That's earned him a spot in Winston Cup. There's also no arguing his sometimes hardheaded driving style has landed him in hot water so often that he makes Tony Stewart look like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. From his key role in instigating the epic Daytona truck series crash to his parking Mike Wallace at Dover, Busch has drawn the ire of many fellow drivers. And things didn't change when he ended up in Cup either, with a clearly enraged Dale Junior stalking Busch lap after lap after Kurt got into him at Rockingham. And the 97 team needs a sponsor.

After a tentative start, the match between Rudd and the 28 team, both trying to return to their glory days, proved to magic. While Rudd didn't win a race in 2000 he certainly came close a number of times. This team is poised to return to victory lane and certainly capable of achieving a multiple win season. If you're driver isn't listed above, hang tight.
