If you wait long enough anything can happen!

Billy can finally scratch this wish off his list as Kyle Busch was able to pass Todd Bodine in a quarter-mile ending race and his team mate Aric Almirola added insult to injury by also passing Todd in the same stretch of track.

Sports are adrenalin fed activities that walk along a narrow edge between success and failure, no matter the sport you compete in. Success always breeds confidence and confidence creates an athlete who holds nothing back and puts it all on the line every time. There’s something in the statement that race car drivers are athletes who constantly walk the line between confident success and sheepish failure. The feeling of confidence a NASCAR competitor feels after having been through the fire of the season and come out the other side on fire, must be exhilarating and something that fills you with …read more
