Busch falters in second year at #18 JGR, misses Chase
Disappointing finishes leads to change of crew chief *
Kyle Busch's season left him feeling a little green around the gills.
Kyle missed the Chase for the 1st time since his 1st full season in 2005.
Busch finished the season with 9 top-5s and 13 top-10s, a huge falloff from the previous year.
He won 4 races this past Sprint Cup Series season; only 2 drivers won more, and 2 others won as many.
Busch finished outside the top 20 in 12 races including 10 through the defining first 26 of the season, despite winning 3 of the first 10 races.
Busch scored 3 top-5s in the 5 races leading up to the Chase, but it wasn't enough.
He fell (just) 8 points shy of making the Chase.
A season of promise unfulfilled ultimately cost
Steve Addington his job as crew chief, with
Dave Rogers taking over for the final 3 races in preparation for 2010.
After competing in a grand total of
86 races across all 3 of NASCAR's national series in 2009, many wondered if Busch was spreading himself too thin.
All indications are his schedule in 2010 won't be as intense.
But don't expect Busch to let up.
