I'd want to be w/ Hendrick, and I'd want Jr. as my drafting partner, no doubt.

He wasn't getting enough help. He almost won the Daytona 500 too.

Divers you think suck past or present
 
Michael Waltrip sucks and so does Kenny Wallace.

He didn't get much help, but he was also erratic and couldn't do anything with a far superior car. I think him taking shots at his teammates was pretty sad.

I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I have tried watching some races and I fall asleep everytime. I even tried to TiVo a race and I still fell asleep. I found more interest in the Kasey Kahne commercials than the actual races themselves.:p Kasey Kahne is SO hot!:)

As far as him not being able to do anything with a fast car is concerned, I would have to disagree. I've seen several races where BigE, Gordon, Jr. and Stewart have had far superior cars and still didn't win the race. That doens't make them bad drivers. At a plate track, a driver needs drafting help or they're either going to get clothes lined or not win. Kyle did an excellent job with that car. I thought that was sad that he didn't get help from his own teammate.

I didn't say he's a bad driver, though I think he may be. He had by far the best car, and I really can't blame anyone for not helping him. When you act so carelessly on the track I think its ridiculous to expect others to come to your aid.

Even his own team mates? I don't think he was driving really that bad last Saturday night. Personally I think he should go to Gibbs or Evernham. Rumor has it that Gibbs may switch to Toyota. I just found out today. It's not a definite though. Stupid move if he does.

I dunno, perhaps. If Jimmy or Jeff were truly worried about their fate if they tried to help Kyle (which I would understand), then I can understand not giving him much help. If it wasn't that, then maybe it is pretty sketchy between teammates.

I think Gibbs would be the smart move for him, and I think Joe would be stupid to go to Toyota. Actually, I can't fathom why he would.

I agree, that would be a dumb move if Gibbs goes to Toyota.

Because NASCAR is the $hit.

Jeff is still leading the points.:D

PrettyBoy 07-30-2007 01:59 AM

This makes two Brickyard wins for Tony in 3 seasons. That was a close finish between him and Harvick. Jeff got 3rd. Go Jeff! Jeff is running strong this season.:D

Kyle Busch is going to Joe Gibbs Racing. Great Team! Rick Hendrick will soon see that he made a mistake letting Kyle go.

PrettyBoy 09-16-2007 03:04 AM

Junior didn't make the chase for a 2nd time. LOL:D

Seriously though, he would have been in the top 5 in points if it weren't for 6 engine failures. None of it was his fault. I thought there was something wrong with that picture. Truex ran fine with the same engine set up. Things that make ya go hmmmmm.;)

Well, what do you think for this year?

Who's watching the race today?
