The Kyle Busch show

Kyle Busch wins the Lifelock.com 400, sweeping the weekend at Chicago.

Busch passed Jimmie Johnson on the restart with two laps to go. The last two laps of the race were exciting and the battle for the lead was a good one. After the race, Johnson was upset with himself for letting Busch get around him.

TNT's coverage

I was on NASCAR.com during the race using TNT's Race Buddy feature. There were almost 300 people logged on talking and the one thing everyone talked about was the poor job that TNT is doing.

Everyone was complaining about how many commercials they have. And boy do they have a lot.

It is not only the commercials, but they never break back in to show you the action. When FOX does the races, they break in on the commercial to show whats goin on. TNT will not even delay going to a commercial to show a battle for the lead.

I think that TNT is just in this game for the money. They pimp themselves to whom ever they can for as much money as they can.

I don't think they care about the racing they just want the money and attention to pimp their other shows.

I think announcers are ok, they just need to get their act together. They are pissing a lot of fans off.

Coke Zero 400

Another race in the books and another win for Kyle Busch and the No. 18 Toyota.

Busch won the race under the green-white checkered after the big one happened on the last lap. This is the sixth win for Busch this season.

Carl Edwards came in second and Matt Kenseth came in third.

The race was actually pretty entertaining. Tony Stewart got out of the car early because he was ill. He was replaced by J.J. Yeley. He also fell to 12 place in the overall standings.

There was a lot of single car spins, which is unusual. The only big wreck took place on the final lap that gave Busch the win.

For all of Jr. nation out there, he led the most laps but ended up finishing in the eighth spot. He also moved up to second in the Cup standings.
