Wednesday, July 13th 'What If' Question

Coming off two victories at the Kentucky Speedway in the Camping World Truck and Sprint Cup Series, Kyle Busch is now just one win short of 100 across all three national NASCAR series.

Before Busch had even hit the 80 or 90 win mark the talk was all about if he could break 200. That number was put up by Richard Petty during his heyday when he won 200 Sprint Cup Series races. No one has come close to breaking that mark with the closes being David Pearson at 105. With Busch, he only has 22 career Cup Series wins but says he wants to break the 200 mark.

If he's going to do it, he and everyone else knows that it'll come from wins combined in all three of NASCAR's top series which he regularly races in. Busch currently has 29 CWTS wins, 48 NNS wins and the 22 Cup wins. This weekend in New Hampshire one win, either in the NNS or Cup series would put him at 100 and from there the talk will become more rampant about him getting to 200.

To some it makes no sense. If Petty and others won all their races in the Cup Series, why is Busch getting to count all of his wins? It's something that was never really done or talked about until Busch started dominating the circuit and winning everything that he sat in. For about as much talk that goes into the 200 win mark, there's equal the talk about how it makes no sense to combine wins for all three series and isn't worth talking about.

But ...

What if @KyleBusch does indeed tie or break 200 win mark, should it be treated, covered and/or celebrated like the Kings 200 wins? #NASCAR

@mbauerherzog Yes. Even though he's hated, it is an accomplishment that should be celebrated/treated like one.

@Carchallenge43 I enjoy watching Kyle win fan won't accept it. it should be respected kyle isn't a waltrip five time or Dale jr. Or Bobby allison

@NancyatStudioN YES! Many of RP's wins were against almost no competition or where he was the only one on the track with good equipment. KyBu has had to compete against the best drivers with good equipment. Also, KyBu's winning percentage is better than RP's

@StrokerAce90 Yes. It'll make #KBShow fans feel special and give them something else to get tattoo'd on their backs and asses #HelpsEconomy
