You have alot of bloggers who have hate when Kyle is compared to Sr. I dont get it. The kid is good. He is winning in everything he drives. He has a voice that is heard, and listned to.
Why when some says that he reminds them of Dale Sr. do people get hate in their blood. I know noone will ever replace Sr. Just like their will never be another King and 200 wins. Just like we will probably never be another underdog driving an Underbird, like Alan Kulwiki.
I would love to see someone win races like the King. Kinda had that last year with Johnson and Gordon, then it got to be to much. I didnt like it then. Remeber when the King started winning they had like 60 plus races a year.
Now as for Alan and the Underbird, I dont know if we will ever have an owner driver win another championship. It was unheard of when he did it in 1992. That race for the championship at Atlanta that year was historic. You had 3 guys go in with a real chance of winning. Davey Allison had the points lead, Alan was a close second, and Bill Elliott was a close third. About halfway through Davey crashed hard on the fron strech. Bill went on to win the race and Alan won the championship finishing close behind Bill.
Also that day The king ran his last race. Also the new kid, Jeff Gordon made his first cup start. Yea that was a great day.
Now back to Kyle. Like Sr. he tells everyone how he feels about the car. The track, as well as anything good or bad towards nascar. You never had to wonder how Sr. felt. When you win races like Kyle they listen. When you win championships like Sr. they listen and react. He helped get actions toward his ideas as well as other drivers that were friends of Sr.s.
Kyle doesn't have that pull YET. Will he ever get it. Maybe. Tony Stewart has it. Jeff Gordon has it. Jeff though is not the out spoken kind like Sr. I as a fan wish Jeff was more like Sr. than a nascar poster boy. He did speak after Vegas. You can bet on softer barriers at spots like the one at Vegas.
Kyle is like Sr. in many ways. Driving, and attitude toward his driving. They both go for it on the track. They put the car anywhere they think it needs to be to pass and win. Sr. in the grass for the pass. Kyle on the flat of a track to pass. Yea I only have a few things to throw at you about the two.
Kyle if he can win a championship this year. "I think he can" will make this a little better of a comparision. So if you think I am out of my mind camparing the two, that is your opion. If Kyle keeps driving and winning this way, dont say I told ya so. Seven championships I dont think we will ever see that again with the Chase format. With out it Gordon would have 6 now.
This year and Kyle Busch are going to be awsome to watch. Rember I said this at the begining of the year. Kyle is alot like Sr. Just look back at my Bloggs. Anyway the Busch race in Nashville is on and Kyle is leading. Go figure. Gota watch it. Blog back at ya soon..
I think part of it is the fact that people just refuse to remember how hated big E was when he first came up. he didnt go out of his way to make friends, and he didnt go out of his way to avoid wreckin himself or anyone else back then. i see the similarities in the driving styles and attitude. but after big Es legendary career, and, dare i say, god like status, after his death, your just not allowed to say it.
That 1992 Atlanta race has some scary things about it and the drak cloud that surrounded many drivers from that race on. Most comes down to the number 1 being in most of them. I have to agree with Degraft about his attitude, and I think that will change when the wins come. Lets hope so.
I agree his attitude needs to change, and probably will with his success. Like Earnhardt Sr. he was someone that didnt hold back his feelings on and off the track. With his success he gained the respect. Busch will learn also rember he is 22. He is still at the begining o####reat career.
Photo. Busch was dropped instead of Mears because Busch didnt fit the politicly correct attitude Hendrick wants. I am and always will be a Gordon fan, just wish he wasn't such a "yes sir no sir" kinda driver.
blue@orange..I think I touched on your thoughts..thanks for the input.
Get r Done..Attitude will lessin when he figures it out..
Forensic..Yes Atlanta in 92 will be one of if not the best of the best. .It will always be one of the top five races in history.
Thankyou all for r input.
Well I am a Father of an awsome 9 yearold junior flaggman. Together we are the biggest racefans. We have an awsome diecast collection and love to get to any races we can. I became a fan with my mother, and now my son with me. I work full time as a machinist, and father. This will be something new and enjoyable, I will also get my sons view and let you no that as well. Well now about the teams and drivers we like. I am a Hendrick fan #24 preferably, and Noah my son Roush and the #17. So last spring was fun when we went to Bristol.
