Hopefully Penske can get his cup ride turned around and he can have the same kind of success on the cup side. He certainly has the talent to get it done. 2. 18fan posted: 11.06.2010 - 4:31 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) First loss for Kyle Busch at Texas with Gibbs. Great restart by Carl to grab the win. 3.

When has Kyle ever not whined about something, Carl beat him fair and square..end of story.He needs to just move on and concentrate on the cup race tomorrow. Impressive early run for Ricky Stenhouse, sure his car went away later on but still seeing him up front and leading was a nice surprise. 5. DaleSrFanForever posted: 11.06.2010 - 5:16 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I'm happy for Brad, Paul Wolfe, and everyone on that #22 team. They have been rock solid all year. Yeah, his Cup season has been beyond disappointing, but I'm a lot happier about him winning this title than I expected. I spent so much time dwelling on the negative, his bad Cup season which I feel was compromised by this, but I am really happy for him and his family. I still don't like seeing Cup drivers win NWide titles, but he was the best non Cupper the last two years, so he deserves a championship in this Series. NOW, make sure Paul Wolfe becomes the crew chief of the Blue Deuce next year. As soon as the Homestead NWide race ends Saturday night, send him directly to the Cup shop at Penske South and let him spend the winter working on those cars to get the feel Brad likes in them. Send them testing at every non NASCAR affiliated track (Memphis, Gateway, the Nashville Fairgrounds, Rockingham, Wilkesboro, VIR, Texas World) so they can get the feel of the Cup car. Also, VERY VERY VERY happy that Justin Allgaier has a ride next year (with Hendrick Motors!!). Also happy for Brian Scott getting a full time ride at JGR. Almirola has a good ride, Trevor Bayne does too, and is apparently being groomed to move to Cup. This is all good news. 6. 18fan posted: 11.06.2010 - 5:40 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Allgaier is with Turner Motorsports next year to drive full time along with Sorenson, Leffler and a few other part time drivers and will also drive some Truck races. 7.

Congrats to him for doing so. Hopefully now that he has this trophy under his belt, he'll focus on building better chemistry and contending in his Cup car with his Cup team. Brad no doubt has the talent to do it, and Penske is a winning team, so they need to be spending this winter trying to get better. And Carl goes from #3 to #10 on my dislike list because it was very cool of him to congratulate Brad the way he did. I think it's evident that those two get along great off the track. And I'm overjoyed to hear that Justin Allgaier has a ride for next season!!! I'm surprised it took this long. Hopefully he'll have as much success as he did this year. The Gibbs rampage on Texas with Kyle Busch comes to an end. Ricky Stenhouse was very impressive in the early stages of this race. Earlier in the season I said that he needs to curb the crashing habit, and for the most part he is off to a good start on that. 9. rw posted: 11.06.2010 - 7:31 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Alright Brad, you won your Nationwide Title (really proud by the way) NOW FOCUS ON CUP!!!

However i hope that he focuses on his Cup effort next year and the sponsers back someone young guy who doesn't have a shot. But like that will happen. *sigh* Well DP finished where she did last race, PIR will give her trouble. I wounder if people will complain about Elliot Sadler racing full time next year for KHI. 11.

Bronco posted: 11.06.2010 - 8:55 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Way to go Carl. If anyone was going to break Kyle's lock on Texas it was going to be the only 3 time Texas Cup winner. First championship for Dodge in the Nationwide series, after not having even won a single Nationwide race the past two seasons. The last time a Dodge won a championship for any kind was Ted Musgrave's truck championship from 2005. If NASCAR does ban full time Cup drivers from competing for the Nationwide championship, then I'm going with Elliott Sadler for next year's championship, with Aric Almirola second. I'm going to predict Sadler winning at least three races, with one coming at Daytona or Talladega. 16. potatosalad48 posted: 11.06.2010 - 9:24 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) So happy to see the #18 get beat @ Texas and the #22 get the championship.

