NASCAR’s marketing department might be trying to put together a “reality TV” show starring its drivers, but it’s safe to say Kurt Busch and Jimmy Spencer won’t be starring in a remake of the 1980s TV sitcom Bosom Buddies. “You’ve got to be lucky,” Spencer said after Busch won Sunday’s race. “Kurt was lucky last year, and he was lucky again. Richard Petty always said you’d rather be lucky than good, and he was obviously lucky today. I congratulate him for it.” Busch and Spencer had two on-track confrontations last season one at Bristol and another at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. After the Indy wreck, Busch called Spencer a “decrepit old has-been,” and Spencer failed to qualify for the next race. Busch, apparently, is still gloating. “I was real happy when things came to a close at Watkins Glen, when he went home and missed the show,” Busch said Sunday. “Indianapolis was a tough thing. I put myself in position to wreck and he wrecked me, and he missed the show at Watkins Glen, so I put a period on the end of the whole incident there.”( USA Today )(3-25-2003)
