    Crown Royal 400 Tickets ? Kyle Busch Seeks First Win of 2010 NASCAR Season

    By tom petty | September 3, 2010

    Last May, Kyle Busch celebrated his 24th birthday in style by winning the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series races at Richmond International Raceway, making a late surge in the Crown Royal 400 and coming away with his third win of the 2009 Sprint Cup season. Busch battled to the wire with Tony Stewart at last year’s Crown Royal 400 and ultimately brought home the victory, but can he do it again this year?

    Busch has had a relatively quiet 2010 so far, finishing in the middle of the pack for most of this year’s Cup Series races. The Joe Gibbs Racing extraordinaire has had only a lukewarm year so far in his No. 18 stock car, placing 14th at Daytona, 6th at Fontana, 15th at Las Vegas, 25th at Atlanta, 9th at Bristol and 22nd at Martinsville. His slow start to the ‘10 season has perhaps been discouraging for the explosive driver, but he’ll be out to reclaim the throne on May 1, when this year’s Crown Royal 400 comes plowing through Richmond.

    So far this year, nationwide NASCAR news has focused on one specific driver more than any others: Jimmie Johnson. The reigning Sprint Cup Series champion is out to seek his fifth consecutive series championship, and he’s already ahead on the standings chart after dominating the month of March with early wins at Fontana, Las Vegas and Bristol (as of March 29).

    While Johnson is currently in first place in Cup Series standings, he’s still in a close race with the other Top 12 drivers, which include (in descending order) Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Paul Menard and Brian Vickers. Kyle Busch is currently sitting down the stretch at No. 16, but perhaps all Busch needs is someone or something to light a fire underneath him to gain back footing on the Sprint Cup circuit.

    For now, Kyle Busch will continue to keep his focus locked in on the Crown Royal 400 at Richmond on May 1, and the young driver will attempt a comeback to jet into the front of the pack after a tumultuous start to the 2010 season. Busch has been a main seller of <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://www.stubhub.com/crown-royal-400-tickets/”>Crown Royal 400 tickets</a> since 2005, when he began racing Sprint Cup courses on a regular basis, and he’ll continue to draw NASCAR fans to the racetrack in Richmond this May when he starts his engine at the upcoming Crown Royal 400.

    As the reigning champion of the 2009 Crown Royal 400, Kyle Busch has to step up his game if he wants to make an impact on this year’s Richmond race. No. 18 has yet to place in the Top Five at any race this season, but with the Crown Royal 400 coming into focus, this could all change and momentum could swing in Busch’s favor for the next part of the NASCAR schedule, which will see races in Phoenix, Texas and Talladega before cruising into Richmond.
