Kurt Busch: Season
built 606 days ago
At the beggining of the season, Miller Lite issued a challenge to Budweiser, they bet Budweiser that Miller Lite driver Kurt Busch will finish ahead of Budweiser driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the final 2006 Nextel Cup Series point standings. The losing sponsor must change the paint scheme on its car to match the winning brand’s car for one Nextel Cup Series points-paying race next year.

Kurt Busch seemed to make a smooth transition into the seat left vacant by Rusty Wallace last season. Questions surrounding whether the Busch/Penske Project would be a potent pairing or self-destruct surfaced midway through the year. As is usually the case when the media runs with a story, the end result was anticlimactic.

Busch was below legal alcohol limit: Nextel Cup champion driver Kurt Busch had a 0.017 blood-alcohol level on a preliminary sobriety test, far below the state's impairment limit, Maricopa County sheriff's office said Tuesday. Busch was detained Friday on suspicion of drunken driving and cited for reckless driving after a confrontation with Maricopa County deputies. He was suspended by Roush Racing for the rest of the season. Maricopa County sheriff's spokesman Lt. Paul Chagolla said the preliminary test is not admissible in court, but is designed to help indicate the presence of alcohol. The legal limit in Arizona is 0.08. Chagolla said deputies tried to administer an official alcohol breath test but the machine malfunctioned. None of the six signs that would indicate impairment during another test were present either.

After missing the Chase in 2006, Kurt Busch made the cut in 2007, finishing 7th in points, with a total of 17 Cup wins in his career. Having crew chief Pat Tryson in the box for a second season should bring stability to the team in 2008.
