Kyle Busch's crew, because he's such a punk
Logano to be next year's whiny punk?
Here's my prediction, next year Logano drives the 20 car and becomes the new whiny punk on the block. Kyle Busch will ascend to a Jeff Burton-esque level of statesmanship in comparison forcing Busch-haters like myself to grudgingly root for the shrub.
Just a prediction.
Man. Talk about wasting little time jumping on the Lagano Hatewagon. I haven't even seen enough of him to recognize him in an airport yet and Wester here is ready to start the Rowdy chapter of the Lagano hate club. Sheesh. At least let him dig his own hole first before you start throwing dirt on him...

"Sports Illustrated" recently had a big write-up on NASCAR recently (the gist of which was safety is much, much better than it ever used to be), but they also had a blurb on Logano (or maybe it was "Sporting News"...I read both religiously). They said he has the cunning of Jeff Gordon, the raw skills of Kyle Busch, and the attitude of Denny Hamlin. That last bit bothered me...as I have seen firsthand that Hamlin attitude. IMO, Denny is the last person you'd want to have your demeanor judged to be equal to. Why can't we find more kids with a "good" attitude? Is an arrogant attitude now a requirment to be a Cup driver?

Racer X, you make a good point, but Wester isn't the first to say that this kid might have a big attitude problem. All I'm adding is that if true...it's a disappointment. It's a given that none of us really know the true side of these drivers, but on that note I give a good bit of credibility to the beat reporters who see these guys on an almost daily basis.

I'm just saying if he acts like a spoiled teenager it will be disappointing. He's already shown some attitude in the Busch series. Kyle has surprisingly acted like a grown up lately which makes it hard to dislike him. My post was in a joking manner, I don't hate any drivers really.
