Who is the most exciting driver in Sprint Cup?

Who is the most exciting driver in Sprint Cup? One of my friends in the Sun newsroom thinks that Kyle Busch fits that title. And I have to agree. Any driver who likes his car a little on the loose side, and who can put his car anywhere on the track and make it stick, and who races every lap as if it was the last one of the race is a driver who deserves our attention. He drives like a presidential candidate who’s down in the polls and has one shot left at winning that final primary.

Does Kyle have a lot to prove? I’m sure there is a side of him that wants to show Rick Hendrick he made a mistake by letting him go. I’m sure there is a side of him that wants to show Dale Junior he can beat him on the track. I’m also sure there is a side of him that wants to win a championship before his brother has a chance to win another.

You may not like Kyle. It may be your mission in life as a fan to root against him every Sunday. You may never buy another bag of M&Ms. But you have to admit that Kyle is extremely talented and is exhilarating to watch. I wish more drove like he does.
