Winning is the only way for Kyle Busch

(via Yahoo! Sports) · June 21, 2009 · 12 PM

Kyle Busch's competitive spirit has won him 11 of the past 51 NASCAR Sprint Cup races.

But it's also the reason why he has six finishes of 22nd or worse this season and only one between sixth and 10th. His refusal to settle for anything less than first may have given him a series-best three Cup wins this season, but also the reason he sits in ninth place — just 53 points in front of David Reutimann in 13th.

“That’s what we talked about this week in the meeting – we’re either winning races or finishing 17th,” said Busch crew chief Steve Addington. “That’s not the way we need to be. We need to be a solid, consistent top-five car every week.”
