Kyle busch (nascar) vs. tony schumacher (nhra)?

Question

for those who don't know, tony schumacher is an nhra top fuel dragster driver who has been tearing it up this year. like busch, schumacher has already clinched the number one spot in the playoffs and is enjoying a dream season. he has won the last six top-fuel events in a row and 11 of the 18 races so far this year. on tuesday, busch and schumacher were the first to race at the new zmax dragway recently completed at lowe's motor speedway in concord, where the nhra nationals will be held for the first time september 11th-14th.

the two raced in a "best-of-three" format running in identically prepared toyota camry pace cars. one of them won the first race and took the second by default when the other "red-lighted." then the president of lowe's motor speedway called an audible, changing the rules and making the event a single heat "winner-take-all."

who do you think won that last race? was it the same driver who won the first two?

for those who saw it and already know, let those who didn't see it guess please...

and no fair looking it up...

quote of the day: schumacher joking afterwards, "i already don't like him."

second best quote: busch saying he was tempted "to cross the center line and give him a little tap."

;-)

additional question: are any of you going to the nhra nationals at lowe's?

Answer 1

Kyle trees Sarge? Sounds like a setup. Might sell a couple of tickets, I'd take a shot at him and I've had a stroke.

Answer 2

I suppose Kyle can win in any kind of racing.

Answer 3

If it has wheels, Kyle will win more often than not.  He is so much fun to watch, almost as much fun as watching the bashers get pissed when he wins.

Answer 4

HMMM- Kyle looks confident sitting in the SARGES  car.

Answer 5

I'm not giving it away this time...

but I have to LMAO at fluffy's answer. The last part is funny.

Answer 6

*scratches head*

I swore I answered this question last night!!!

So did Bestanswer, we were the only two who did. I thought!

NHRA scares me, those cars explode. Maybe I'll have to watch a few to get over the fear. (eek!)

Answer 7

That's pretty cool.  I like it when drivers from different racing disciplines put on a exhibition like that.  

In Tony's defense, the cars they used were much more similar to what Kyle's used to driving.  Put 'em in top fuel dragsters and let's see what happens.  :  )

Answer 8

WOW.... so it just really don't matter what he's in, he can win lol.... and i love tony.... i so wish they could do something with motogp hat would be cool to see kyle get his knee down lol

Answer 9

Well i guess that just shows kyle can win at anything.... i actually like schumacher a lot although i enjoy the funny cars more! And i desperately wish i was going to the nhra nationals at lowes!!!

Answer 10

that's crazy. Whatever motivation Kyle has, he has an overflow of determination to win. Now it really makes me wonder how he would do in the IRL. I wonder how long his agression will last before he becomes complacent. I'm glad we get to witness Kyles performances. This is definitely what racing is all about. Kyle Busch is fast becoming the new face of NASCAR. ...just in time for Halloween.
