Kyle is by far one of the best drivers out there. If I recall Dale Sr. wasn't the nicest one on the track. Besides Kyle makes NASCAR enjoyable watching again. Although he might not want to hit Little E too many times or else he might get hurt.

Right on! Finally some else who sees Dale sr in Kyle. I also see a little Rusty Wallace as well. I have thought that for awhile.
Funny how, when sr and/or Rusty did stuff like that it was just good old racin'.

Kyle is a very talented young driver, very competitive, which translates into being aggresive. Maybe if jr drove a little more aggresivly he may win a race or two.

Kyle, much like Tony is what our sport needs, bring back the passion in racing.

You got a problem with Kyle Busch? He doesn't care
May 7, 2008
By Pete Pistone
Special to CBSSports.com

There are two questions I'm most frequently asked when people find out I cover auto racing for a living.

The first is, what do drivers do when nature calls during a race?

Kyle Busch isn't concerned about ruffling feathers, just winning. (AP)
Since big time auto racing pit stops are intended to service only the car, I'll leave you to figure out the rather unsanitary answer to that one.

The second is, who gets booed the loudest in pre-race driver introductions?

If he didn't have that one sewed up before last Saturday night Richmond, the hands-down winner there now is Kyle Busch.

The younger Busch pretty much took over the most booed lead from his brother, Kurt, about a year ago. And Shrub's aggressive driving style and his being never at a loss for words add up to Kyle taking over the role as NASCAR's chief villain among most fans today.

After his controversial tangle with Dale Earnhardt Jr. in Richmond, Busch was at his sarcastic best.

"The fans were going crazy, and you see it, but you don't pay attention to it," Busch said. "I don't know why they were telling me I was No. 1, I was in second place. Clint Bowyer got the lead from me -- they were all confused.

"I guess too many old Budweisers," he finished, referring to Junior's former long-time sponsor.

The Saturday night incident came on the heels of Friday night's Nationwide Series tangle with Steven Wallace, son of former Cup champion Rusty.

After the two made contact on the track in the closing laps, things spilled over to pit road. Busch went over to Wallace's car, and when he stuck his head in the side window, he was grabbed by the helmet, igniting more hard feelings and a war of words.

"I basically told him that you mess with the bull, you're going to get the horns, then he wanted to grab my helmet, which is pretty childish again," said Busch, who added he would "wreck as many cars as necessary to win a race."

His tirade continued as he took aim at the entire Wallace family.

"We'll see what happens here in the future, and if he wants to play those games, he's going to get hurt," Busch said.

When asked if he would try to discuss things further with him, Busch said: "That's Rusty Wallace's kid, so I'm not sure you're going to be able to talk to him much and get through his head. But we'll see. Probably I won't."

So in one weekend Busch attacked two of the most famous names in NASCAR: Earnhardt and Wallace.

Not that it matters to him.

The only thing Kyle Busch does care about is winning, and it's something he has done on a regular basis this year, with seven victories in NASCAR's top three divisions.

Busch isn't worried about ruffling feathers or being politically correct. In some ways he's a throwback to some of the no-holds-barred drivers who were part of NASCAR's glorious past. Guys like Curtis Turner, Cale Yarborough and even Dale Earnhardt Sr. seem to be a big part of Busch's DNA.

Having this bad boy reputation and villain role doesn't seem to bother him much at all, and he continued to not back down over his tangle with Earnhardt.

"It's nothing new to me anyway," Busch said of the incessant jeers he has received from Junior Nation followers. "I'm used to it. I pretty much told them, 'Grow up, that's racing.' We're racing hard, and I feel like there's a lot more worse cases in this world than someone getting spun out in a race."

While NASCAR surely doesn't condone aggressive driving or dangerous on-track altercations, deep down the sanctioning body has to be pleased with this evolving Busch vs. the world rivalry.

A Busch-Earnhardt Jr. feud would especially generate lots of attention and press, although Junior has downplayed the whole thing.

But in a sport that was founded on bad blood and great rivalries, which in all honesty have been missing for a while, a little controversy like what happened in Richmond isn't a bad thing at all.

I would imagine it helped sell a few more seats in Darlington this weekend, and the folks at Lowe's Motor Speedway, always happy to stir up a little dirt in the name of a good promotion, will do all they can to use the situation to put a few more butts in their bleachers later this month.

You can bet there will be more than a few fans hoping the Nos. 18 and 88 cars find each other on track this Saturday night in Darlington.

Probably a few track promoters, television executives and NASCAR P.R. people as well.

It's funny how Kyle Busch has this "grow up" attitude when he wrecks someone considering nobody on the circuit acts like more of a crying child when he wrecks than Kyle does. (like last year when he wrecked and ran off pouting forcing another driver to drive his car for the rest of the race)

I read the following in a blog last night, so I can't take credit for it, but I do agree with it.
Many of you might too!

Kyle Busch again proves why he is the class of the field when it comes to talent
and classless when it comes to integrity and character.

I can describe Kyle Busch.......

FEARLESS,awesome, talented, and the future of the sport. He is only 22 and look at what he has accomplished so far. I will guarentee that when he is done he will be among the tops in wins and championships.

No one has ever beat down Darlington like he did. Is he a jerk maybe....but people watch to see him act like a jerk controversy is great for the sport and a driver like Kyle is only going to make NASCAR more poular. Just think drivers tend to drive into thier 40's sometimes 50's thats at least 20 more years of Kyle Busch imagine what he will do with 20 years.

As far as Kyle goes I think he is a heck of a driver. Like him or not the guy gets it done. I bet Rick Hendrick kicks himself for trading Kyle for Jr. I mean that was a sorry trade!

What really gets on my nerves is all the Jr. fans that are whinning cause Kyle bumped into Jr. (which I still don't think he did intentionaly). 95% of Jr. fans were hardcore Dale Sr. fans, and how did Dale Sr. race? He wrecked everybody he could! Was Dale Sr. a good racer, heck yeah, was he the best of all time? Wel I don't know because he just ran over top of people! So I figure that if it was ok for Dale to do it then it is ok for Kyle to do it.

somehow I doubt you watched dale sr race.. so many times they thought he hit them he merely just took the air off their spoilers... he did hit a few, especially if they hit him first, I know it was not always the case though... like any racers, they do things once in a while that really make it hard for their fans to face the world the next day... however, being a dale sr fan and now a harvick fan, you cannot tell me that is the only way they can win races... cause at bristol on many occasions I have seen both of them win at bristol without a scratch on their cars... I said it last year after the trade was made to JGR for kyle, wouldn't it be funny to see kyle win the championship... sure looks like a reality huh? we sure have been seeing a show this year, the guy has had a phenomenal run so far, only guy out there changing lanes and recovering after most woulda hit the wall.. His biggest problem is his maturity level... like a few yrs ago when he tried to defend his brother... lol just outta be the silent type, like dale sr was... just stand there and grin... dale did not run his mouth. subtlety getting his point across... lol I am sure this discussion won't be over soon...lol
