Kurt Busch has started trouble in NASCAR before, he's been in some nasty altercations with other drivers and even got his nose broken by Jimmy Spencer...Yes I know other drivers have gotten into hot water, even my faves like Tony Stewart...but Busch got busted by Phoenix police for DWI, and Jack Roush benched him for the last two Chase races...why would Penske want anything to do with Kurt?

KURT BUSCH IS A HOT HEAD FOR SURE, BUT HE IS ALSO A TALENTED DRIVER WHOM PENSKE RECOGNIZED. I'M SURE THAT PENSKE WILL TRY TO REIN HIM IN. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THIS "A" TYPE PERSONALITY THAT IS HARD TO DO. IT HAS NOT DONE A LOT OF GOOD FOR YOUR "FAV TONY STEWART"

I am a Jimme fan and it did annoy me a little bit, but then again it was to be expected, but youre right 42 other drivers yet it seems like every week they only talk about 1 or 2 but this week was just Jimmie, although like i said to be expected.  \n\nAnd I agree with you whole heartedly can't wait untli Boogity Boogity Boogity again.

while I dont really care for Stewart, he deserved more recognition then 11th place. He dominated the chase and under the "old" points system would have finished 4th.  \n\nI still think the whole chase thing really sucks and the ratings are proving that, this year was a race between 2 guys that fans either hate or don't care for.    \n\nA driver wins championships by consistancy over 36 races, not how he performs in 10.     \n\nWhen Kurt Busch won the championship he had a 290+ point defecit erased. Calculating the points through the chase he would have finished 230+ points out of first.  \n\nJohnson would have won this year no matter which system they used, As did Stewart last year (by far).

Gordon is mathematically still in it. I think realistically he is out of it . He would have to win the last 3 races and the guys ahead of him in points would have to crash out early in the race. I think Robby lied about throwing the padding out of the car. What else could he do but lie about it. I just hope that the penalty that he received will make other drivers not do it.

I dont think that should be allowed.  Other race car drivers look forward to at least attempt to make the race, especially when its a one car team.  Micheal Waltrip should have sucked it up and left.

Why is everyone always comparing Jr to Dale, Sr?  He is NOT his father!!!  Give the kid a chance to be himself and earn his own reputation on HIS merits.  He's a darn good driver who has had a bad year but is now bouncing back.  He is Dale, "JR"  get it, he is NOT Dale "SR" so stop comparing them.

YES!  Gordon is gay, he's an idiot, but most of all he's the biggest cry baby ever!!  Nothing is ever his fault, he never steps up like a man and admits his mistakes, NEVER.  And yes, hendricks sucks too!  I will never forget the no talent Vickers wrecking Junior at Talladega and possibly ruining his chance at the Cup.  That little move cost Junior 80 points.  Johnson is also a no talent cheater!  Kleenex should sponsor Gordon & Kotex should sponsor Johnson.  Don't even get me started on that Elf Kyle Busch.  Isn't it funny how they all hate each other except for the two lovers, Gordon & Johnson.  What a crap team!  No wonder Labonte split, can you blame him?  I'm done, they all make me sick.

I like Martin.  He's a great driver, and even though he's getting up there in age, he's still doing really well!  He's a nice guy, and he doesn't start much trouble - plus he's earned the respect of all of the driver's, so you don't hear bad things about him too often.  Even when he wrecks, and is done for the day, he isn't disappointed.  He always seems to be in a good mood.  He's always having a good time, and that's what NASCAR is about in the first place.  I'm a Jr. fan, but I have major respect for Mark.  He's a great driver, and definitely one of my favorites.

That's awesome that you are such a big fan of JR. I am too and it is so sad that some people can't just let us be fans and answer questions like " i am 12 and i like this guy........" or give opinions on subjects that they don't care about just to be rude. I think he is a great person and will do great this year, but if he is gonna win the cup race he needs to focus more on his racing than his ownership responsibilities. I am a huge fan of his. I even have  number 8 shoestrings in my work shoes!

