I too fell asleep, and have always liked Busch. But I am not saying he is fully matured yer...Wow, fell asleep last night after taking my pain meds and didn't get to see the end of the race but damn, Kyle Busch is the man. 👍 I'm probably one of the few people that liked him way back when no one else did, but I held on knowing that if he did some maturing, he would be something great. Well, he is well on his way and I am proud to be a fan of his. "KB18FAN"...anyone remember that name from around here?

He is one of the greatest. Lets be honest about that. Also, I love when he wins Nationwide Races. Why? Because the dude loves to race! Not only that, but he is getting practice. He knows how nuch that helps him. Everybody who doesn't like it, that is their problem.
(I know I can freely admit I'm not and I'm 50 years old. ) At any rate and as far as Kyle's participation in the lower series, I spoke about that earlier in this thread and just to expand on it a little more, let me say this. I do agree with everything you said. It can make the racing fun/exciting (or whatever word you wish to use) to watch him, or any of the other Cup regulars for that fact, to watch and yes, it does give them practice/knowledge for the Cup races when their held at the same tracks. They have every right to race in the lower series and I don't have a problem with it. However, and on the other hand, I just think its a bit unfair, maybe, when these young up-and-comers have to compete against the more experienced drivers for wins and to have their day in the spotlight, so to speak. That's my only argument about the subject. And yes, I'm well aware of all the counter arguments that people can come back at me with and I fully understand and respect those points. I will say this though with a chuckle, it does get old sometimes, depending on my mood I guess, seeing my favorite driver beating up on these youngsters just trying to win a race. Its almost like everyone else is at an unfair disadvantage. Race on Rowdy.... race on.
A lot of what I say in here is in reply to the general fan response, if I was responding to somebody here in particular would of quoted themIf this is directed at me because of what I said about NASCAR and their artificial cautions, I really don't appreciate your comment about being "a day old." I have followed NASCAR since I was around 5 years old. I have worked at MIS in various capacities for 6 years and then was off to Roush Racing for another 4 years as a second man welder/fabricator. I think I can safely say I have some very good knowledge of NASCAR and its inner workings and how things function. NASCAR has changed greatly in the time I have known it and been involved in the sport, and that does include the amount of caution flags thrown, for no apparent reason. Yes, for the most part, caution flags are warranted. But, there are a growing number of incidences where the yellow flag is thrown for an apparent piece of "debris" just to group the field back together. That same piece of "debris" would not have even been acknowledged back in the day, no matter how strung out the field was or how uneventful the race was. Nowadays, NASCAR will create a yellow at the slightest hint of something on the track if they feel the race is not exciting enough or not really playing out the way they want it to with close racing. All this caution clock garbage is, is just a marketing/PR stunt that's turning racing into one big circus. Its not racing and its not what racing is about. A guy races his ass off and runs off to a big lead, has the field covered, and your going to throw a caution flag to bunch the field back up just because you want closer racing? Give me a 🤬 break, there are other ways to achieve that if that's really what has to be done to keep the fans interested. Personally, if a guy gets out to a big lead, or the race is otherwise uneventful, it really doesn't bother me because that is the type of races I am used to seeing unfold when things happen that way. Like I said, I have a lot of experience in and around NASCAR, and in recent years, it has really turned into a circus. I won't say that I will ever stop watching because of all these changes because it is a sport that is and always will be a part of me, but it is getting to the point where it is just not as enjoyable as it once was for me. @Ganon83 You are right, bringing in this caution clock thing wouldn't really change a thing, but that's because NASCAR has really already initiated it....they just needed a name for it.
So apparently Dale Jr. listens to this
🤬
We'll just have to wait and see.
