Kyle Busch Wins at Dover. Miles the Monster Not Amused.

Earlier this year, Dover International Speedway unveiled its new monument to its giant grey golem of a mascot, Miles the Monster, whose handle reverses the nickname of the vicious concrete track itself, known as "The Monster Mile." The building-sized collusus, with glowering red eyes and a real stock car clutched in his fist, has been heavily hyped in the lead-up to race weekend at Dover—he even has his own limited-edition comic book. But I still think his coolest incarnation is in miniature form as the trophy handed out to race winners at Dover. The Sprint Cup trophy, which went to Kyle Busch this afternoon, was even brandishing a scale-model of Busch’s racecar. This Miles isn’t a gift-shop item, though—it looks like you might have to win a Sprint Cup race to score one.
