Kyle Busch was on fire in 2008. He was winning in all three NASCAR series: Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Craftsman Truck. I just felt that when he unloaded his truck at Kentucky in July 2008 that he was going to win.
He qualified second and took the lead on the start. He lead 43 of the first 49 laps and was looking like he was going to cruise.
And then he had to make a unscheduled pitstop. Kyle had to go to the back of the pack but immediately whizzed by most of the field.
Trouble struck again. Busch got caught up in a wreck with 30 laps to go and was forced pit again.
Kyle only made it back to sixth. His wrecked truck was still better than probably all but the winner.

The winner? Johnny Benson Jr.
