Comments on: Another Arrogant Attitude Racing Weekend for Ole’ Kyle http://motorsportsnews.net/archives/3710 Home of the FREE Stock Car Gazette E-zine Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:01:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Cindy http://motorsportsnews.net/archives/3710/comment-page-1#comment-192564 Cindy Tue, 02 Jun 2009 23:01:59 +0000 http://motorsportsnews.net/?p=3710#comment-192564 My biggest worry is for his girlfriend. I hope the next thing we do not hear is that Kyle was arrested for abuse. She was smart not to run after him. I find his attitude very sad. He is truly a talented driver. His car owner needs to step up to the plate once again and give Kyle a reality check. My biggest worry is for his girlfriend. I hope the next thing we do not hear is that Kyle was arrested for abuse.

This is just scratching the surface, as I can't do tons of research here at the moment, but here's some of Kyle's records, stats, and some notables. He holds the record for most wins in a season with 21. Previous record was 14. (2008) He is the only driver in Nascar history to win 2 Nascar touring series races in a day . (2009) He holds the record for most wins in a rookie year with 5--2 of them Cup. Holds the record for fastest lap time at California in 2005 and it still stands (188.245) and Las Vegas, 2009 (185.995) (Newman's got a lot by the way) He's the youngest ever to win in Cup and truck. He's the youngest to ever win at Darlington. Interesting stat: He has 14 of his wins at 14 separate tracks, only other driver ever to have done that is Lee Petty. Leaving Kyle with only a two time winner at one track...Bristol. He is tied with Gordon for most Cup wins before 25 with 15. Tied with Sam Ard for most wins in Nationwide Series with 10 wins in a season, and tied with Cale for winning on his birthday. First to ever win in the COT. But there's more! At the same time he was the first to win in the COT, get the 200th win for HMS and get Chevy it's 600th win in the same day-Bristol '07. Stats: In Cup --he has started 163 races has 15 wins, 51 top 5's and 77 top 10's. Led 4,033 laps (oh yeah broke the record last year for most laps led in a season) In Nationwide--he has started 150 races, 24 wins, 62 top 5's and 85 top 10's with 5,610 laps led. In Trucks--he has started 60 races, 11 wins, 28 top 5's and 43 top 10's with 1,981 laps led. and in Arca (for fun) he started 9 races, 3 wins, 3 top 5's and 3 top 10's with 267 lap led out of 679 laps raced. So your grand total in Kyle's career is ...(excluding Arca) 50 wins--141 top 5's and 205 top 10's, with a total of 11,624 laps led. Little side note, because of Kyle you have to be 18 to race in Nascar, and because of Kyle, if you're a race car driver in any of these 3 series, you have to watch your mirror some stats a friend of mine posted on rowdy.com that I thought I would share with you and food for thought he may be an arrogant young “gun” but with these stats and given his age (my boys are 19, 20, and 23 it comes with the territory, get over it) how does ur PC correct, soft spoken, pasty card board no real personality driver (this is by no means in reference to all drivers there are a few somewhat colorful and/or very talented great drivers out there, I have about 8-10 personal faves) who has probably been racing for at least twice as long compare?

I beg to differ. All a driver owes their fans is performance on the track. Period. It's those in the media who think that they have a "right" to get a quote or an interview that have things screwed up & backwards. NASCAR mandates that the top 3 finishers must avail themselves to the media...not ALL drivers. The orders of, "Everyone, keep yer mouths shut." was probably the sagest advice given to anyone on Saturday. “Each driver owes it to their fans to be interviewed by the professional media.” I beg to differ.

I also agree they always say all his wins,his wins should only be in sprint to qualifiy him with the great's as Richard Petty and Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson and Dale Sr. Others. Yes he has talent but he has a long way to go to have the professionalism of the All the Great's in Nascar..I also am in favor of the move of Rick Hendrick's move of Dales crew chief,I am and always have been a Henrick motorsports fan..

So what if he does not talk he does his talking on the track and is the most exiting guy out there.
