This thread is like the current media. The REAL racers are being lost in the media circus of a novelty act.

But Shrub's performance in Nationwide cars is rather amazing. At only 25 he has now lead more laps that any other driver. Just how great will / can he become? In some ways, he hasn't even reached his prime. It is almost a big story when he doesn't win.

Like some others (like Tony Stewart, DW), his mouth has gotten him in trouble, but he seems to be mellowing a bit in that regard. He still hates to win so much that when he doesn't he is a bit of a whiner, but is that bad? He REALLY wants to win everything. The difference the past year or so is that he doesn't give up when there is no hope of a win and he isn't running into people as much. He is getting all the car has.

I am starting to like the guy. He is sure fun to watch.

Correction: That should have read

"He still hates to lose so much that when he doesn't he is a bit of a whiner" Need more coffee.

Can we please get back on topic here please. Danica stinks! LOL!

Lil Busch is rather amazing. I know people can't stand him but the kid can drive anything...he reminds me of PT when he was coming up. Obviously KB is already "up" but the ultra aggression win at all cost is admirable.

I can't stand him but you're right about his talent. He doesn't wreck himself as much as he used to and it's showing in his finishes.

That was barely a light tap. I'll go back and look again, but I don't recall that any part of her car was hit hard enough to do any major damage... was it? If I missed something, please clue me in. But I didn't see anything.

Unlike another member here (*cough cough* Bob! :p :) , I will accept a correction when I see or someone points out that I'm wrong. Here I was. I watched the replay and I did see that the left(?) front of Danica's car did smack the wall. So it's possible that her steering was knocked out during the incident with Shepherd.

well when the Toyota program is basically second to none, its pretty easy for him, pray the new car will start evening out the playing field, the Toyotas seem to just have more power over the rest of the field

Although I'm at least as guilty of doing it as others, you are on the mark. And it is being noticed by others as well.

Rumor has it that there were other drivers in Saturday's Nationwide race besides Danica Patrick. Not sure I believe it, but let me check the stats ...
... hey, how about that? Some guy named "Kyle Busch" won. Good for him. But back to Danica --
... okay, kidding. The Danicamania is back in force -- not Daytona levels, certainly, but bad enough -- so let's throw a little bit of love in some other directions. Patrick has a lot to learn, yes, and there are plenty of positives she can take from her run, yes, but let's focus on another momentous event: Kyle Busch is now the all-time leader in laps led in the Nationwide Series.

Danica, Danica, Danica. Kyle Busch wins. Danica, Danica, Danica

Danica, stay in the shallow end of the pool . . . . . . better known as the Izod Indy Car Series.
