Imagine for a moment if Dale Earnhardt Jr. was driving with the agression and assertiveness of Kyle Busch. Would they call him a jerk, or say he was a chip off the old block?
X:)
Given the crap that Kyle has pulled all year, I would say that if it was ANYONE but Kyle, it would've been dismissed as a racing deal. It was simply the fact that it's the fourth or fifth time he just happened to get into the next guy racing for the win, just this season, that got us talkin about it. If it were DaleSr and Terry, we'd bitch for a couple o days, then call it a racin deal, if it were Jeff and Matt, same thing, if it were Rusty and Ricky, same thing, ad nauseum... The fact that it is Kyle and he's been doin a whole lotta takin and not a lot of givin this year leaves him open to bein nailed to a cross by the fans.
We fans get mad at Jeff or Jimmy when they win a whole buncha races and stink up the show fair and square. Of course we're gonna get a little outta joint when Kyle keeps wreckin people for the win. It gets a little old after a while. Maybe for the fan who turns in for the wrecks, it might be a little exciting, but for the hard core fans, it's gettin real old real quick.
No brainer. CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK . Deep down the Jr Nation only wished Jr would/could drive like his daddy.
Ok, here's the thing...Earnhardt can race with agression or he would not be pulling from the back to the front every week...that's for one. Another thing is Kyle Bush is an idiot out on the track and has not the repect for his fellow racers that Earnhardt consistantly displays. They can both drive their cars well, of that there is no question, but when you act like an ass all the time (Kyle) people will get pissed. And that goes for off the track as well as on!
