Lori Munro Cures Kyle's Guitar Curse
By Dennis Michelsen
Throughout the history of sports many memorable curses have lived! Boston Red Sox fans remember the "Curse of the Bambino." Cub fans are still dealing with the "Curse of the Billy Goat." The Cleveland Browns are still languishing thanks to the curse of…well being the Cleveland Browns! In the world of NASCAR Kyle Busch is happy to see the end of the "Curse of the Sam Bass Guitar." Since the infamous guitar smashing at Nashville Superspeedway Kyle Busch had been winless at the Cup level and dropping like a rock in the points. But RaceTalkRadio's Lori Munro has figured out a way to remove the curse of the guitar!

Yes the Curse is Real
Back on June 6th before the guitar was smashed at Nashville Kyle Busch was in 6th place in points in the Sprint Cup standings and over 100 points on the right side of the Chase. He had won three times already and this looked as if it would be another amazing year in all three NASCAR touring series for Kyle "Rowdy" Busch. But a series of below average runs have dropped Kyle out of the top 12 and with just a few races left in the regular season it was becoming obvious something had to be done to reverse the curse! Luckily for the fans of Rowdy there is still time to turn things around thanks to the art of Lori Munro. Yes the curse is real but thankfully it is now a thing of the past!

Wild Thing Guitar
Several weeks ago preparations began for a unique piece of art called the "Wild Thing" guitar and a fourth place finish at Watkins Glen showed the power of this art! "Someone had to do something to reverse the dreaded curse and I am just the right world-renown cartoon artist, dirt farmer and radio host to do it," said RaceTalkRadio's Lori Munro. Lori's artwork adorns the RaceTalkRadio website and is also seen at the Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa. "Firstly, I am a Kyle Busch fan and I do like his style," said Lori. "Thirdly, I knew the only way to reverse the curse was to prepare another guitar to absorb the bad tidings left after the destruction of the Sam Bass guitar. Fifthly, there is no better track to unveil the guitar than at the Music City Motorplex where this guitar trophy thing started many years ago!" This week the "Wild Thing" guitar will be present for the CRA Super Series race at the old Nashville Fairgrounds track Sunday with Kyle Busch racing for another win in his super late model.

Thank Her Later Kyle
The so-called NASCAR experts will be talking about how Kyle Busch was able to change his momentum and save his season with a miraculous comeback to make the Chase. But race fans you can display a smug smile knowing the real reason Kyle went from 15th to 12th in the last three races to make the playoffs. Will the positive mojo from the "Wild Thing" guitar carry Kyle Busch to a title? It is possible race fans and Kyle can thank Lori Munro by sending her a couple of cases of NOS Energy drink! The "Wild Thing" guitar will cure Kyle's guitar curse just in the nick of time.
