Kyle Busch starts Sophomore season in #5.

Kyle Busch starts his second season at the helm of the Hendricks #5 Chevy. By all accounts the season of 2005 was a good season for Kyle and the #5 team. Kyle won the Rookie of the Year and captured an unexpected two checkered flags. Now how will they do for an encore?

Kyle Busch will be looking to improve on his two wins from 2005. Like his brother, Kyle is a proven winner and skilled driver, but can he put his attitude in check to make a run at the chase? Yet again, Kyle Busch should post a few victories but he may come up short when it comes to making the chase. Even though I don't believe he will be in real contention this year, Kyle should be tough in the next few years.
