Does Kyle have more fans now because he left Hendricks or is it because he is winning?

Question

I'll admit, last year I very much disliked him but, I am thinking it had more to do with his team. Now that he is on with Gibbs, I do not care which of the three Gibbs drivers win as long has it is one of them.

Answer 1

Kyle proabably gained a lot of fans at Richmond even though he made the Jr fans hate him worse.

His merchandise sales are now second to you know who - Jr.

Answer 2

well he's taken on a bad guy role which has attracted some people, he has dominated this year which has attracted people, and some people still think he purposly wrecked jr at richmond so some jr haters liked that and that mad them fans (those are the only busch fans i dont like) the rest are pretty cool.

Answer 3

Most likey he is gaining so many fans from winning.  I personally don't pick winners usually (29, 44,18) I got kinda lucky that Kyle Busch is a winner lol.  I usually have awful luck. Too many people are band wagoners these days...

Answer 4

I've been a fan from day one.  Last year I  supported his HMS teammates, this year I support his JGR teammates

Answer 5

wtg on answers #18 and the besta....thumbs UP from ME!

Kyle is on a roll

Answer 6

partly both i think he might have even more fans if he werent in a toyota

Answer 7

I'm a lifelong Redskin fan and I really wish I could thus, pull for Gibbs racing.  But I swear my least favorite three drivers are Hamlin, Stewart, and Busch.  Oh well.

Answer 8

its some of both - there's no denying it.  winning gets him noticed by more people, especially fans new to the sport, and changing teams got him noticed by all the HMS haters out there. that's not how i came to like him (he's a fellow vegas boy) - i liked him before he was winning so often, and i don't hate HMS.  

but in the end, it doesn't really matter HOW the fans got there, what matters is THAT they got there - and that's true of fans of rowdy, of any other driver, or of nascar as a whole in my book.

Answer 9

idont  notice  that he really has many fans insomuch as he has a whole load of people that really dislike him (ala Gordon).

wrecking Jr. a   few races ago when he had a good chance  to win has mobilized a lot of fans against him.

i dont think it has much to do with his move to Gibbs

Answer 10

I would say because he is winning. Most people just jump on winners a band wagon, until he stops losing. I know A LOT of fans that like Dale Jr, but clearly hate Gordon and Johnson. I for one don't care who he drives for because I don't like him.

Answer 11

I always liked him when he was at Hendrick. Some people just like drivers because they win, sad but true.

Answer 12

ANOTHER bandwagoner....it amazes me.  People have no dignity.

Answer 13

Yup, Kyle's a good name!

Answer 14

I think Kyle Busch has more fans think he does but I bet the Jr fans hate him though

Answer 15

I ama big fan of Hendrick...well Jeff and Jimmie at least, and I liked Kyle there. He fits in so much better at Gibbs, though, and I love watching him win there, and I know that he is a rare talent. Joe Gibbs Racing is going to be strong for years to come with Busch, Hamlin, and Logano in the mix. Things are looking good

Answer 16

I admit JGR has one he** of a team with Tony, Kyle, and Denny!!

But so does HMS they just haven't gotten it all together yet so far this year.

It should come down to both these teams for the championship!!

But that's just my opinion!!

Answer 17

Its all because of his winning alot. When he won a bunch of races with HMS no one was cheering for him.
