Kyle Busch, Gibbs Finally Win at Bristol

As someone who over the past 3 to 4 years gains a little more interest each year, I really wonder how a sport can, continue to talk about Dale Jr. Every where you look its Dale Jr. Winning one race in 3 and a half years, come on there are at least 12 to 15 drivers better then him, and yet if you started to watch in the past few months, you'd think Dale was in a leagh by himself. Bush's, Gordon, Johnson, Hamlin, Martin and on and on is what you should be talking about, evry time you enter nascar on the computer, there is something about Dale Jr. Probably the most over rated athlete in the history of sports. Last year He was voted as one of the best athletes in the world. He's not even in the top ten of nascar. Why don't you write about all the good drivers, not the loser that Dale is. new nascar fan steve

Where was Jr's named mentioned by the author of this article? Geoffrey Miller didn't mention it once, did he?

Why don't you base your comments on the written article posted? Instead of your perceived slights.

There is nothing in this world that you aren't willing to argue about. Jr should be trashed to make you feel better about your self. Go open a blog and trash Jr all day long. Maybe you can bundle up in those sleepy feet pj's and you'll feel all better about your self. Your posts seem to always be directed at Jr. Are you Kyle's PR person, mgr, or what?

Most of all it is funny. Many Nascar fans are well aware of the manipulation of fans by a group of people that have a very difficult job of supporting Kyle. Touch job when your driver can't seem to let it go! Maybe a sports psychologist would help. Just think about it.

Relax sgarc9, you made a valid point. As for Susan's remarks, don't sweat her, she's just a typical Jr fan.....no brains and all mouth. She's obnoxious and uses these pages to vent her frustration. Jr's fans are the worst, as you will soon find out. Oh well, I guess it's only natural that losers would back a loser. works for me.....

Kyle Busch's people have found a better way to cheat than Chad Knaus this year, what can you say..

This kid is once again on fire this year. If he doesn't win the cup this year, I'll be shocked. Everyone likes a winner and a guy who has already won two races out of five and has already won in the two other series he is racing in, is impressive indeed. He continues to break records as he did yesterday by winning two different series at the same track back to back in the same weekend. Amazing! In my humble opinion, Rick Hendrick should have never let Kyle Busch go. If there were personality conflicts, they should have been worked out. This kid's talent is unstoppable.

On a side note, I noticed how he is getting booed less and less and the fans are finally coming around to cheer for him. I don't like to hear any driver booed for winning. It's in poor taste and helps the NASCAR haters refer to us fans as "redneck trash." Like I've said before, everyone loves a winner and Kyle Busch is certainly that.

Yes, Kyle simply drove to the front and stayed there. Just because he is winning I see no reaon to accuse them of cheating. He wins, your driver doesn't. Get over it. He's certainly not my fav driver either but he can drive like no one else it seems.
Kim, when the anouncement came out two years ago several people said Hendrick traded down as far as talent goes. There is no argument anyone could possibly make that is not the case. I still say it was mostly about the marketing money Jr brings in. That and the fact that Busch was probably treated like third tier when in fact he is easily as good as Jeff and Jimmie.
Steve, many people say Jr is over rated. I think what they really mean is he has lots of fans without lots of wins (lately). That is not being over rated, it is being popular. I think he has been voted Most Popular 4 or 5 years in a row. The reason you see his stuff everywhere is because of that. I am still trying to figure out why over 40% of the fans vote him their fav every year but that is the way it is. Think about it, there are 15-20 pretty darn good drivers out there and 1 guy gets 40%+ of the votes.
Yes, his point totals at the end of the season indicate a driver somewhere around 14th place for the past 3 years you have been a fan. But the Jr fans will pull out every stat they can find to try to prove he is better than that. Look back a few years and you will see that he once was.

Face it, Kyle Busch is the new face of NASCAR. Did you catch Dale Jarrett over the weekend chastising Joon-yer for not working out like most of the other drivers? He just doesn't want it as badly as other guys.

I think NASCAR need to relax their rules about keeping the cars all the same. It seems to me that I am watching a 200 lap parade! I want to see cars that can actually race and be able to pass another car. In a typical race of 200-250 laps their will only be 10% of those laps actually gaining and passing. Also get back to stock autos as they are manufactured ,but with added safety features for the drivers. Name the brand of cars that are leading as well as the driver.

Bring back the old days, when Petty, Pearson, Yarborough, Allison, and the other good ole boys traded paint. NASCAR just seems to have lost something, or maybe I am just getting old? Does anyone remember the time Cale led all 500 laps at Bristol? That must have been an awesome sight.

Punky Busch stomped off like Danica Patrick Saturday. How old is this douchebag? Where was the Jesus freak, Joe Baby Gibbs? Wasn't that a teachable moment Joe Baby?

Well once again O-B-Don-nobody has opened his mouth and inserted his cloven foot......big mouth no brains now ain't that the pot calling the kettle black. In your 00000 amount of wisdom DamnthenationDon where the hell in this article is it about Jr. which Susan is refering to. When you say Jr's fans are the worst Donald you're refering to all of them and since I will include myself in that bunch, if the money I make and the life I live make me a loser then dude your are one *&%$ed up nutbag that can kiss my loser #$% where the sun don't shine.

Aloha, Brad

P.S. If Idiot's had a King please take off your helmet when you get off the short Bus and DON-THE-CROWN.......wow not only does your name fit the bill but so does your huge melon! ! !

Hey GRUMPY, Kyle is one hell of a driver but HOWDY DOOOODY was the new face of puppets for awhile to and that didn't last forever either. Just saying they do look alot alike, he's still a great driver.

NASCAR has become boring. Between the new cars that are all the same and all of the tracks being resurfaced with better high grooves. Passing on the right anywhere in Bristol? Bristol used to be a bang-em-up derby. Now these cars are so similar and build so strong that it's like a gentleman's race, not a stock car race. It used to be that you bumped and pushed your way to the front. Now, all of that is frowned upon and everyone drives like Miss Daisy. If anyone becomes agressive, they're called to the carpet. Like the post a few ahead of me... bring back the old days where you build your own car, you experiment with your own ideas and you win by doing whatever it takes.

nascar is getting very boring, once again, 2 or 3 guys are winning every week, sorry but I dont see the sport gaining popularity If this keeps up, Nascar has gotten too politically correct, It doesnt need to diversify, it needs to go back to the days of old.....
