Kyle BuschKyle Busch carried his hot start to the season into his hometown Friday, winning the pole at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Busch ran a fast lap of 182.352 mph in his Toyota Camry to take the top starting spot for Sunday’s race. The 22-year-old is having a fabulous start to the season — he hasn’t finished lower than fourth in six races spanning three series — and returned to Las Vegas this week as the Sprint Cup Series points leader.

It’s the first time in his career that Busch has been on top of the standings, and he’s also leading the Truck Series standings. He’s second to Tony Stewart, his teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing, in the Nationwide Series standings.

    This young man is an Idiot on and off the track. He will either kill himself or someone in the end………………

    Hot headed and out of control. If he can knock the log off his shoulder he may be able to see better and then put some tape on his mouth. His brother and he are two pigs in a poke.

    I’d hate to see their parents…………….

    All in All, I will give him the shake down. He can drive a car……..while he killing and wrecking the field…….
