How many laps will it be before Kyle is leading?

:D
 
There he goes. Lap 55. Dang that boy is a wheel man.
 
A guy brings a million dollar budget down two divisions and leads a race. Really, I'm just shocked.
 
Someone else said KB could not pay his bills and was broke. :confused:
 
I should have went to New Berlin. Maybe Johnny Benson is racing there.
 
Has James Buescher ever finished a race without hitting something or wrecking?
 
If they don't want them to be racy, they need to put more sandbags in the back of the truck. :D
 
Suck it!

Bush had no place marching in there while the celebration was going on. Kudos to Todd for sticking with his guns. Now Shrub has to fly to Atlanta on the Germain plane! :D

Everybody knows the only thing you accomplish driving up on the outside of a truck in the turn is you suck the inside guy around and spin him out and that's what happened.

The interesting thing is that if you look back a few laps before Todd spun, TODD ran into the side of Kyle.

Pot calling the kettle black?

You're kidding me right

...maybe Kyle should be penalized for passin' him
 
congrats to todd for winning the race. i don't see the big deal about todd losing control of his truck when kyle passed him. the point of racing is to win and you do that by passing everyone that is in front of you. kyle didn't hit todd and there's no rule that i know of mandating a safe passing distance from trucks/cars around you. nice pass imo. todd getting loose was a bonus since he was kyle's main competition. it's to your advantage if your competition has problems. pretty straight forward to me. what *could* be questionable to *some* (not me) was kyle confronting todd in the winners circle after the race. i'd rather see that than a boring interview. it was spontaneous and emotional. no punches were thrown, although that wouldn't have bothered me either. <g> much ado about nothing (again) imo.

So now we can't pass on the outside on a corner???That's the bumbest thing I have ever heard.
 
I don't understand how Todd could say Kyle drove "dirty". I'm not a Kyle fan by any means, but he did what he's supposed to do, pass people to get to the front. He drove Todd clean.

I don't think Kyle should have gone to VL to talk to Todd. IMO, that should have been done privately. However, Todd did call him out on national TV...so maybe a public face-to-face was required.

Anyway --- water under the bridge. Congratulations to Todd's team for making a gutsy call and making it work.:beerbang:
 
I think Todd's remarks take into account a little more than what he felt was wrong last night. Twice now since the Bristol Truck race he's been on SNR voicing his displeasure with the way Kyle drives. Most specifically because of what he did to Jennifer Joe Cobb. Kyle's already under his skin so it probably didn't take much for him to feel the way he did about what happened to him last night. He may have reacted differently after watching a replay, who knows?

Anyhow, congrats Onion!

In my opinion, what he has had to say about Kyle's driving might would carry more weight if Todd himself had never knocked anybody out of his way before. To me that's just the pot calling the kettle black.
As for last night. Kyle passed him clean. I guess Todd has never passed a truck on the outside and the one on the inside get loose. Again, pot meet kettle.

Firstly, the incident with Jennifer Joe Cobb has NOTHING to do with Todd. He doesn't have a dog in that race as far as I can tell.

Secondly, I think Todd is just whining because he's getting his ass kicked by Kyle on a regular basis.

Not to say that Kyle isn't a whiner at times. I say get up on the wheel and figure out a way to win instead of wasting time *****ing on a talk show.
 
Passing coming out of the corner is a sure fire way to cause the car below to spin. But that's ok.

Why did the officials allow the whiner to get into VL and confront Todd? Anyone with two active brain cells would know nothing good could come of it.
He's lucky Todd is relatively good natured as jabbing a finger into anothers chest could result in serious injury to the finger jabber by the jabbee.:)

Why is it always assumed that these other drivers would kick Kyle's ass? I am not saying that it couldn't occur but what makes you think that Kyle couldn't kick some ass himself. He may do some stupid stuff sometimes, but I don't think he would go down there if he didn't think he could defend himself as needed.
 
Be interesting to see him jab his finger into Todds chest if they were alone.
Only reason he did what he did in VL is he knew the officials would stop Todd from pounding him into the ground like a tent peg,,,:beerbang:

Because he hasn't had his butt kicked yet and doesn't know any better.
