Kurt’s my boy. I love him for his beercar. Nice to see them keeping it all in the family.

You're right, he is a great driver and I don't like him. Hendrick sure screwed the pooch when he cut Kyle loose and put Junior in his place.

You are right. I am sure when all is done, Hendrick will look back and say that was his biggest error as an owner. Totally self inflicted too because it was apparent before Kurt left tthat he was arguably the most talented driver on the course with a huge future.

I share your opinion on Busch as a person. He is a total dufus, and difficult to like, but one has to respect the hell out his abilities.

Not at all. Just part of today's NASCAR where driving talent is maybe 30% of your value and marketability is 70%.

Junior could finish out of the chase five years straight and still be worth many millions due to his sponsor appeal.

He’s still a jerk-off.

I’m hoping that as he gets older, he’ll lose the jerk act much like DW did. There’s some guys that have that edge, like Tony Stewart, that I still like for some undefinable reason. Kyle Busch, right now, just comes across as a spoiled whiny punk. But I’ll agree, he’s an amazing natural talent as a driver.
