You know, I fully expected the whole "so jr doesn't know what he's talking about" comment.
There's a HUGE difference between "hey, he has an aggressive driving style. other drivers have had that. Dale Earnhardt was one of them" and "omg he's the next Dale Earnhardt." Just because he drives aggressively does not, and should not, earn him the accolades of even being mentioned in the same sentence as Dale Earnhardt.
And no, Kyle does not remind me of Dale. It irritates me to even think of him as anything close to what Dale Earnhardt was. The fact is, this sport has to STOP looking for the "next Dale Earnhardt". Sorry folks, there was only one and unfortunately, he's gone. I miss him just as much as any other fan out there, but it's time to realize that no other driver will measure up to him, and I find it an insult to mention somebody like Kyle Busch as a comparison. Just because he has an aggressive driving style that can be compared doesn't mean he's anything close to Dale. Dale Earnhardt could drive circles around Kyle Busch. Fact.
