Two races left, two-man race for the championship

After yesterday's NASCAR race at Texas, race winner Tony Stewart trails Carl Edwards, who finished 2nd, by 3 points with two races left, heading into Phoenix.

However, the big story was Kyle Busch parked by NASCAR officials for the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races at Texas. Why? On Friday during the Camping World Truck Series race, Busch, driving the #18 truck for his own team was wrecked by Ron Horniday in the #33 truck for Kevin Harvick Incorporated, bringing ou the caution. Shortly afterwards, Busch intentionally wrecked Horniday under caution, sending him into the wall and ending his hopes at catching Austin Dillon, who drives the #3 truck for Richard Childress, his grandfather. As a result, Denny Hamlin drove Busch's Nationwide car and finished 2nd to Trevor Bayne in the Nationwide race, while Michael McDowell drove Busch's Cup car and struggled.
