Kyle seems to be working pretty good with his new team mates. So maybe the team mate problem wasn't all Kyle.

Here's what I'd like to believe. After being let go by one of the sports premier teams he has matured somewhat and decided that it is better to be a team player versus the wanna be leader. There's no secret that there are personality clashes within JGR. If he just gives it his all maybe he can rise to the top of JGR and become an asset instead of a liability.

Agreed. He just needs to let his driving do his talking.

I almost hate to admit it, but I am starting to like the way he drives. I hate points racing, and he sure can't be accused of that!

I agree that he is starting to mature a bit. That is a vey good thing for him.

Agree strongly! Seems that beginning perhaps around the last 1/3 or 1/4 or thereabouts of last year, up to now, signs of immaturity are few if any. Problem he will have is a great number of folks will require him to be perfect gentleman forever and will see even a justified outburst as - see, he's just like he always was. Whatta ya gonna do!?

Re: Points Racing - yeah he's pretty much "Katie bar the door!" to date.

Kids got car control like few out there today. That's not to say he would not move to smart racing if things get down to the wire and a finish of - "the best we can accomplish without possibly becoming a DNF" - is the decision. But we also do not see this scenario as "points racing".

Lot more fun to watch than his brother.

And every time we see Shrub make one of those "Holy Crap" lane changes, charges (not the penalty earning type), rear end hangin' out, foot still in it moves - we find ourselves pleased he pulls it off in hopes that others would join in the fun and make it REAL entertaining.

Nope, HMS dont miss him one bit. He is still to aggressive, Done tore two cars up today. Who wants to bet how many more? I say 7

Here is my take on the Casey Mears vs. Kyle Busch.

Kyle was already a better driver, far more marketable, and much more popular than Casey, before Kyle ever left HMS. So this is a none issue.

The bigger issue is who will benefit more by the switch Joe Gibbs Racing or Hendrick Motorsports?

In my personal opinion, it is Joe Gibbs Racing who has already benefitted more by the switch. Kyle has already gotten the Gibbs drivers, crew chiefs and engineers having team meetings after each practice.

Gibbs had tried this before, but because the drivers driving styles were so different, it really never worked. But Gibbs now has three drivers who like to have loose cars. There the sharing of info is benefitting all three drivers.

In time this kind of teamwork will bring in the wins and the championships will come. And people will be saying "Hendrick who?"

Well, a lot of good drivers have torn up cars this weekend.

Bobby Labonte tore up his cup and NW car. Do you think he is too aggressive???

These tires are just crap this weekend. Everyone from Mark Martin, to the newest rookie out there is having issues!

when you come in second or lower and wreck or cause a wreck youre too aggressive ..... if you win and cause a wreck you may be just aggressive enough

I kinda agree with ya but to go from last to first in 64 laps with over a hundred to run is aggressive. He should take care of his equipment alittle better. He's still young & has alot to learn but I belive he pushes his car to hard and blows his chance.

Finding a cure for cancer would be a nice start. Then maybe he could tell us the full story behind D.B. Cooper?
