If Dale Sr. would have done what Kyle done..every body would have cheered him...And he did many times .maybe not under the yellow..but you know he was going to do it in almost every race..but he is considered an angel and a hero.

It really wasn't "Hornaday's Championship" quite yet. It's not like he was leading the points. I find it funny that none of the announcers had really mentioned Hornaday, more so Buescher and Dillon, the fabled "young guns". It looks like Buescher running out of gas may have ruined his chances now.

Also its not like Hornaday (who has already won two championships) doesn't know better then to push the issue with envelope (driving a Harvick owned truck) 10% of the way into the 2nd last race of the year with a hothead like Busch.

Earnhardt and Childress had NASCAR do their dirty work for them. See championship chase involving Mark Martin circa 1990. The result is the same, just a little different method. Both effective. One a bit little less sneaky than the other.

And, if a driver wrecks another driver deliberately does it really matter much if it's under caution or not? If so I'm not sure how.

Kyle Busch can be a great wheelman when he wants to be yet he also can be his own worst enemy, not that he doesn't have enough already. He'll have to win a few more races to be placed along side Dale Earnhardt, Sr., in any category.

I would have to say that Busch is on his way to be placed up with the greats especially with his youth and ability. The only thing he lacks now is "maturity".

Dale wrecked people racing them hard not on purpose, and dale didn't wreck people every race, that's very exagerated. Dale didn't wreck people because he was a whiny little &^%$# like Kyle, who gets upset when he is raced hard. Dale didn't complain when he got wrecked, he just said that's racin. That's why he was respected, sure he wrecked people, but he never whined when he got wrecked.
