The grass is always greener

I wonder if Kurt Busch now regrets his decision to move to Penske Racing after spending his first five full seasons in the Cup Series with Roush Racing.

While driving the No. 97 Ford for team owner Jack Roush, Busch averaged one victory every 13 races and won the 2004 series championship.

In his first 79 races in the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge, Busch is averaging a victory every 26 races.

Busch, who has won at least one race every season since 2002, is winless in his past 20 starts and is 15th in points heading into Saturday’s race at Phoenix International Raceway.

    Dodge in general sucks, except maybe the 12. It's never a good idea to go there! But I don't think Kurt could get his old job back, even if he wanted it. The revenge of Roush rules!!

    Nope, the 12 sucks also!
