Obviously Kyle Bush is doing very well in his various NASCAR endeavors and he is a most talented driver. Rest assured though he is not the fit for F1. Allmendinger and Speed (been there) are the only proper Cup candiadtes to even bother consider an F1 move and Speed (although by all rights relatively successful in his F1 stint) had enough and wouldn’t return to another also ran team. Although Kyle has karting experience his raise to prominance was through Legends cars and late models. A big stretch to F1. Jeff Gordon in his early days was a prime candidate for the switch, but wisely saw the $ potential and longevity in NASCAR. NASCAR fans may not be too keen on Scott Speed the person, but rest assured his adaptation from open wheel to tin tops is progressing rapidly and for real.

I too have heard the scuttlebutt of Kyle Busch being on a short list of a F1 team. Little advise for ya Kyle. Not even you can overcome the engineering of a lousy F1 car, and if you are not driving a Ferrari or McLaren your winning will be almost non-existant. You, like Gordon have it made in NASCAR. Hope you realize it.

Thanks for answering my question about the restart–but part of it is still a puzzle. When we see the green flag wave, is that typically because the flagman sees that the leader punched the throttle (somewhere between the red lines?)

Some of these questions would be moot if the rulebook wasn’t more secret than nuclear launch codes!
