Not to belabor the point too much, but for those who seem to take exception to the comparisons between Kyle Busch's driving style and Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s, here's a bit from Little E himself:
“On the racetrack, there may be some comparisons there,� Earnhardt Jr. said Thursday. “He’s fast. He’s running well. He’s quick. He’s aggressive.�
“That’s the way dad raced and Kyle has that same style,� Earnhardt Jr. continued. “Very aggressive.�
Of course, coming from Jr. , I don't know if that is necessarily a compliment. He has said previously that he thought his daddy's racing style was too agressive at times...
