What a dick really if you gonna have PR advisers and stuff you should try and keep the hidden not tell the world you gonna try and brainwash us with a PR blitz.

Most drivers are bi-polar. You name the driver -- each has their jerky mode -- and each can be downright nice people. On one hand, you get a nice, charming person who can really be a nice person, hug kids, sign autographs, etc. The other person is a complete jerk. They are the driven, competitive jerk, focused only on driving. Try to talk w/ them in their jerk mode, and you're gonna get your head taken off (been there done that).

I've met Kyle. When I talked with him, he was having a good day at Michigan, and was quite talkative and friendly. I've also seen and heard the same "bad Kyle" stuff that you've seen and heard. So, is he a jerk? Well, it depends when you talk to him!

I hear tell that Barry Bonds also has some good moments, but I don't believe it. :D

I must've seen him on a bad day. He looked like he just ate something rotten and was a jerk.

Who does he drive for again?



















OK, I know, I know. Basketball, right. Scored lots of home hoops in baseball, or something, to do with getting an icing in hockey. I never did understand lacrosse.

Kyle is a jerk? oh wait a minute...hold the presses. No, not all drivers are jerks just sometimes, and not all jerks are jerks all the time, but I think Kyle is more likely in his true nature to be a jerk. As opposed to Mark Martin, who may have been a jerk once, but people cant remember it. Ditto for Jeff Burton....some people just have a tremendous amount of poise and class, no matter what, and while most people slip, good ones admit they were dorks. At least Kyle admits he is a jerk at times, so there is hope for the guy I suppose.

He's also smart enough to know he has a 'bad role model' to NOT follow, his older brother and has mentioned it.

I think that Kyle's quickly moving into the "used to be a jerk" category. The press certainly has noticed a difference. Any Penske employee is gonna be "assertive" but most know how to play the game, and it looks like a couple of years of Penske-ites around Kyle have educated him.

Michael Waltrip used to be seen as a jerk, and now people think that he's a great guy. Kyle Petty is seen as a great guy too. Well, I can assure you that both can and will get pretty excited when things go wrong -- witness Petty's broken hand -- but both have learned how to chew a&& away from the cameras.

Kurt in many ways is just a more polished version of his little brother, the shrub, until he snaps,and tries to run someone over in pit lane.....

They have anger issues, which happens in young drivers, but I do think the Busch's have a sense of entitlement that has really warped their view of life.....maybe Kyle being around the Gibb's will help, but then again, with T-Stew snapping once or twice a year, he might be worse

I thought Kyle handled himself exceptionally well after fridays busch race when that bad call by nascar cost him the race win.However i do hope that Kyle will still speak his mind,he makes so many great comments.
