[quote][b]TheClotTroll (7/28/2008)[/b][hr]He is one of the most talented drivers on the circuit. His car control is top-notch, and one of the best I have ever seen in being around racing all my life.

To a degree, I think he gets incorrectly misperceived as a jerk. Keep in mind: He donates all of his truck race winnings to charity, something that his haters conviently forget. I tend to think of him as being very blunt. He'll grow out of it.

What I really can't stand, though, are the Earnhardt fans who think nothing but the worst of him. Their mantra is usually saying something along the lines of "Earnhardt was just racing hard...Busch is an ." You can't tell me that Bernhard was just racing hard when, years ago, he took Terry Labonte out TWICE at Bristol and didn't get penalized for it. That's just the worst (in my opinion) of many examples. Earnhardt took guys out purposefully and in the self-interest of winning races. That's the truth. [/quote]

You are correct about Earnhart.I never could stand him either.same reasons as KB. Junior is not like that.He is a hell of a nice guy.That is why I like Him.I never was a fan of his Dads.

I can think of several drivers that have fallen into the "JERK" category early in their careers. Darrell Waltrip, Dale Sr, Ernie Ervin, Tony Stewert, Tim Richmond, I could go on but you get the picture. These guys come in, they are young, the are aggressive, they make mistakes, and worst of all they win. They outrace fan favorites and take away wins. How many Dale Sr fans questioned Jeff Gordon's interest in women just because he was beating Sr? In a few years when Kyle figures out he is not immortal and tones it down a bit some other brash young kid will take his place as the jerk.

Interesting observation, of them all only Dale Sr. never really our grew it.

I can agree with some of your post, but not all of it.

Yes Kyle "scrub" Busch can drive a car. No question about that. "One of the best"? I don't think so. Off the top of my head I can probably list 10 active drivers that are better than him.

Like it or not, the guy is a spoiled brat, jerk and immature punk.

As far as what Earnhardt did back in the day, that's part of what made the sport grow to what it is today. Was it right? Probably not, however, the bump and run has pretty much become one of THE moves to get by someone. Everybody does it.

Sorry, but I didn't realize there was enough room in the drivers seat for you and an upside-down barstool.

I like Kyle Bush, mainly because so many NASCAR fans hate him. I don't know why y'all don't like him. My dad said he doesn't like him because he thinks he is better than everybody else. Hasn't he proved he is just as good if not better than everybody else? Also, I can't stand Dale Jr. He really ain't all that great of a driver. Where was he at last year? IMO the only reason people like him is because of his dad.

[quote][b]The Mad Dog (7/27/2008)[/b][hr][quote][b]zackattack99 (7/27/2008)[/b][hr]Hamlin should have at least 3 more victories this season. And Stewart should have at least 1 or 2 more. They haven't had the breaks go their way like elephant ears has.

Hamlin was leading Richmond wire to wire for 381 laps (shattering the previous track record) when he suffered a flat tire which was from fresh tires that were changed about 15 laps prior. Hamlin should have coasted to victory that day.

Hamlin also should have won Bristol. Was ahead with 2 laps to go, until the yellow/ restart and the ensuing fuel line issue.

And Hamlin had a great car today also, probably better than Jimmie Johnson's car with the way he pulled away during one of those green flag runs.

That was the 3rd worst race ever. Right behind Talladega with the roof fins, and Louden with restrictor plates. Very disappointing.

[quote][b]zackattack99 (7/27/2008)[/b][hr]I hate Kyle Busch about as much as everybody else but I've got to admit that he is a talented driver and he has proven it this year.

Tony Stewart should have won a few weeks back in the rain shortened race.

Kyle Busch has had almost everything go his way when he needed it to, this year.

I hope someone puts his sorry azz into the wall.....like maybe that kid from the Geico commercials.

As far as Kyle "scrub" Busch is concerned, he's nothing but a punk that needs a good azz whipping.[/quote]

Kyle Busch aint all that.

Put Tony Stewart or Denny Hamlin in the same car Scrub drives every week, and they will win too.

As a matter of fact this has beem proven in the Nationwide series as the #20 car has won more races than any other car this year. Stewart, Hamlin, Scrub & Logano have all won driving that car this season....and Logano's just an 18 year old kid for cripes sake.

I could probably win a nationwide race driving the #20 car.

(Yes, I am aware that Scrub drove the 18 last night, exception/ rule, but the point still stands)

I know why I can't stand the guy.But I am really curious about how people feel about KB.I thrive on this sport,It keeps me alive up until the preseason starts.

I am now a JR fan.Never thought that would happen.Never did like his Dad.Got on board before his Hendrick days.Jr. just seems like to nice a guy to go all the way.But I'm in it for the long haul.
