The 2011 season isn?t even two weeks in, yet some historic records have already been broken. There were a record number of lead changes in the Daytona 500, Trevor Bayne won in just his second career Cup attempt, and in doing so became the youngest 500 winner ever. Even Phoenix, a venue known for little passing up front, had a track record for lead changes last Sunday. There was more history, as ESPN loves to say, made this week when the point standings were released.
Much has already been made about how the Busch brothers are the first family members to sit atop the standings since the Daytona 500 in 1988 when Bobby and Davey Allison were at the top. Did you know this is the first time brothers have been sitting 1-2 since the position based points system started in 1975? Sure, it is just two races in, but we are talking about a former Cup champion in Kurt Busch and one of the most talented drivers in Kyle Busch. It’s no fluke. The question now is whether the brotherly duo can keep up their early season success. For Kurt and Kyle, they must overcome different matters to achieve the same goal ? win the title.
