NHRA Death

Scott Kalitta
Febuary 18, 1962 - June 21, 2008
Kalitta died in a fiery accident in Top Fuel finals qualifying at the Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ, when his parachute did not come out, but flames did. The car did not stop until it hit the wall at the end of the track when the car literally exploded. Scott Kalitta was 46 years old. He is survived by wife Kathy, sons Corey, age 14 and Colin age 8, as well as father and NHRA legend Connie, and fellow Top Fuel racer and championship contender cousin Doug. Scott Kalitta will surely be missed by his family, fellow drivers, owners, pit crews, fans, and NHRA.

NASCAR 09

I got NASCAR 09 as soon as it came out. Now I am rating it.
This game is in my opinion the best one made. It is very challenging, yet exciting. With Jeff Gordon leading you through the game it is easier than it looks. My Rating: 10 out of 10.

Kyle Busch

I believe I am the only one who has noticed this. In fact, NASCAR.com hasn't even noticed this. In every race Kyle Busch has won in the Sprint Cup Series, he has had a different paint scheme and sponsor.
Kyle Busch's wins are:
Kobalt Tools 500 (Atlanta) Sponsor: Snickers
Aaron's 499 (Talladega) Sponsor: M&M's Most Colorful Fan
Dodge Challenger 500 (Darlington) Sponsor: Indiana Jones
Best Buy 400 (Dover) Sponsor: Combos
Toyota/Save Mart 350 (Infineon) Sponsor: M&M's

I have found this interesting.
