I just hope Mark Martin has some good "luck" if he steps into the #5 next year.
kyle was #3 on a 4 man team last year and he is #1 with JGR and its their year so of course he is the leading man that stable righth now. of course JGR 15-20 hp advantage all season has helped too. when thet redo the dyno runs at michigan hopefully everyone else will have caught up.

if you follow nascar you know it goes in cycles.... it is JGR this year, Hendrick the last two years, Rousch before that and so on....

to say that luck doesnt play a little part in anyones season/race is a little silly. stewart has had good equipment but has had some crappy luck this season.

Yes he caught a break when he pitted before the caution.

Yes he did dominate the race. He came from the 30th spot at the start and led 78 of the 110 laps. Virtually unheard of at a road course. Only 4 others led a lap.

Serious about what?

Busch was 3rd on the totum pole at Hendrick last year.

They did dyno runs at Daytona that showed JGR built engines got 15 hp more than RCR and 20 more than Hendricks cars. Not bashing just saying JGR is building some great powerplants this year......

Amen brother!! I started watching NASCAR when i was about 8 years old with my dad and uncle.. 34 now. Petty was my favorite, he was still winning back then, not as much then as his earlier years. No one will touch his 200 wins, i don't believe....he wasn't racing slouches back then either, Yarbrough, Pearson....

Personally, i am not a Kyle Busch fan at all...but he is on a hot streak right now..

I think jimmie johnsons end of season run either last year or two years ago was much more impressive than kyles run this year

yeah i saw that too. but the ATH guys arent exactly nascar followers. they rarely ever talk nascar on that show. and when they do they usually look like idiots, case in point comparing kyle to tiger. lets see kyle do this for the next 8 seasons and then maybe we can start that comparison. tim kalashaw is the only one on that show that knows a little about auto racing.
