Short Track Stars
Where did Kyle Busch head to after last weekend's busy NASCAR weekend in Richmond? To Madison, Wisconsin of course.

Busch went up to Madison International Speedway last Sunday afternoon to race in the ASA Midwest Tour event in his asphalt late model stock car. He's been up to MIS before and plans to race in about 15-50 late model races around the country this season.

It's great for fans who don't get a chance to see these NASCAR superstars up close at a Cup weekend when they show up at a local track. And rather than just making laps in an uncompetetive local car, guys like Busch, Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth have their own potent late models that they take on the road with them. Make no mistake, they/re there to win, not just make an appearance.

If you get a chance to support your short track - and please before it's too late - look for the extra treat of seeing some of these NASCAR stars take on the locals.

Most of the time they're relaxed and friendly, a much different scene than we get to see in the high-pressured world of the Cup garage.

And a lot of the time, these guys are running upfront and showing off their skills.

It's a great way to spend a summer evening.
