The Busch brothers are a couple of babies as far as I am concerned.

That may be. . . But they are two of the best drivers out there right now. As much as I do not like Kyle, that kid can drive.

As far as the accident I thought it was Tonys fault. But that is just my opinion. But Kurt should not have done what he did after the accident. He did that last year and got in trouble for it.

They ain't THAT good. I can't stand Jeff Gorden, but he is 5 times the driver then either of the Busches together. Neither Pee Wee Herman Busch and his brother have near as much dirt track experiance as Gorden, as that is where he got his career started. In fact, I would put money on it that Dave Blaney and Robby Gorden could out drive the busches in equal cars. :Twocents:

I will say that Kyle is talented. His problem is that he can't see the forest for the trees. I think that there are a few other drivers out there that could outdrive them in equal cars. Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson, Robby Gordon, Dave Blaney, Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, Mark Martin, Jeff Burton to name a few. :Twocents:

I agree Gordon is a better driver than the two Busch brothers.


That is why I said they are two of the best out there. Not they are the two best out there. Blaney and Robby Gordon better than them though?  :scratchchin:

I am on the back strech mid level.  I have never been to a track this large.  Being from Virginia all we have around here is short tracks where you can see the entire race unfold at once.  Going to be hard to see such a small part of the race play out. 

This track is big as shit.

I was happy to see Jr. did so well. I am curious how the guy will do with good cars. So far so good.

My boy finished 3rd. Thats alright. . . I guess.  :P

Kurt is my wifes driver, so she will not be happy.

Who knows what will happen in the 500 if they didn't figure out the engine woes. Like always starting in the back doesn't have much affect at Daytona. It sounds like tires will be the main issue. Go Mark and Kasey  :2thumbs:

Two good things today.

1. Tony Stewart finished second and his car looked strong. :2thumbs:

2. Kurt Busch is starting dead last.  :smilielol:

Actually, I just remembered that Dale Jarret made it in too. So that makes three. :2thumbs:

I hope the Daytona IROC 500 is good.......... I mean, everyone of the cars are the same except the driver and drivetrain... Bodies, suspension, wing..... all the same........... Guess I'm too old and remember the "good ole days"........ Hopefully there will be some more made..........  It was bad enough to have restrictor racing to bunch everyone up, but now the aero aspect of the race is the same..........   Again, it's IROC...

Okay, I'll admit this, but I like to see crashes, door to door racing, bumping and banging and lots of it in races. Basically, what short track amature races are. Without them, it is just cars going in boring circles. It would be like watching Football where they are not aloud to touch each other. Let me clarify, I do not want to see anyone get hurt or killed! But I even told me son already, I can see this being to boringest year ever in NASCAR cup because these cars tend to be more stable. I said that if it turns out I am right, I'll never watch Cup races. I'll strictly watch the trucks and the Nation Wide series from now on.

Ah don't worry if the new IROC version of Nascar continues the Busch series (I don't care if they change the name its always going to be Bush, just like its the Winston Cup not the Sprint/nextel) cars will change to the same body design. Give it another year and the lower series will all be running the same crappy CAR OF TOMORROW design as well.