I love Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson!  They are both awesome drivers and are both very hot!  My fiance likes Jr. so I can't down him, he's a pretty cool guy, just not the driver his daddy was!\n\nI don't like Tony Stewart because he is a chunky hothead, Kyle Busch because he's a rodent who whines too much, Kurt Busch because he is also in the rodent family and is an a--hole, Jeff Gordon because he cries all the time, Greg Biffle just something about him!\n\nAnyone who said they hate Jimmie Johnson are just haters!  The only real reason anyone can hate him is because he is on the same team as Jeff Gordon (heck give me the paycheck he gets and I would team up with Gordon too...as much as I'd hate it) and beacuse his crew chief tries to be sneaky (yes...it seems Chad Knaus tries to get away with cheating)...but none of that is Jimmies fault!\n\n...and as for you NASCAR#8 above, you shouldn't cheer for ANYONE to hit the wall!

Ok   you were doing good for a while... but Tony Stewart, Harvick, and Jr. do not belong  \n\nJr although a fan fav has not performed in cup series and would definatly have to win a championship or at least be on top of his game for another 8-10 years to even be considered!\n\nHarvick is up and comming  but he is another one who has not been conststant in cup. I think we can all agree that he can dominate busch but cup is the big game and no matter how much i like him  I would need to see more from him before consideration.\n\nTony Stewart would probably be your only arguement with me... he is very in-consistant  yes he can win like 6 races in a row, but the rest of the year he sucks!! He does although have 2 championships and i guess no matter how much i don't think he deserves them  that that alone would put him in contention...\n\nYou did However leave out  Dale Sr., Richard Petty, Sterling Marlin, Darrel Waltrip, and many more Old Timers that deserve recognition!!

By no means am I a Tony hater! I think he is one of the best drivers, not to mention he will probably win the championship...again.  I think Tony is an awesome driver, and I think everything he does is part of racing. We can't blame him for being aggressive, he only gives what he gets.  bumping is just a part of racing, and to be #1 you have to get in there and do what you gotta do.  Smoke has what it takes to win.  I am personally a Biffel fan, however, I have to give credit where credit is do.

Dale Jr. is a true southern gentleman.  Do you see getting mouthy with the press or being nasty toward anyone?  He was brought up with a great respect for racing and for those who participate in the same.  I think after his father's death and his corvette fire incident he is a more spiritual person and that is helping him focus better this year.  Also, you don't see him with fancy models hanging off his arm do you?  He's a honest, hard working, fun guy.

Wow, I wonder if it hurts to be that big of a moron (a select few above answers)\n\nI think the go or go home policy is good, but it should be done by driver points. I give a darn that your teammate is really good and can save your rear..No, prove your dang self.. \n\nSome of the times they really need to reevaluate the double file restarts. Hello.. last race in the chase in 2004 anyone?? Yeah, I rest my case. I know they have made some adjustments..but sometimes it still realy irks my bubble. \n\nI think they should really re-format the chase. Three years, and I still can't get to it. It makes Nascar more about luck than ever before. A great skilled driver can miss the chase b/c of some crappy luck. Jeff Gordon last year. Tony Stewart is sitting in the do or die seat right now, b/c he's had some bad luck with accidents, but not b/c of his skill as a driver. \n\nYa know, I really don't have a great answer to this..b/c quite honestly, I don't know. I mean, it's hard to say as a spectator what would be better for the well-being of the sport. I suppose that's why I sit in front of my tv screen everday, and don't sit in the big exec chair.

Smoke won it last year.\nK Busch is on the pole\nJeff G has usually has a good run on the road course\n\nThose are the only three I can think of.\n\nStay away from Jr,and Edwards (I love him), but doesn't seem too confident.\nJr gets fustrated quickly. (that's my opinion)\n\nAnother one...Maybe Boris,because os his F1 experience. \n\nGo to NASCAR.com I find  it helpful.

ROFLMFAO!\n\nIs this the guy you're talking about?\nhttp://www.nascar.com/2006/news/headlines/cup/05/30/tstewart.update.dover/\n\nThen yes.\n\nNow the real question is: Does Tony Stewart have shoulder pain because he was rapelling Jeff Gordon (at Brokeback Mountain)?  j/k

Yes, I am pissed off. I love Tony. I feel bad for him because he fractured his scapula and I hope he doesn't miss any races. I'm just glad that whiny, spoiled Jeff Gordon crashed.\n\nI agree with you, no way will Kasey win the championship, It'll be either Tony or Dale Jr. \n\n\nTONY ROCKS!!!!!!!!
