I tend to think Dale Jr. is a lot better than we’ve seen, his cars are never set up right or something (not into the technicalities of the engines or anything!). His last year or years with DEI were also a battleground behind the scenes with Teresa that we didn’t know about for a while.
Kyle is dangerous IMO sometimes, drives too crazy sometimes. Beats the crap out of his car sometimes too, but he definitely seems fearless, but that might not always be a good thing. He has a bad temper still too. They made Tony get counseling for his, Kyle just walks away silent but maybe he’s had some counseling too and that is how he controls himself now.
I saw part of a show about the drivers homes a bit ago and to Kyle’s credit his was the most modest normal home of the drivers featured. It was the first time I’d seen him off the track so to speak, and he seemed almost normal! Like Harvick’s house is ridiculously large in comparison and museum-like, but Kyle’s seemed like a normal home, not overly extravagant. I was impressed with that for some reason. I think the 3rd driver shown was Hamlin, medium large house. Just can’t see wasting their money on these humongous houses, and it’s not envy by any means.

"The competition, of course, is No. 1. Dale Earnhardt Jr., we have to remember, is Dale Earnhardt Jr. He could sell a chocolate popsicle to a woman in a white dress. It's easy. ...
