So what does the bizzaro graphic you see right here before your very eyes have to do with anything? Well, if you look close, you'll see a vision of "Kyle ROWDY BAD BOY BAD BOY, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you BAD BOY Busch" ... Ok ok... it used to be a Bob Marley poster but I couldn't resist. We all saw the hooplah at Martinsville when on the very last lap, Busch spun Benson as he tried to grab 2nd place from him... and they both lost. Love him or hate him, he certainly gets us all talking... as I did in this edition of The Cargo Light Review. Dennis Setzer won for Bobby Hamilton Racing in a very emotional win; tune in and hear from Setzer, team co-owner Lori Hamilton, Chad "Sweet Face" McCumbee, and Matt Crafton... all jam packed into a tidy 30 min package that'll leave you wanting even more!
