A decade after he dies he's still in the top ten for trash and trinket sales, and truth be told, #1 in sales, his kid, owes a lot of what he earns to dad's legacy. Just sayin'. With NASCAR popularity tailing off the last few years they might need another guy like that. As much as I dislike Ky Busch, he's got the talent/potential once he finally pulls his head out of his butt. Best thing that ever happened to him was to get knocked down by Hendrick and picked up by Joe Gibbs..............best mentor a young jerk could have. As Jerry said, he's learning more about what it takes to make the whole thing work, he's maturing with age (he handled the thing with Martin much better than I had expected), and if he learns to earn rather than taunt/demand respect he could have the whole package. Time will tell.
