Question

http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/nascar/cup/columns/story?columnist=hinton_ed&id=3504770

I think he's kinda both rolled into one super-racer package. What about opinions on here?

Pray for the trolls!

Congrats Wild Thing on another win!!!!!!

Answer 1

idk

Answer 2

kyle busch is more like darrell waltrip

Answer 3

Jeff Gordon rolled into an Earnhardt and Waltrip sandwich.

Answer 4

Definitly like Earnhardt.

Answer 5

He is his own self with a bunch of 'old driver' traits mixed into one.  He just has no fear and restricting him, booing for him, etc just makes him want to drive that much better, and he does it and wins.  I have more respect for him now then I ever did.

Answer 6

100%D.W.

He even has the same love / hate relationship with the fans as, (JAWS), had when He first started.

this probably goes a long way toward explaining D.W.'s fascination, with him.

Answer 7

he is more alike to my t**d than he is any legend.

Answer 8

I've always thought he was a bit more DW than Dale Sr.

I think it's the whole playing up the villain thing he does, DW did it, too.

But, Rowdy is Rowdy.

I don't need to compare him to anyone, I'll just take him as he is.

Answer 9

I think he is like Earnhardt too. Wild Thing is just plain mean. That's all there is too it. I mean that in the best of ways too. Its a compliment.

Answer 10

he's becoming more like kyle busch every day - he concentrates on being just that:

When asked what he thought of the comparisons to Dale Earnhardt Sr., he said: "It's flattering ... It's just not what I'm out there concentrating on being. I'm out there concentrating on being Kyle Busch and trying to make sure that I can go out there and compete for wins and win races and compete for championships and try to win championships."

Answer 11

Well it depends ,when it comes to the WINNING WITH MY EQIUPMENT AWARD , it would be more like Waltrip , who only won alot of races with Junior Johnson or Bud Moore , not with Carl Hass , or DEI or with his own team. But with the WINNING JUST BECAUSE IM SO DARN-GOD d**n GOOD , thats more like Earnhardt who ran well in what ever he was in , even his own stuff , which everyone in NASCAR knows its the hardest thing to do ( look at Kevin Harvick in the #33 this year ). That counts for Kyle because he not only wins with Joe Gibbs , but with Braun , who struggles sometimes , or with Billy Ballew , who he has ran for 3 years now. Has anyone noticed that Billy Ballew's other truck , the #15 driven by Marc Mittchel somewhat struggles , and is in a Chevy. While Kyle drivs the #51 " Rowdy " NOS Energy TOYOTA?

Answer 12

Neither.

Answer 13

how many questions like this do we have to have? can't you just archive the answers from the 50 billion questions like this, they may not have questioned whether he is like waltrip but we have talked about him being like earnhardt and the answer is still the same...he is nothing like earnhardt and i don't know a lot about waltrip to know whether he is like him, so i say neither

Answer 14

kyle busch is only out there concentrating on being kyle busch, and that should scare the bejeezus out of everybody else...

Answer 15

He's just himself because those two didn't whine nearly as much as Kyle, although his driving style might be a bit more Earnhardt.

Answer 16

Just to answer the question I don't think he is like either one. Sorry
