LOL I'm confident and I don't care about having to put that<... Makes the race more interesting. Just don't expect it for cup races lol.. Not quite there on a weekly basis yet. I'm confident he can win any NNS or NCWTS race he enters and will always be willing to bet on it. There are also a bunch of cup races I would bet on but I'm not quite there yet. (for obvious reasons)after a few wins and a bit longer with the new team I'll most likely be willing to make a bet for every race in every series. Not necessarily that he'll win the cup ones but which will finish ahead of the other. So is it from checkers to checkers the next week that it stays up or what?

Until the Cup race is over the following weekend I'd say.

Yeah that sounds good. I'm stil debating on the Joey with a heart or just doing the same as urs to me... think I'd get more satisfaction out of my idea lol... now I just gotta win the bet. I was so close yesterday lol oh well. Im actually glad it was Larson I like him if it was anyone but Joey I would have wanted him or Darrell Wallace to win I like both of those guys.

If KB doesn't win the truck race you can pick my avatar for a week too. Might as well make these races with KB exciting huh?

If he doesn't win? The bet we have is if Joey will finish ahead of Kyle.. I'll take either one though it's up to you. But 5 positions I won't take because that's not fair to you. So pick is it if Kyle doesn't win the race I win? Or is it if Joey beats Kyle I win? Also, I have the same bet with someone else obviously ..so would you want me to keep this pic up? Either that or I'll take your pic and his and put them into one? Up to you.

5 in my favour? Like Kyle has to beat Joey by 5 but if Joey beats Kyle at all I win? Or how do you mean? Do you even know what the bet is?

Yes... I will bet you KB finishes 5 spots ahead of Gumby. The bet is only bragging rights for a few days.
 
Yes, it's great to see him double up these weekends. He's closing in on Petty's record of 200 wins real fast. Only 88 more to go, I think.

Gone fishing!

3/4 of his competition back then wouldn't be able to compete at even the Truck level in todays NASCAR.

Your comparing beans to apple butter. The technology and horsepower wasn't available back in the day.
 
You can't compare them. The King won 200 races at the Cup level. Anyone who is used to driving 85o HP is going to do better in a 600 HP vehicle than a driver used to driving the 600 HP vehicle. If the King had the chance to run in two minor series' he would probably have a hell of a lot more wins than 200.

There is no possible way anyone could know that.
breatheoflife said:
Exactly. A lot more competitive and a lot less chances today than back then.

A lot less chances? Kyle will be running 71 races this year between the top 3 series......


Now I'm not trying to take away from what Kyle has accomplished he is a great driver and will go down as one of the best but if you want to compare him to the King... he still has 174 wins to go. I'd say he more comparable to someone like Darrell Waltrip or maybe even Dale Sr. Like I said I'm not trying to take away from what he's done and I think he will most likely go on to win multiple championships maybe even starting this year. I just don't get why people compare his win total to Richard Petty's. They're not even in the same ball park. IMO

I do agree with that. But there were many races then that Petty won, where the talent would be comparable to a Nationwide or Truck race now a days. Petty didn't race against top talent week in and week out either.

Now your starting to sound like me :p lol aren't you the one who said results are all that matters. Take a look at the W column.
 
Lets not forget how many races per year Petty ran. That's a very big factor.

Like I said this is a whole different NASCAR

You are right, you can't, because the talent and competition through the whole field then was no where like it is today. Many of the King's races were just like Nationwide races today. As I said earlier, he didn't race the top talsnt week in and week out.

Common sense tells you that. Watch some old races.

And how many 50 and 60 race seasons did Petty have? A lot.

Because 200 wins in all 3 of todays series with the way competition is, is just as impressive as his 200 wins. What happened to the King once the talent and technology started catching up with him? He had what? Only 10 or 15 wins his last FIFTEEN seasons?

Petty averaged 34 races per year for his career, which is 2 less than drivers today. He also dealt with an average of 8 major part failures per year, something unheard of today.

I really don't care for his avg races for his career at this point. When he was winning, wasn't he running an obscene number of races?
