I really don’t understand why, He’s exactly what I’ve heard people saying that this sport needs. For the last couple of years I’ve heard over and over, Nascar is making the drivers be too PC. No one says whats on their minds, during interviews they just stand at attention and give off a staccato burst of sponsors and praise for their teams without really saying anything and now we have a guy who says whatever he’s feeling at that precise moment and what do we hear from the fan base? He’s cocky! He’s a SA! Somebody needs to reel him in! He’s out of line! Make up your minds is what I want to scream out, pick a position! It just seems to me that no matter what happens or what decisions are made the complaining never ceases!
and just for the record, The Kid can drive like nobody’s business!
Go Kyle is all I can say!

Great Blog
Well put. It seems like when Kyle or Tony speak what is on their minds they are called cocky, arrogant or what but if it was Jr most people would praise him for being honest. It’s ok not to like a driver but when you start making nasty comments then you’ve crossed a line. Great Blog Blue. Hope to see more sometime.

Great blog!
No kidding! First they cry drivers aren’t aloud to speak their mind. Then they cry that there are too many penalties. The cars are too spread out. Drivers are just going in circles and not racing!
Then they cry about drivers speaking out, drinving to win, or that the cars are too bunched up. Then afetr saturday, I saw three blogs crying about how some cars had space between them?
These aren’t Nascar fan, they are Obsessive Compulsive Whiners! All they care about is complaining! They only watch to see what they can complain about next!

Good topic Blue
I think some of this complaining about Nascar crack’n the PC Whip is mainly do to Kyle “only”. I think if it was anyone else, namely Jr. it would be praised upon. It would be like “wow” he’s show’n some emotion,,,, you go Jr.,,,ect. But; because it’s Kyle and he’s in our face each week and in all of the Nascar Series Events and do’n his deal the peoples are just gett’n fed up with him woop’n on our favorite drivers. I also think allot of those complaining are …. or seem to be newer Nascar Fans and have only seen (PC) responses and gentleman racing for the last 5+ years or more, and just don’t know any better and have not seen the older rac’n of years past. Where, bang’n, rub’n and rac’n-hard was the norm. They wouldn’t have seen the old pit road fights and the post race / crash responses from the drivers while in the heat of the moment. It may take a few more drivers to break from the PC hold and I think the majority will enjoy the new rac’n and personalities,,,, the way it was meant to be.
I think Nascar is do’n the right thing now……and think the rac’n is so much better now …

I agree with RowdyPenny. People can sit and say that Kyle sucks as much as they want….but they need to face reality. Kyle is incredibly talented!!! He’s kicking butt this year and taking names. If you don’t like his attitude or what he says during an interview..fine..but don’t say he doesn’t deserve to be here. And for all those Junior fans….it’s no wonder you are Junior fans…you’re cry-babies just like him.

Driving
Nice blog – everyone has their opinion about drivers – the one I have a hard time with is saying Rowdy can’t drive – really, 7 wins and he can’t drive – how’d he manage that. I heard one fan say all the other drivers are scared of him and that is why he is winning because they won’t race him as they are scared he’ll wreck them – really?!! That one made me laugh – Smoke scared of Rowdy – Jr., Gordon, Johnson, etc. all scared of KB. Doubt it.

A lot of so called fans
turn out to be hypocrites. Yes, they are. I too have been complaining about the drivers becoming way to PC. You could almost guess what a driver was going to say in an interview: We got a great car and all the guys in the shop did a great job to give me a great car and all the thanks go to my team. And I also wanna thank my sponsors blah, blah, blah. How boring. Why even bother to interview them. They are not saying what they really want to say. I want the drivers to be themselves and say what they really feel at the moment whether it is PC or not. That’s what keeps it exciting for me. And I can be very forgiving for something said at the heat of the moment and I wish everybody else could be too. We want excitement, well by God we got it and I for one am a very happy camper.
