Don't Count Kyle Busch Out Of Sprint Cup Chase Yet!

Driver — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 15:43:26 +0000

By: Keith Bloemendaal

Kyle Busch finished 34th at New Hampshire last week due to a bad setup on his M&M's Joe Gibbs Toyota Camry, dropping his points lead to a deficit of 74 points and an 8th place ranking.

This trial of patience and maturity will test the younger Busch brother, as he fights to regain the points lead he had worked so hard to keep all season.

We cannot count him out yet. As much as I personally would like to count him out of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase, he has proved us all wrong this season, as he dominated in veteran like fashion.

Most of us have predicted the immaturity would reign supreme when the going got tough for Kyle Busch. Amazingly, this kid keeps getting back on his horse when he get bucked off.

Maybe it's time to give him credit for running one of the best seasons we have been able to witness in years. I know, to those of you who just simply hate him, well, because he is sometimes out of control, mouthy, will do anything to win attitude (sounds like the way some of the greats used to be criticized) it will be difficult to give the young Busch any credit.

A look at the rest of the Chase says we can't count him out yet. Kyle won at Dover, Talladega, and Atlanta earlier this year, and finished 3rd at Charlotte and Texas.

Looking at the year he has had, it would be tough to count him out. We can surely hope though!

Jimmie Johnson 3Peat – Is it Sprint Cup History in the Making?

Driver — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:14:17 +0000

By: Keith Bloemendaal

For some reason, I had been thinking this was going to be Kyle Busch or Carl Edwards year to win the Cup. It is easy to wrapped up in what is happening now, and forget about the other 12 drivers in the Chase for the Cup. How can we rule out Jimmie Johnson?

Johnson repeated his championship run last year, putting his name up there with a handful of GREAT drivers including Dale Earnhardt Sr, David Pearson, Richard Petty, and Jeff Gordon just to name a few who repeated championship seasons.

This alone is an accomplishment which makes him a driver to be remembered in NASCAR history. Repeating a Sprint Cup Championship is no easy feat, especially in this era of racing, when the competition has never been more intense. NASCAR drivers are getting younger, faster and more clever. Some people think once a driver reaches 30 he has past his prime.

Sprint Cup drivers like Kyle Busch and Kasey Kahne are emerging at very young ages while just next season 18 year old Joey Legano will drive the #20 Home Depot Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing.

So, if Jimmie Johnson were to 3peat his name would only be mentioned with one other driver, Cale Yarborough. Can he do it? We will find out over the next 11 races, but I can guarantee you Johnson thinks he can, I think he can, thousands of other fans think he can, even a handful of so called NASCAR experts think he can. But, that doesn't mean it will happen.

Just in case you forgot, Johnson was 6th in points after the California race last year. It was his unbelievable 4 wins in a row out of the last 5 races in the Chase that earned him his championship last year. He won at Martinsville, then Atlanta, then Texas, then Phoenix and finished 7th at Miami-Homestead to beat Jeff Gordon by 77 points. Yes, 4 races in a row! If Jimmie Johnson can come on that strong for the finish this year, he WILL 3peat!

What do you think, can anyone beat Kyle Busch, or Carl Edwards? Can Jimmie Johnson 3peat? What about one of the other 9 drivers that will be in the chase? Leave a comment to let us know your opinion.

2008 Nascar Controversy Will it effect the Sport?

Driver — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:06:53 +0000

From: The Sporting News Mar 13, 2008 06:42 PM |
In this Winston Cup season we've had four races and a lot of verbiage from Tony Stewart, Jack Roush, and Toyota on several issues, and some are celebrating this outburst of verbiage because it somehow has brought the sport's "personality" back. The sport, according to Brian France, needed to "show more personalities."

So what has been the net gain for the sport from these eruptions?

Some point to surprising spikes in TV ratings, notably for Vegas and Atlanta, as evidence that these outbursts are galvanizing fans back to the sport. Perhaps Tony Stewart and company screaming in the media has had some effect, but it's impossible to believe that it can sustain any improvement in the sport's popularity, especially given the continuing low quality of the competitive product on the racetrack.

Daytona was an exciting race. Fontana had some good racing in spots but hardly enough of it. Vegas wasn't much to write home about, and Atlanta wasn't any better - enough that it caused comment from H.A. Wheeler about the COT, "If this thing doesn't work, let's fix it and let's do it right now."

MD80891 remains a most perceptive analyst of things NASCAR and he has noted among other things what most people overlooked about the Atlanta weekend - the radical change in weather from day to day and its effect on setup. His comments remain must-reading when discussing the on-going tire controversy, for as critical of Goodyear as I am in a general sense, what it comes back to is the COT and its role in both tire issues and general raceability or lack thereof.

Just having "personalities" is not going to benefit the sport long-term. This sport would have seen similar spikes in ratings - not to mention stronger crowds than have generally come through track turnstiles - if the races following Daytona had shown the same competitive depth the 500 showed.
