(Note: The picture on the right is from 2004. Yes, it freaks me out too. Thank you, Getty Images.)If you remember back to one year ago, Kurt and Kyle Busch weren't exactly the happiest set of brothers in the NASCAR garage.
That's generally what happens -- brothers or not -- when you wreck each other while racing for $1 million. I will give credit where credit is due, of course, and say that Kurt Busch easily had one of the best lines of all of 2007 when he said "I definitely won't be eating any Kellogg's any time soon."
Since then, though, the relationship in the family between the two hasn't been the greatest. For much of 2007, a quote from one or the other came out about how they weren't talking or hadn't discussed things.
In other words, they just didn't want to kiss and make up.
Then Grandma stepped in:
Kyle said the two made amends after their grandmother asked them to work out their differences for the Christmas holiday.Well isn't that just ... precious.
"It was a little edgy to begin with because that was about the first time we'd ever sat down together," Kyle said of Christmas dinner.
"The more it kind of went, the more it kind of got back to normal and friendly and whatever. By the end of the night we were playing games and everything anyway."
I'm glad that Grandma got her wish and all in the Busch family, and that Kurt and Kyle can handle playing cards together, but that makes for zero fun on the race track.
I'm all for the brotherly love off the track, but come on guys, make sure you spice up the night a little bit this weekend for the Sprint All-Star Race XXIV. On the track should be totally different.

Freaky picture indeed! Glad the brothers are getting along better these days but can we fans make an urgent plea to never have to see such freaky photos of them again? They are bad enough on their own. To act & look even goofier in a photo just scares me. I think I will go away and close my eyes for a while now. LOL

The picture is terrible. Maybe it's a gag picture or something.
I'm starting to like Kurt better these days tho.
He seems to have matured some.
