Honestly, what Dale did to Kyle was something that, normally, ONLY Stewart would do... Dale should know better.
Kyle is an awesome driver but he just has the worst luck. He should have won so many races if it werent for being punted out of the way but aggressive drivers, that all got away with no penalties for doing it.
I think Hendricks made a mistake by letting Kyle go...especially for Dale Jr....c'mon.

I agree somewhat about Kyle, yes he's had some bad luck, however, that bad luck can't be all placed on other drivers. Kyle is the only one in control of his car, he's the one who makes the decisions whether to drive a bit to aggressively or take his time and do as best as he can, instead of driving like it's the last lap which has caused him many dismal finishes.
As for Jr., we all know he's not ever going to be like his daddy, and that's where some ppl need to let go of that connection and look at Jr. as a driver who is trying to make driving in NASCAR a success. So far Jr. seems to be working his way back to the front and will continue that drive to the front with HMS. A new start to a new season just might be what Jr. needs to become his own man.
And lastly, Stewart is Stewart, he's never going to change and imo, he shouldn't have to just for the likes of NASCAR.

I don't think Jr took Kyle out intentionally, It's a part of racing, Kyle was slower and Jr. came up on him a little too fast and didn't back off in time, just barely got underneath him . They sometimes call it bump drafting . You should remember also that Kyle has done the same thing to many other dirvers as well, including taking out his own brother Kurt. So I don't think you can put all the blame of it on Jr. And as far as Stewart rubbing of on Dale, no he's not, They may be good friends but two totally different drivers. Remember Kyle and Tony are going to be teamates next year, then we will see who bumps into people more .

I believe a better and certainly a less aggressive driver than Kyle would have been able to gather it up or at least kept it from heading into the outside wall. I don’t think he reacted properly to save the car.
Junior may have helped him get it out of shape but Kyle wrecked it. There is an old adage in NASCAR that racers will race each other as they are raced. If you believe Kyle has seen a lot of aggressive drivers this year, well, duh!
As I recall, Kyle couldn't remember where his brake pedal was at least one other time this year. I don't recall Junior saying anything bad about Kyle at the time.
Maybe he finally did, on the track, the way real racers do and have done since day one in NASCAR.
I think JGR made the mistake. I don't believe the "Coach" will be able to teach the boy where his brake pedal is much less when to use it. He’s a numbskull with aspirations of being a bonehead someday.
I empathize though bro as I was and still am a fan of “Ironhead” and I’m beginning to see more and more of Junior’s old man and grandfather in him every year. He raced this year, almost, like his Dad and if it weren’t for a few bad engines and his embarrassing lack of certain “Ironhead” traits………..
I’m wondering what kind of reputation Junior feels like he needs before he can close out his career in the 3 car; most popular or most Cups? I’m putting my money on the hardware.

So its ok for Kyle Busch to be agressive and punt people out of the way? Besides Dale jr owned up to wresking Kyle, would Kyle have done the same if the roles were reversed? It wasnt said if Kyle slowed and Dale jr wasnt able to get out of the gas fast enough, or if Kyle was trying to block him, even though he says he was getting out of Dale jrs way.
To say that Tony Stewart is rubbing off on Dale jr is silly, how quickly you forget about the Intimidator.......

I totally agree 100% I Iove Kyle Busch and he will be a champion!!! As far as the Dale Jr thing I really whole heartenly beleive he didn't take Kyle Busch ou on purpose, and I don't think that Tony Stewart's always a jerk, he just needs to relax a little, he may go out and get revenge, but to take somebody out like that on pourpose for no reason is not his style. GO Hendricks GO~!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nascar is an aggressive sport. Dale Jr. is one of the best drivers out there and one of the most considerate on the racetrack. Kyle Busch is getting a little big for his britches lately. I think Henderick made great choice in choosing to let Kyle go and bring Dale Jr. on board. It only makes their team that much stronger.

I agree with you--Jr is just a mediocre driver has had all the best Cars--Equipment-Knowledge and experience DEI has had to offer for years and has been their #1 driver and still has only 17 wins and 0 Championships. While other drivers who started out at basically the same time give a year or two either way have won Championships such as Tony Stewart-Jimmie Johnson--Kurt Busch--Matt Kennseth!!!!! Hendrick will rake in plenty of dollars off of Jr, buy sponsers--royalties off of Fan Apperal--diecast cars and TV Commercials.

What does Tony have to do with it? Dale bumped Kyle, get over it, he didn't do it to make him crash. When drivers are going over 150mph anything can happen

If Jr learned such a skill from anyone it would have been from his old man SR. believe me, the "Intimidator" has knocked more people out of races than Stewart and the rest of the current field combined!
