Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. But Kurt Busch and others created their luck in rainy New Hampshire, Lee Spencer says.

Juan Pablo Montoya was hit with a two-lap penalty Sunday after he intentionally ran into NASCAR Sprint Cup points leader Kyle Busch during a late caution period at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Montoya spun out Busch, but the move backfired when Busch’s car came back across the track and hit Montoya’s.

The former open-wheel star, in his second full season in NASCAR, was called to the NASCAR hauler after the race for a talking to, although officials said there would be no further penalties.
