That's too bad. Kyle, and Carl will never be good enough drivers to win 7 championships cumulatively.


My crystal ball is unreliable, it's no help in telling me how many championships my favorite drivers will win (Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch). But, it really doesn't matter 'cause I won't be around long enough to care. That's the reason that I limit my racing enthusiasm,.... to a few years at a time.
I'm rooting for #20 at the next race, it's his turn.

Last time I looked....which has been the last 20+ years that I have been following NASCAR closely...knocking someone out of the way is how it is done by all the drivers - bad ones and good ones.

You do realize what is going to happen? Cuzin Carl and Rowdy Busch are going to going at it during the chase, take each other out, and Jimmie Johnson is going to quietly slide by and take the championship. Lock it up!!

I would love for it to be Tony. I told my husband it would be wonderful if someone out of the blue the has not won so far would tear it up once they got to the chase. Didn't Jimmie when most of his races during the last 10 races last year? Prior to New Hampshire wasn't Jeffy on top? That would really make it an exciting chase I think.

As I see it there's probably only one driver out there that wouldn't do the bump and run to win a race and that's Mark Martin. That's probably also the reason that he's never won a championship. For the drivers that you think would never do the bump and run, listen to them during a race, if theirs someone in the way, they'll move them.

Maybe that's what it took for him to see the truth. It's time for him to step down as a driver and step up as an owner. I think Tony Stewart will find himself in that same boat, in just a couple of years.
