We will hopefully end up with a full field of 32 trucks. Nemco will
probably bring the #87 and maybe Niece will bring the #38. I doubt B.J.
McLeod will be in the NBR #57 Chevrolet because B.J. will be in the
xfinity race at Iowa. Tommy Regan will probably drive the #57 truck.
Wonder who will drive the #44 truck?

4. Not? Well, you shouldn't be watching the next three races, because
he'll race in all of them (Pocono, Michigan, Bristol) to get to the
limit of 7 races each year. And of course, to get even closer to Ron
Hornaday and his record of 51 wins.

Also another chance to make it 3 in a row and join Kevin Harvick, who
won those 3 races in 2011 like it was a piece of cake.

8. You don't read the news, I guess. Kyle was supposed to make 5 starts,
but added 2 extra starts due to his deal with Banfield Pet Hospital in
the #46. And was also able to give Todd Gilliland some extra starts in
the same Truck as well - only the sponsorship is different (Pedigree).

BS? Hmmm... Cup driver running just 7 races in his own equipment is a
BS. Of course, when it's Kyle Busch, huh?
But the real reason than catching up to Ron Hornaday is completely
unimportant, according to your logic. Kyle does this to get some money
from sponsors, so that his rookies could have some team to prove
themselves. I really doubt he would be able to run 3 full-time Trucks
plus one Truck part-time without his ocassional starts...
But no, all you ignoramuses see is just his "stupid" ego of beating
young kids and robbing them for wins... It's a symbiosis - Kyle wins
races, sponsors are satisfied and rookies have some elite equipment.
Everyone is happy - well, except you, people complaining all the time.

Kyle Busch running this series will always be a pathetic thing no matter
how much Kyle Busch fanboys try to belittle people for getting sick of
seeing him steal wins from truck regulars.


And yes, any truck race with a full time cupper in it is a BS race.

So I will be skipping this race and the next two because of pathetic Kyle.

KBM/toyota camp seems to be one of the few teams in nascar to
consistently be developing drivers, such as Erik Jones, Christopher
Bell, etc. So Kyle Busch running a race or two isn't horrible, id like
to see him not run these races, but if it means funding his team im not
against it.

BKR is running fine without needing Brad jumping in a truck and running
all the time.

If Kyle can't getting funding for his team without having to jump in the
truck then he is doing something wrong. Thats just another BS excuse
Kyle fanboys have come up with.

Kyle's ego is what keeps him in the trucks and nothing else.

Drakion is the typical example of a hater, that can't stand somebody is
doing what he doesn't like. Just like Stewart14Rocks said - when it's
for the funding, there shouldn't be a problem with it.
Hell, how can you have a problem with 4 starts every year, anyway? Yes,
it's a Cup driver, but in HIS OWN equipment. Just because he wins almost
every Truck race he starts, it doesn't mean you have to hate him for
that. 4 starts out of 23 races in a season are literally nothing.
Of course, with these new limits, Kyle is just trying to complete his
last quest in this series as fast as possible and that is catching up to
Ron Hornaday. That's why he increased his number of starts to 7. But I'm
sure he'll back off to 4 or even less, after he catches him.

When you mentioned BKR, do you see where they are without their boss
support? They're nothing against KBM... Their rookies can't win more
than 2 races each season and even their Buschwhackers (Keselowski,
Logano & Blaney) have never won more than once in a season. Not to
mention Brad always finished second to worse till Bristol 2014 and
couldn't get a win in his own equipment. The same for Logano until
Martinsville 2015.

24. For somebody like Brad Keselowski, who won 7 times from 16 starts in
Xfinity in 2013 with Penske and Joey Logano, who won even 9 times from
22 starts in Xfinity in 2012 with Joe Gibbs - yes, a horrible thing.
It just shows how weak those BKR Trucks are - can be consistent, but
wins are wins... And even such a good drivers like Keselowski or Logano
won't fix that without the good equipment.

There's a reason why William Byron literally flushed Kurt Busch's rookie
record of 4 wins in 2000 with his 7 wins last year... Two more wins and
he would tie Greg Biffle's record of 9 wins and even Ron Hornaday or
Kyle Busch haven't won that much races in one season.

Whatever Mannoroth, the fact remains no matter how much you foolishly
try to continue to defend your man crush Kyle Busch the majority of race
fans are sick and tired of seeing him run the trucks and stealing wins.

So go ahead and keep being his dependable pom pom girl, the rest of us

26. The majority of race fans are inconsistent fools that let their
emotions speak instead of the facts. When their driver doesn't win,
NASCAR is rigged and others are cheating... They can't take a look at it
without putting their emotions into it. Right, YouTube users?

There's a reason why some people here dislike Kyle Busch racing in
Xfinity, but have no problem with his 4 starts in Trucks. Because it's
in his own equipment and they don't care he still wins a lot.

Rhodes' pole was not popular among many of the fans this reporter spoke
with at Pocono Raceway.

Many of them seem to resent Rhodes -- the highly experienced 20-year-old
grizzled veteran of zero Monster Energy Cup races -- depriving the
young, underfunded, up-and-coming driver Kyle Busch of a well-deserved
pole at the last minute.

These fans are cheering hard for young Mr. Busch, as they feel a win
here today might propel the budding star to bigger and better things in
the future. Busch might even achieve his dream of racing in a higher
series if he is able to attract the attention of a major Cup owner and
sponsor, and finally rid himself of the inferior equipment he's been
forced to work with up to this point.

There's no telling how good this Busch kid can be, if he can only catch
a break at the right time.

@44 other than the fact that was obviously accidental and this looked
pretty blatantly deliberate. The type of move Kyle would've made in the

Disappointing to see the current state of this series.

Luckily, ThorSport, GMS, and KBM bring 10 good trucks every week,
although each of those teams employs an undertalented pay driver (Yes.
I'm low on Grala - 2 career top fives, only saving face due to a
COMPLETE fluke win - and Gragson - 2 top fives in 14 starts for KBM).

After that, all there are are Brad's two trucks, and the #8 and #16,
both overachieving as it is to even run with the multi-truck powerhouses.

Beyond those 14 full time trucks, the only other reasonable entries are
the #02, a strong mid-major limited by funding, the #52, decently funded
but underperforming, the #66, which can run well when funded, and the
#99, which has admittedly run well in some races but has also S&P'ed and
didn't even show up to Pocono.

All that's left are the part-time #22, #75, and #92.

After that, nothing.

Since RHR closed, there are no more than 16-20 solid trucks in a
32-truck set field size. It's approaching ARCA levels, and it's no good
for the series.

Just a normal racing incident between Kyle Busch and Justin Haley - that
can happen from time to time.

As a Kyle Busch fan, I should be complaining a lot about Haley, but I'm
not like that... because it was a normal racing incident and Haley is
learning - I think he will now pay more attention to his spotter and
cars around him. ;)

This race marked Kaz Grala's 4th consecutive crash DNF. To my knowledge,
this is the first and only time in Nascar history a driver had 4 crash
DNF's in a row (if there are other examples I'd love to know).