DaleSrFanForever posted: 11.07.2010 - 10:05 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) "Hendrick engines DSFF" Thanks. I could have swore I heard "Hendrick" in the deal somewhere. Still a pretty sweet deal. "Anybody keep track of how many times the ESPN crew said "history"." Lol. They use that word so much every week, I've sort of tuned it out. It's like background noise to me. I do tip my hat to Kyle for winning 6 in a row here (mark this moment!). But calling it history is a stretch. Their other buzzwords, which involve the GoDaddy Girl, are "not her fault" "learning" "wasn't her fault" "steep learning curve" "that DEFINITELY wasn't her fault" "really showing improvement (while running 25th)". Enough already. When you qualify as bad as she does in good equipment in a watered down field, and run there throughout the race, you will be involved in skirmishes more often than not. She has shown ZERO improvement, and still has no idea how to drive a stock car. Quit insulting us. While we're at it, here is my prediction for next year's points (assuming NASCAR does the right thing): 1) Aric Almirola- I look for a somewhat slow start as they get used to each other, but around late spring, I look for Aric to unleash the fury. He has been hardened by this sport over the last few years. From having to be what amounts to Mark Martin's relief driver in the Army car in Cup, to the absolute, indefensible debacle at JGR, hopping from car to car on a part time basis, and being pulled from the car at Milwuakee just so Denny could win the race, to getting lost in the shuffle in the DEI-Ganassi merger, he will appreciate this full time opportunity, and I think he'll make the best of it. Possible road block: if he gets "Mark Martin-ed" and JR Motorsports transfers key people to Danica's program to try the futile effort of getting her up to speed. 2) Trevor Bayne- I think Ford is gonna make a huge jump next year in Cup which will trickle down to their NWide program. Trevor is fast and is getting a head start in the last few races this year with Roush. Possible road block: if they get too focused on his seemingly inevitable transition to Cup. 3) Justin Allgaier- They have good people in the Braun/Turner team as they can somewhat hang on to the Cup guys, and HMS engines. If everything on this team holds together, combined with Justin's talent, I think he'll have a good year. Possible road block: Everything I just mentioned is a BIG "if". I'm not saying I distrust the Turner people, but I don't trust them yet. Something about this whole deal seems a bit shaky. 4) Brian Scott- A full time JGR effort and Brian is a good driver. I'm sure JGR will have excellent New Generation cars next year (the ones that Kyle Busch bashes JGR relentlessly for being behind on). Possible road block: Even though they won't be eligble for the championship (again, assuming NASCAR does the right thing), if Kyle and Joey feel Brian is getting better stuff than them, they will pitch a fit. JGR will have to make sure they get better stuff than Brian so their whiny, spoiled, primadonna Cup drivers can get their moments of glory on Saturdays, otherwise they will pout and pack it in. 5) Reed Sorenson- a less talented Justin Allgaier. Assuming Turner keeps him full time. 6) Elliott Sadler- Sorry guys, I just have no faith in Elliott. He's a nice guy, but he has lost what little bit he had at one time and thensome. His confidence is non existant and he is very self defeating. David Pearson always says "if you show up to the track thinking somebody is better than you, then you've already lost". Elliott has already lost. There will be some lofty expectations on him in the emerging KHI organization with RCR support. When he doesn't meet those, he will withdraw mentally. I just think he is finished. If I'm wrong, I will be happy for him, but I personally doubt it. 7) Steve Wallace- I look for more of the same, solid unspectacluar runs with 4 or 5 good runs spoiled by dumb mistakes on his part (which, yes, is a big improvement from the 14-15 it used to be). This guy's progress is slower than a Kevin Conway qualifying lap. 26.

Yes, please do that. When he comes back next year maybe he won't be wrecking Kenseth and Reutimann and going to back up cars, perhaps he'll have some semblance of car control. "She has shown ZERO improvement, and still has no idea how to drive a stock car. Quit insulting us." Ah, I just love the inherent bias that's in pretty much everything you say. This was only her 11th start in the series (not consecutive either) and you're bashing her for having no idea on how to drive a stock car and having shown no improvement. Then on the flip side, your buddy BK has several years experience in Trucks, Nationwide and Cup and still can't control his car on Sundays, and yet you go around throwing suggestions on how to improve his Cup team while blatantly ignoring his lack of progress and improvement. Then again, you bash Shrub and Harvick for winning anything other than a Cup race while praising for BK for dominating the minor leagues so I'm not surprised. I guess it all depends on where someone rates on your like or dislike list that you put up last week. "Sorry guys, I just have no faith in Elliott. He's a nice guy, but he has lost what little bit he had at one time and thensome. His confidence is non existant and he is very self defeating." Haha bullshit. Have you not seen what Elliott has done this year in his limited Nationwide and Truck starts driving quality equipment? A win, two poles and several other top 5s and runs up front always. His record shattering pole lap at Texas proves that he's still got it. 27. Mike posted: 11.07.2010 - 1:07 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Speaking of Elliott, I am extremely happy to see he got a good ride in Nationwide next year. He's proven in his limited Nationwide and Truck races he still has the ability to run up front and contend if given the car or truck to do so. I think it will do him good to get out of Cup for a year and run for the Nationwide championship, and it could be what turns his career around. If NASCAR puts restrictions on races the cup drivers can run in the series then Elliott has a great shot of winning multiple races and being a serious contender for the championship. 28.

