As we close out the year, it’s time to bathe in the warm glow of
nostalgia and look back at some of the best races of the season. We continue with a midsummer classic, the Fourth of July race at Daytona. This one was a fine race from beginning to end, and a good way to close out Independence Day. That is, unless your name happened to be Kyle Busch.

Here’s the whole race recap; you can kick back and watch all 13 minutes, or you can skip right to the good stuff around nine minutes in. This race, you’ll recall, was the one where Kyle Busch decided to get a little froggy with Tony Stewart, and, well … it didn’t go so well.

As it turned out, this race would have dire consequences for Kyle. Had he just allowed Stewart to pass, he would have cruised easily into the Chase, and would have been ranked right at the top going into the Chase. But he ended up finishing far back in the field, and missed the Chase by a mere eight points. And unfortunately for Kyle, not a whole lot of people were too sorry about that.
