Question

Do you think kyle busch will win this year (2008) nextel cup?

Answer 1

no way ,still a long way to goooooooooooooo

Answer 2

He is on his way to a championship but once they reset the points after the 26th race, it's anybody's guess

Answer 3

He has one of the better shots at it.  He has the best attitude for his driving style.

Answer 4

even though  I do not like the boy he has a very good chance in winning.  In the past few years he has made the chase but seems to falter in the end.  We will see if this year is different, he is on a mission.   But so is Junior.  I hope he prevails before Kyle.

Answer 5

I think that he can win this year becuase he has been consistent and has proved that he has a good team and cars behind him.

Answer 6

He may very well win the cup this year.  But I thought Jeff Gordon would last year and the Chase system screwed him out of it.

Answer 7

He's setting himself up to be in a good position too, I can say that much.

Edit: Iggy do you have ANY proof of this? Or are you upset at how well he is doing? From what I hear he is one of the nicest racers out there when it comes to giving autographs

Answer 8

Nope, and I hope he does not get it, due to his attitude.

he can drive that is for sure, but he is loosing his fans fast, due to attitude....

he will walk away from a fan and turn his back to keep from signing an autograph, this is wrong.

no one said he could not drive...he can for sure....but does not have the heart or attitude to hold on to win it...

Answer 9

He has a great shot at winning the cup this year. I think his toughest competition in the Chase are going to be 99,88 and 48

Answer 10

Sure, he is ahead by 79 points and there are only about 4000 to go.

Answer 11

NO- at least I hope not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 12

I say he has a good shot to win the Sprint Cup. His chance to win the NEXTEL Cup is over.

Answer 13

Woah. It's only half way through the season. I hope he does. Just as long as Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson don't get it, I'm happy.

Answer 14

actually, he's 79 points ahead now, but these points will all be erased come loudon later this year.  IF the chase started tomorrow, he'd be dead even with carl edwards (both with three wins), twenty points ahead of those who have won one race, and thirty ahead of the rest of the chasers (who haven't won a race yet).  

so, will he get in the chase - the magic 8 ball says "it seems almost undeniably so..." (knock on wood).  will he win the championship, we'll have to see how he does when the pressure is on...  but he'll be a contender...

EDIT: Iggy, are you kidding me?  the kid is gaining fans so fast the bandwagon needs to be made into a double-decker, and in large part BECAUSE of his attitude.  i've been his fan since before he got to speak on national tv, and the only way he'll lose me as a fan is if he loses his attitude... as for not signing autographs, check out the "faqs" page on joegibbsracing.com.  tony, denny, and joe gibbs will not sign anything sent to them, but kyle will.  sometimes drivers just have to say "no more."

Answer 15

He is definitely good enough to do it but with his attitude he will be gaining more enemies than friends on the track. There are about 10-12 really good drivers who could win this thing and anyone who knows racing knows that there is more luck involved than skill (tires, engines, belts etc....) This thing is wide open!!!!

Winners certainly could include #18, #88, #24, #12, #31, #07, #11, #20 and of course the back to back champ in #48.

Harvick and Biffle are also sleepers!

How did the system "s***w" Gordon out of it??? He raced in the same system as everyone else!!!!

Answer 16

Yes he will, and Denny Hamlin will be there to.

Answer 17

The system screws everybody Lenny, it's retarded and completely unfair. It has ruined the integrity of the sport and has put question marks all over the history of the sport. You race an entire 3/4 of a season to build a gigantic points lead and then it is taken away and 11 people behind you are given a chance to win a championship they don't deserve. How would drivers like Earnhardt, Petty and Pearson have done if they were faced with the chase? I will guarantee you they all would have lost championships!! As far as Kyle Busch is concerned, he's got as good of a chance as the other 11 drivers behind him. It's unfortunate, but completely true. It all has to do with who gets hot at the right time and NOTHING to do with who has performed and been consistent for the other 3/4 of the season. It is, without a doubt, one of the worst ideas in the history of sports!

Answer 18

No, but I think he will finish between 2nd and 4th place.

Answer 19

I'm hoping for Jimmie with a 3 peat but if he doesn't pull it, defintely Kyle! That boy's on fire this year!!!

Answer 20

Unfortunately no.

He can, no doubt, drive the wheels off a car and certainly has momentum on his side but I believe that like HMS last year JGR had the jump on the feild this year, but unlike last year many will catch up before the chase begins. Some may even be holding back? or still adjusting and will pass him once the chase starts. Many of the guys in the top 12 now seem to end their seasons stronger than they start them so we can not count them out and give Kyle the cup now. Jimmie, Jeff and Dale are lurking. I think their style and approach to building up to the end will give them the advantage when the chase begins.

While Kyle can drive the wheels off a car it is that attitude that  will allow others with more experience and maturity to creep up on him and leave him in the chase but out of contension for the cup.

I like what he said last night about hoping this wasn't a one year thing and that at 24 be all washed up. He is hot this year so far no doubt. Can he keep it up? Only time will tell...

Answer 21

Kyle Busch is a kid on a mission, and I don't think he's going to be satisfied until that mission is complete!

I'd love to see him win the championship..
