kathleen O asked in SportsAuto RacingNASCAR · 1 decade ago

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the fact that Kyle Busch has the best average finish of any of the other Chasers?

Update:

I'm talking about the two Chase races. His average is 4.5. He was 50 pts behind #48, 40 pts behind #24 and 30 pts behind #20 at the beginning of the Chase. Now, he's 10 pts off the lead. He's a great driver, far better than little e.

Boy, that's going to upset the bottle throwers out there.

    Because he is not going to win.

    Nobody likes the Busches they think they deserve it instead of having to work for it.

    It doesn't matter what your average finish is, in this day in age, well, you need to win. Nobody cares who finishes second.

    If he ends up winning the Championship, he deserves it. Consistency is what wins Championships in the new Chase format, but winning is what really makes you a true NASCAR champ.

    I like the new format, but i also feel it takes away from the Nascar greats achievements. How many Championships do you think Earnhardt Sr. would of won w/the new Chase format. I'd like to think more, but we'll see how many drivers can do what Earnhardt Sr., Gordon, Petty, etc. has done, Championships and Wins!

    I find it interesting how many people feel they have to bash drivers they dislike. I did notice that Kyle is the only driver with two top 5s so far in the chase that no one else has. He and Clint have earned the most points in the Chase. How many will say Nascar was unfair if he does well or wins the Chase, and Jeff loses another championship?

    What ever happened to, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all?

    The term "lame duck" fits Kyle this year.He is running for the championship and is not going to be with the team if he wins the championship.

    But hey thats fine he is proving himself.

    I noticed this also, its probably because he is on his way out at hendricks....and Jeff and Jimmie get all the press coverage and attention, and people are talking about Jr going to hendricks next yr.. Now if he wins a race soon, then people will notice him..

    the media won't be able to ignore him after he wins the chase! Go Kyle! Kick some butt this year and double next year at Gibbs! Kyle will give Toyota their first victory next season!

    I think it's awsome. I've never doubted that he is a good driver. Don't put him down by comparing him to JR. Most everyone out there is better than JR. I look forward to seeing him over at Gibbs.

    Because he's not one of the big name drivers like Gordon, Johnson or Stewart. They get most of the press coverage. Personally, I hope he kicks their a$$.

    I just don't like anyone named Busch, no matter how you spell it.... Matter of fact, I've asked, and been approved, to remove(shave) my gf's bush, simply because I don't want to have to mention that name in my home......

    Because he's a Hendricks Guy and the haters don't care who it is, or how good they are they are just jealous and big haters always and it's really getting old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you go shrub!