Blatently ignoring? Do you even read my posts? And there is one HUGE difference: Brad has won a Cup race within the past 2 years. In HMS part time equipment, he showed he can run up front. The GoDaddy Girl has shown nothing in stock cars. I throw around solutions because both Brad and Penske Racing have proven themselves. Now have to find a way to make it work together. "Then again, you bash Shrub and Harvick for winning anything other than a Cup race while praising for BK for dominating the minor leagues so I'm not surprised." Since the summer started, when it became obvious the #12 team was heading for a disaster season, have I ever not mentioned how disappointed I am in the Cup effort? And how many times have I mentioned that Brad is part of the problem? You have a serious case of selective amnesia. "I guess it all depends on where someone rates on your like or dislike list that you put up last week." At least I had the balls to post one, unlike you. You just hide in the shadows then jump out to insult me. "Haha bullshit. Have you not seen what Elliott has done this year in his limited Nationwide and Truck starts driving quality equipment?" We'll see what happens when this becomes his full time job and expectations get placed on him. Look, I get that you don't like me or my viewpoints. That is fine. I don't expect people to agree with them because we are all different. I post my thoughts to get other's thoughts on the same situations and whether or not they agree or not. But don't bring certain viewpoints I have made in the past up while conveniently forgetting other viewpoints (I disappointed in Brad's Cup season, I wish he'd forget about the minor leagues and get up to speed in Cup, Brad is part of the problem with this Series). 35.

Wasn't just Martinsville, it was Sonoma and New Hampshire, add that to the fact that he's lost any hope of a good finish a couple of times by whacking the wall (Atlanta and Fontana) and you've got a guy who isn't in control of what he's got. "The GoDaddy Girl has shown nothing in stock cars" Did you read my post? This was her ELEVENTH start in this series (see, I can use caps to emphasize my point too). What exactly do you expect out of her? Are you expecting to be running up front with the 18, 22, 33 and 60 simply because she drives a good car? Even Aric finished only a mere 6 spots ahead of her despite all his experience. If you saw the Fontana race, she was running in the top 15 before the crash, which was the only time she has been to a track more than once. That proves that she just needs more seat time to get adjusted to the cars and track before the good finishes come. "In HMS part time equipment, he showed he can run up front." Uh no, in 15 starts in part time HMS equipment he had an average finish of about 21st, with a win, three other top 10s, a DNQ and a grand total of 9 laps led. That's called running up front? I guess we have different definitions of that term then. 36.

It's his 3rd win of the season, but only the 2nd where he didn't have to wreck half the field and nearly kill someone to get it (okay hyperbole there lol). Kyle Busch fails to win in Nationwide at Texas for the first time since joining JGR (6 races). Brad Keselowski's 80th top ten in 137 career starts clinched the Nationwide championship. His 5.3 average finish is good enough for the 3rd best all time by a Nationwide driver, but more properly it's the 2nd best average finish in the last 5 seasons since Cup drivers have been winning the championship. Joey Logano gets his 22nd top ten in 23 Nationwide starts this season; his 4.9 average finish is 2nd best on the season, behind only Kyle Busch's 4.8 avg fin. Martin Truex Jr. has his 3rd top five in 4 Nationwide starts this season. It's his 40th top five in 101 career starts. Jason Leffler has 6 top tens in the last 10 races. Reed Sorenson sets a new career high with his 20th top ten of the season (in only 26 starts). Steven Wallace has his 1st top ten in the last 11 races. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was the highest finishing rookie in 11th. He also led a season-high 27 laps (career high is 46 at Milwaukee in 2009). 40.

