2008 is currently underway! And after 2 races, what a year it's already been. Before I go into my analysis, I would like to update certain information that is the main reason for this blog - wes walks.
For the most part, the only team that has had a makeover was moms. But I will refresh everyones memory.
Me:
Kyle Busch
Kurt Busch
Kasey Kahne
Dad:
Jimmie Johnson
Tony Stewart
Matt Kenseth
Zack:
Jeff Gordon
Dale Earnhardt Jr
Kevin Harvick (*change from 2007*)
Mom:
Denny Hamlin
Clint Bowyer
Carl Edwards
*Mom has replaced every person from her original team.
Now, ONLY for the Daytona 500 we changed the rules around a little bit... (this was due to Zack wanting to share his love for Tony Stewart)
We each picked one driver and one alternate. The alternate would only be eligible for wes walk gainage if the main driver complete wrecked out and could not finish all 250 laps.
AND THE WINNER OF DAYTONA....
noone.. Newman won.. and noone picked Newman.. and quite frankly..why would we? Its newman...
so that's that...
Kyle Should have won it... but that's ok... I'd rather have Kyle win the championship this year instead.
Which leads us into the rest how 2008 is the year of Mystery!!
A big question was "Is Toyota going to get their first victory this year?!?!?!?!!"
May I comment to anyone who actually asked this question.... You have got to be kidding me if you don't think that Tony Stewart Kyle Busch or Denny Hamlin are not going to win any races.... Three strong, talented, hungry drivers, you can put them in a soapbox and they will still be able to challenge for wins. And if you have any doubts after Daytona and California... they you need to see a therapist ASAP.
The COT has appeared to equal out the competition... So far, neither chevy nor toyota has won any races...I mean... chevy???? The powerhouse of NASCAR????? Yep, dodge and ford. But that won't last long.... I garantee a C or T win at Las Vegas this weekend. In fact, if given strong cars that don't have any mechanical errors.. or rookie driving errors... I see Jeff Burton and Kyle Busch battling it out for the lead this weekend.
Yes.. I'm talking a lot about KB... but for good reason... 1. he's amazing.... 2. He's leading both the truck and Cup series while only second in the nationwide series 3. everyone else can't stop talking about him - especially DW.....
so there I said it.. Kyle Busch will be a force to be reckoned with this year, and years to come.. He is bringing over the things he has learned Hendrick to the Joe Gibbs organization, where he can finally let down his guard and be himself. Him and Tony work phenomenal together, and Kyle and Denny are best friends off the track. In the laid back atmosphere at JGR, Kyle will only strive, and can only elevate the level of Tony and Denny by making Joe Gibbs, JGR, not 3 totally separate teams, but one powerhouse working together.
