Before there was Kyle Busch, there was Kurt Busch. 

There's something about old-school Kurt Busch that hits differently.  Maybe it was his Intimidator-like tactics or his attitude problems at times; there was just something about Busch that was unique.  He was one of those guys that could win when it counted, and he did that this month in 2004 when he won at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

He eventually lost the lead next week at Dover International Speedway with a 5th place finish only to regain the points lead the next week at the Talladega Super Speedway. He went on to become the Cup Series champion that year at Homestead Miami Speedway. 

Although Busch hasn't won a championship since then, he has remained one of the most polarizing figures in NASCAR history.