OK, that's 5 races out of 34. So roughly 1 out of every 7 races he hits somebody (or in Sonoma's case, lots of people) or scrapes the wall. I think Kurt Busch has hit the wall that many times in the cha$e alone. That is a pretty weak point. His problem hasn't been car control, it has been a lack of speed. "Uh no, in 15 starts in part time HMS equipment he had an average finish of about 21st, with a win, three other top 10s, a DNQ and a grand total of 9 laps led. That's called running up front?

"Are you expecting to be running up front with the 18, 22, 33 and 60 simply because she drives a good car?" No, but I expect her show SOMETHING. At least finishing on the lead lap. 41.

I enjoy reading the "anonymous" Kyle Busch fans thoughts in any given comments box :). Being that Kyle Busch has had a history of jumping restarts and getting away with it, if Carl jumped this one, I'm not gonna feel bad for the habitual restart-jumper. Replays shown before the Cup race displayed that Carl basically hit the gas as he got to the first line. To me, it looked like Carl possibly hit the gas like 5 feet before he got to the line. This is not different than Kyle does any given race, but when someone beats him with his own trick, he has to cry foul. That's the definition of a hypocrite. 42. DaleSrFanForever posted: 11.09.2010 - 10:40 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Watto, I agree 100%. Kyle has done way worse on restarts, and if Carl did jump the start, it might have been by even less than 5 feet. And for him to pitch a fit like that is just classic Kyle. He is really folding under the expectations that he has placed on himself. For although his "NASCAR win total" (a complete crock of shit) keeps rising, he still hasn't done anything really important or memorable in a good way (although I have many precious memories of him constantly melting down in the cha$e, with the Cup race being the most fun to watch). 43.

Reading comprehension never seems to be your strong suit. 48. RCRandPenskeGuy posted: 11.09.2010 - 11:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) "No, but I expect her show SOMETHING. At least finishing on the lead lap." She would have had a lead lap finish at Fontana if she weren't wrecked, but overall I agree. She doesn't belong in Nationwide yet. The fact that she scored top-10's in her only ARCA as well as K&N Pro East start is evidence that she needed to start down there first and get some experience. 49.

There's a certain person who posts anonymously and always takes the pro-Kyle stance in every single situation, regardless of circumstances. It appears to be the same person because of his writing style and repetitive use of certain phrases. Yes, he's right that NASCAR sometimes lets people get away with borderline jumping. BUT, nothing's said about it when Kyle's the one jumping restarts. If NASCAR chooses to let any given leader get away with jumping restarts, then that DOESN'T mean "selective enforcement". Therefore, his statement wouldn't be correct and obviously was said as a Kyle apologist. Since reading comprehension is something you can belittle other people over, I assume that I won't have to reword/rehash. 50. 18fan posted: 11.10.2010 - 12:53 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Good point Watto. The only times NASCAR black flags the leader of the race for jumping a restart is if it is extremely blatant(Rusty Wallace, fall 1997 @ Martinsville). However, they are quicker to black flag anybody else because it is easier to enforce. 51.

Clearly against the rules and not only did he get away with it, the announcers talked about how amazing it was. For whatever reason the media wants to make a God out of this guy, but I think NASCAR is getting just as tired of him as we are. 52.

So he jumped the start. 54. Cooper posted: 11.10.2010 - 3:21 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Carl jumped the restart, no doubt. My dad was watching the race, which he rarely does and asked me why the leader was 10 car lengths ahead? So if a non fan realized it was unfair, then it was unfair. Theres really nothing you can do about it because it is hard to enforce, but I think the best system would be the Indycar sytsem that allows the officials to wave off the restart and allow them to try it again. 55.

That's not exactly a valid reason for arguing that Carl jumped it. Sometimes the leader gets a good jump on completely legal restarts and has the same lead going into turn 1. I think Carl jumped it by about 5 feet according to where the restart lines are, but I'm not positive. 56.

In all fairness, the rule at the time said the leader had to restart in the "vacinity" of the cone. HE was within a one mile radius of that cone (barely). So technically he restarted in the vacinity of the cone. 57.

Different officials, but if one was a jump so was the other. 58.
