This can't really be serious, can it?

New England sports fans tend to follow their local teams, which just so happen to be winning at the moment. If anything, New England fans are known to be loyal "non-bandwagoners" to that effect. There are reasons why the Celtics continued to sell-out games during their 18-game losing streak last year. To assume that local fans will simply "jump on the Kyle Busch bandwagon" because he's winning is insulting the common fan's intelligence.

Kyle Busch has loads of talent. He also has loads of attitude. Some folks like that, others don't. He's obviously young. Some folks like that too. He will win more fans simply by continuing to be successful and professional on the track. Heck, I know a number of folks who do not support him simply for the make of the car he drives. NASCAR fans can be fickle like that.

I just don't think an Interstate Batteries blog campaign is necessary to drum up fan support for their driver.

A letter to our beloved region on behalf of Kyle Busch ...

Dear New England Sports Fans:

As the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Loudon, N.H., for Sunday’s Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, it would be entirely appropriate for you to jump on the Kyle Busch bandwagon.
