    KB may have finally matured to the point where he can use his big skill to his advantage instead of disadvantage. If so, this could be a loooooonnnngggg year....

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Saw in this morning's paper that Robby Gordon's talking about looking for some deep pocket partners who have connections to potential sponsors, giving him more time to focus on a wider range of financial "opportunities". Maybe we all chip in and buy a CHR share??

    Yeah, if that kid should ever get his maturity as well developed as his driving skills I don't believe any of the NASCAR records would be safe!!!!

    My guess his car wasn't as bad as it looked. I don't care for him as a person seems he is better this year than in the past time will tell. He has a reputation to live down.

    This was a big race for the Toyota camp - a win in the first ever NASCAR EFI race, plus the first Bud Shootout win in six tries. This is going to be an interesting season. Toyota has tons of EFI experience from their support of the Indy Car series a few years back, plus there is a new mentality between the Gibbs & Waltrip teams related to EFI information. KB in the past has been the poster child for the "spoiled brat" group, but if they got his attention at the end of 2011 he may be a force to reckon with for 2012. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big KB fan, but it sounds like he did some amazing driving last night.

    Before the wreckin' thinned the field twice the Earnhardt/Childress engined cars looked mighty strong too when horsepower seemed to matter.

    Kyle has been a huge talent right along! That's been part of his problem IMHO... He's very good and he knows it and has zero patience! Another part of the problem...

    But the guy can flat out drive a race car!
