HUH? ... Dude just signed with the 'by far the best team in Nascar bunch' and you say "it really didn't pay off"? WTF. If getting a ride with Hendrick ain't "payin' off", I don't know what is. JB
Kyle's contract is up this year. What about Casey Mears contract though??? I can't imagine keeping Casey and letting Kyle go.
My feelings exactly. They were saying on ESPN that Kyle didn't get along with the Hendricks operation and they are tired of him. Might have had a lot to do with the incident when he left the track early and Jr ended up driving his car. For my money, Kyle is the second best young driver in Cup. Hamlin is the best. No one else is even close to them. Love to see Kyle in the 18.
Oh, I didn't realize he didn't get along with the organization. Kyle in the 18 sounds good! Agree with your assessment on Hamlin and Kyle. Both exciting to watch as well.
Meanwhile back at Kyle's house: "Kyle wake up!" "whaa" "Rick is on TV and you'll never guess what." "what?" "Dale Jr. is taking your place next year." "WHAT!!!?" Bwahahahahahaha!!! - Spydertrader
I honestly hope this works out for Jr but I have some doubts that his and Tony Jr's country act will mesh with the button down Hendricks organization. Kyle will win races. His car (and self) control remind me a bit of a young Stewart.
Unlike Tony Stewart, Kyle's alligator mouth writes checks his Chipmunk ass can't cash. We'll see just how much 'talent' the younger Busch has next year when he isn't riding around in the best equipment money can buy. - Spydertrader
