Kyle Busch is driving in a domination mode as of late.

Busch has now won a race in at least one of NASCAR's top three series every weekend this season. It started with a victory in the non-points qualifying race at Daytona and followed with wins in the Truck and Nationwide Series at California, the Cup race at Las Vegas, and the Nationwide race at Atlanta.

He could be the winning-est driver at this point in the 2009 season in ANY motorsports racing series anywhere, save someone's personal backyard go-kart track.

The kid is good, no doubt about it. But, he still needs to get his emotions under control a bit more. A good example: parking his car in turn 3 after Saturday's race and stomping off through the pedestrian tunnel.
