Did I not say that he makes mistakes? I get what Kyle was saying, and can sympathize with it. But the whole entire point of this post was that Kyle still is that 22 year old kid who can totally take himself out of races by his own doing...

Not sure he is at the maturity level of a 22 yet.

Joey Gase nailed it as far as I am concerned. I don't know much about these two drivers and RWR. But, I do know the effort a lot of these back marker teams and drivers puts into racing each week. Their cars are nothing like the big name teams cars. Just because a driver is 10 laps down and well under the leaders race pace does not mean he isn't driving his a$$ off.
 
Just watching and reading all this Kyle stuff from post race yesterday.....it’s amazing the difference watching Jimmie Johnson’s interview last week when he wreck out and missed the playoffs (saying he had a lot to be thankful for this year, proud of what the team has done recently and optimistic about the rest of this year going into next) compared to Kyle’s tantrum last night. You can really tell the difference of class, maturity, and how setbacks are handled as opposed to just melting down and lashing out.
 
was told he was running high by his spotter. He had clear vision of the 52 car. The 88 squirts by on the top. The 52 gave them the top and the bottom, besides disappearing I don't know what else the 52 could have done to get out of their way.
 
See we need more Sunday Night NASCAR! Just a handful maybe 2 or 3 races a year. It’d probably only work with the west coast races so maybe Fontana can start 3pm their time, Vegas as the playoff opener keep this time they had yesterday. If you’re feeling really adventurous maybe run the Roval at late afternoon/dusk if you can (not sure about the lights situation on the track.)
 
I can only guess that Matt D. is now more grateful to be out from under the JGR machine since their premier driver has no respect for the roots of the sport.

He's a jerk when things don't go his way, always has been. I'm surprised he wasn't hiding in the hauler.

I’ve said this for many years. If Kyle does good, he acts mature, but the second something doesn’t go his way, he throws a tantrum and blames everyone but himself.

So....Garrett Smithley: Zero late model wins according to Kyle Busch

Sure it was. I’ve seen him thread the needle many times, with lesser (in his opinion, not mine) drivers, and he always comes out fine.

I think you already know the answer to that question.

None of the RWR cars were black flagged last night, they all met the minimum reqirements last night.

The team has two charters with the 53 and 54 teams being open. They are not going anywhere, anytime soon. All three drivers Yeley, McLeod, and Smithley did their jobs last night and finished the race. Yeah, they are rolling chicanes, but most of them do their job well in staying out of trouble.

They aren’t going fast enough to crash. :)

Literally no other premier racing series has guys that have never won in any form of racing and go 10 mph off the pace. You can hate KB but also admit when he's right. Unfortunately those with Kyle Busch derangement syndrome can't do that lol

So, if he’s the awesome driver everyone seems to think he is, how come he was the only one to run into the slower car not once but twice? I’ve seen him do many unbelievable things on the track and get away with it, but one slower car messes him up, when literally, the rest of the field was able to deal with it just fine?

I was just relaying his opinion and his quote about "drivers that havent won in late models" I couldnt tell you Garrett Smithley's stats if you had a gun to my head.

You wanna know what really pissed Kyle off? That guy who was doing burnouts while he had to answer questions on why he sucked. He knows he is no longer top dog at JGR

I thought the same thing, and I absolutely love it! I hope Martin continues to outrun him.

I'm frustrated and unsatisfied by this under-powered momentum racing. The extra gravitas of the championship playoffs was a plus. Watching KDB run into everything except the pace car - and then blame his victims for it - was amusing. And I enjoyed Brad K's gritty recovery to finish P3.

I am disappointed that Martin Truex, born and raised in a Northeastern racing family, did not mention Mike Stefanik even once in his three separate interviews with NBC/SN.

I’ve maintained over the last decade that when KB does well, he “acts” mature, and when he does poorly, especially when he takes himself out of a good finish, you get what transpired last night. He hasn’t matured at all. He’s a poor loser but, also is a rather unpleasant winner at times. A little humility and respect goes a long way.

I understand. I guess I was just reiterating your point. Sorry for the confusion

Just when I thought Kyle would be going on a Tony Stewart like tear in the playoffs, he’s headed down the rabbit hole of self pity/entitlement. So much talent wrapped in so little self awareness.

Kyle isn't the driver Smoke was. Tony in his prime would be the best driver in NASCAR today.
