He's one of the best drivers, in terms of raw talent, in the sport. But what he has in talent, he lacks in brains. That's what separates him from Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart. It's exciting to watch Kyle Busch but, at the same time, he pisses a lot of drivers off with his lack of sense and those drivers usually have too much to lose by retaliating. Usually, the drivers he pisses off are too busy contending for championships to retaliate. This time, Kyle finally pissed off someone who's got nothing to lose. If Kyle's contending for a championship and Ryan's not, Ryan will park his ass. And then there's Kasey Kahne. The day's coming real soon when he decides to start standing up for his rights and when he does, Kyle's team is going to be spending a lot of time in the fab shop. Brad Keselowski and Kevin Harvick also have plenty of reason to knock him out.
Tony can be an ass at times but he's not a genuine dick. Everyone respects him and people like him. Even Kurt Busch, for the most part, has mutual respect. Kurt has an anger problem but most people think he's actually a good guy. Kyle, on the other hand, I've never seen anyone in this sport who acts with such contempt towards, well, the whole world.
