Kyle Busch

We are hearing that Kyle Busch a new contract with Gibbs Racing for 2010 and beyond.

Dave Rogers, the man who is the crew chief keeping Busch winning on the Sprint Cup tour.

Busch is easily the most talented driver in stock car racing today, and possibly comparable to the top talents in all of motorsports. However he still does not have a championship trophy, despite winning more Cup races than anyone else but Jimmie Johnson the past two years.

Rogers can likely remedy that, as an 11-year veteran with the Gibbs team, and an engineer by trade (Clarkson College, in upstate New York), and insists he can meet the challenge.
