | dB | Type of Noise | Explanation | |||
| 1 | Tony Stewart | 93.8 | Cheers | Texans love tell-it-like-it-is driver | ||
| 2 | Kyle Busch | 92.9 | Mostly boos | My hearing checkup is scheduled | ||
