It seems like Kyle Busch has been driving better than Tony Stewart lately, or is that just because he's driving a Hendrick Motorsports car?

I think maybe in the future Kyle may be better than Tony. He has a lot of natural talent. I can't wait to see how he does in Gibbs equipment.I also can't wait to see how Jr does with Hendrick equipment though. Don't forget that Kyle has had the best in the business as mentors.

I feel like they are both cut from the same cloth, and will fit well on the same team next year. Both are good racers, though I don't usually root for either. Kyle has a bit of maturing to do, and I think we will see him win a championship within the next five years. Well, if all goes well with this whole Toyota switch. Tony is in a slump right now. I feel that Kyle is better than Tony right now, but not overall.

No. Tony Stewart is an IRL champion, a two-time NASCAR champion, and has 32 Cup victories. Kyle Busch has no major championships and 4 Cup victories. Tony is a better, smarter driver; he's just not having much luck right now.

I'm a Tony fan, and I'm a Kyle Busch fan. And, honestly? As far as race skill goes, they're about the same. It has nothing to do with who they're racing for. (Just because HMS admits to having a seven shaker post thing, it doesn't mean that they're the ONLY team who has it. JGR isn't exactly a small team, either.)
If you didn't notice, Kyle won the Truck race on Saturday in Atlanta, and it wasn't in a HMS truck. (I don't even think HMS HAS any type of truck program). In fact, I believe he's the only driver to have won a race in all three of the "major" series in NASCAR. (Trucks, Busch, and Cup). And Tony can pretty much race a cockroach on wheels and win. He was competitive in the first few CoT races before he ran into misfortune. He's just had cruddy luck this year.
I think Gibbs in general is lacking lately because of the fact that they're going to Toyota next year. I'm sure Chevy isn't giving them the money for R&D that they were giving them before, and any money that they DO have is going towards working on the cars for next year. Gibbs is going to be the banner team for Toyota, because they're the only non-start up or lower eschilon team that's sponsored by them.
Kyle and Tony are WAAY too much alike. Part of the reason I LIKE Kyle is because I see so much of Tony in him, both racing wise and attitude wise. It's going to be...interesting...to see if one of them decks the other one during the next season, and when. (My bet is that they won't even get out of Speedweeks without a lecture from Coach Gibbs...)

Smoke is just having a bad streak right now. But Kyle is good, but needs a little more time on the racetrack. But since I am a die-hard Tony Stewart fan, no he is not better.

i do no longer think of Jr took Kyle out intentionally, it quite is component to racing, Kyle became slower and Jr. got here up on him a splash too quickly and did no longer decrease back off in time, in basic terms somewhat have been given below him . they now and back call it bump drafting . you should bear in ideas additionally that Kyle has completed an identical difficulty to many different dirvers besides, which consists of pushing aside his very own brother Kurt. So i do no longer think of you may positioned each and each of the blame of it on Jr. And as far as Stewart rubbing of on Dale, no he isn't, they could be stable acquaintances yet 2 completely diverse drivers. bear in ideas Kyle and Tony are going to be teamates next 12 months, then we can see who bumps into human beings extra .

KYLE B maybe later on in his life might be a good driver he needs to settle down some i mean if nascar has to tell you almost every race and your car owner tells you to settle down then settle down and quit driving the car side ways into the corner your gonna cause a wreck .

I think Tony has got the talent and Kyle has got the equipment.

...If I have may facts straight I believe all Hendrick cars are set up with a 7 post shaker which they have been working notes on since last year sometime. Hendrick has a jump on working out those numbers and what they mean and how to apply them to setting up the cars.
...I believe they roll out of the shop set up pretty much the same which is why you see all of those cars run similar come race day. They have to do very little more to those cars to get them the way the driver can compete (which leads me to believe Gordon sandbags a lot).
....The only way you can truely compare drivers is have them in the same equipment.
