Who can stop him?

Who is going to stop Kyle Busch this year?

I think it is going to be Carl Edwards.
Jeff Burton is also being constantly toward the front so far this season.

Re: Who can stop him?

Who can stop Kyle Busch?

Himself and his team. And crashing...

I firmly believe that the way he's driving, no other driver can stop him. Now, if his team fails to give him good cars, if his pit crew flubs his stops and he commits some kind of infraction that handicaps him, then of course, he can be beaten.

Just to make an additional point: I don't know if people are aware of this but in the Darlington race this past weekend, his pit crew was penalized for a loose or missing lug nut and was sent to the end of the longest line. This penalty put the #18 car in the 29th spot on the track at the restart! For most other drivers, this would spell the end of the day but when it was all over, we all know who won! Coming from 29th spot! That's two-thirds of the field back!

Who can stop Kyle Busch? Kyle Busch!

Re: Who can stop him?

Kyle Busch will stop himself, he will wreck out of atleast 3 races this year. He's getting WAY to confident and hes becoming cocky.

Or someone will put him in his place like a mark martin or bobby labonte.

Who can stop Kyle Busch?

The plan in the last race was to spin him out on the last lap. But, no one could get close enough.

Now, we're going to have to rely on the NASCAR technical inspectors to find something wrong with his car after he wins the next race. Or, even better, we can ship some of those wheels from Roush over to Gibbs Racing. Then we can pick him up after he hits the wall at Lowe's.

Re: Who can stop him?

During the race on Saturday DW and Larry Mac were talking about how the 18 team was having a problem with Kyle. The Problem was: He was going to fast. Not a bad problem, if anyone can stop Kyle it will be Kyle himself.

Re: Who can stop him?

Who could stop Kyle? Hamlin, Stewart, anybody at HMS except Mears, Edwards. That's probably about it. But it's still a lot of drivers to stay in front of.

Yeah, I'm a big Kyle fan, but I'm way nervous about HMS. JR, for instance, is a few adjustments away from running away with the championship himself, and you gotta know we haven't heard the last from JG and JJ.

Re: Who can stop him?

I have to agree. Kyle is his own worst enemy. He deserved the win at Darlington but honestly, 4 out of 5 times he will not win the race being as aggressive as he was(at Darlington). That track will bite you and I think he got away with one. I cannot believe how many times he nailed the wall and kept going. One of those times could have easily taken something out of adjustment.

Darlington is really the one of the most difficult NASCAR, other than road courses. Kyle Busch drove like a seasoned driver. Sure he hit the wall a few times. He had a fast car and somehow protected his equipment. Other tracks should be easier for him.

With that said from a voting member from the Junior Nation.... I think that's called respect. Kyle Busch just needs to continue to earn it.

of course there are different kinds of respect.

He certainly has the respect of ALL the other teams in Nascar, and it would look like he doesnt want to look like a nice guy whilst his t-shirts and hats are selling like hot cakes

leaving HMS was a blessing in disguise

Clutch, I meant "I respect Kyle Busch's driving ability." He basically has the same equipment that other Gibbs Racing drivers have. And probably all other Toyota cars on the track. He took the Darlington track on and conquered it in an amazing style. Not many drivers have ever done that, and done it that well. So... I don't know what kind of respect you were referring too. Is it all this stuff about him bringing his mama to Darlongton with him. Or, if you're still upset about the Richmond race, you need to get over it and move on.

Our local chapter of the Junior Nation is concentrating on the Allstar Challenge this weekend. We'll be there when the gates open at 2:00 pm Saturday. It's a non-points race, so Kyle doesn't have to worry about building more respect with the Junior Nation. He gets a free pass for this one. I'll check out his shirt and cap trailer to see if there are any Junior Nation strays looking to switch.

I'm sure he's got all the other team's attention, but I'm not so sure he's got the respect of ALL the other teams in NASCAR.
Maybe one day, but not right now.

I guess you can say he's building respect one bumper at a time.

Re: Who can stop him?

At this point he's unstoppable.

There's nobody currently on the NASCAR circuit who could stop Kyle Busch.

It would take the combined effort of every driver to try to stop him through unsavory means of intentionally wrecking Kyle or blocking his progress.

Man for man, car for car, team for team there's nobody out there performing at his level.

Normally I'd say Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson but those 2 just don't have there hearts in it this year. I think they are both probably speanding more time at home with their families.
