First race there in a Nationwide car. I think he ran a K&N mod there last year.

A Certain 9 time USAC winning Car owner and HOFer said to me personally. The kid feels speed and has a natural instinct on where he needs to be and how to get there that I've not seen in many long time veterans.

Kyle is no surprise to me in what he's doing as I've seen the AMAZING of the past few seasons.

Maybe Ganassi should take another look at the driver he passed over for Juan Pablo who IMHO is at a even higher game now.

I wonder what his contract is with Ganassi. For his talent level, it seems that he should be aligned with another group other than Ganassi.

As we all know, their record for driver development is not stellar, and i do not remember the last time they had a chase participant. (if ever???)

True, but key is just get a seat to start with. Look at Kahne, he’s in one of the best seats now.

It just seems like their sprint cup cars are just not that competetive lately.


You are right it is about seat time right now but, at this rate he may not need as much as others have needed.
