Boris Said was ticked, Scott Pruett didn't win again, and Kyle Busch won his third Nationwide Series race in a row Sunday in Mexico City.In the third race at the Mexico City road course, Busch scored a win after passing Pruett and keeping second-place Marcos Ambrose at bay in the closing laps. The Corona Mexico 200 win was Busch's 14th career in the Nationwide Series.
Pruett looked to be in great shape to take his first-career Nationwide Series race until his tires started to fade after leading 36 laps in the 80 lap event. Busch threatened over his in-car radio to move Pruett out of the way in a very similar fashion to one year ago when Juan Pablo Montoya wrecked Pruett in turn one en route to victory.
Autodromos Hermanos Rodriguez again put another stellar show for the Nationwide Series, just as the track has for the past two seasons. NASCAR announced this weekend that it was highly likely that the series would renew its contract with the venue in 2009.
As much as I'm not for for NASCAR moving the Sprint Cup Series to international markets for points-paying events, I would be a big time fan of seeing a few more quality road courses on the yearly schedule.
To me, Sunday's race was pure fun all the way through as drivers beat and banged through the field all day long. Seeing cars spin without a caution makes things awful interesting, as well.
I say bring on the road courses, NASCAR. Two just isn't enough in the Sprint Cup.
