It used to be Jeff Gordon got the most boos from the crowd at a NASCAR Nextel Cup race. Fueled by cat calls from 'Junior Nation' - the legion of fans who follow Dale Earnhardt, Jr. - Gordon was always the top target of the 'Bronx Cheer' in NASCAR.

Not anymore.

With Junior Nation taking on a kinder, gentler stance now that their boy Dale and Jeffy will be teammates at Hendrick Motorsports next season, the mantle of wearing the most boos during driver introduction seems to have fallen on Kyle Busch.

Busch was booed unmercifully throughout the NASCAR weekend at Bristol. It started with driver intro for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race Wednesday and continued throughout the week ending with a thunderous swell of cat calls in Saturday evening's Cup intro ceremonies.
