Drama Keeps the Attention of NASCAR Fans

If it wasn't for the various story lines in NASCAR this year, face it,  this year would be rather boring.  Kyle Busch is running away with this thing. He's about 250-points in front of Dale Jr. The only thing saving NASCAR is the 10 race Chase at the end of the year.  This year's headlines are also helping.  Here's a glance, in no particular order; Carl Edwards caught "cheating", then some tire controversy, which included Tony Stewart running his mouth at Goodyear. Let's see, then there was accusations by Rousch-Fenway Racing that a Toyota team stole a proprietary part. Toyota gets it first win. More tire controversy, Stewart leaves Gibbs Racing. More tire controversy.  Dale Jr. back in victory lane, Dale Jarrett retires, Mark Martin un-retires, again, whew... I think I may have missed some tire controversy along the way.  Ohh, and don't forget the whole Aaron Fike driving high on heroin story. Yup, I love NASCAR for so many reasons. 

Other than Kyle Busch's complete dominance over the competition, what's your favorite headline from this season. I certainly left a few out...let's hear what you got!!!
