oh I for one don't disagree with alot of what you said. But yes, to me he is like Dale early.
I've certainly never said he's the next Dale or that i'm looking for another Dale.
But Kyle does have some serious talent. It's absurd for comparisons not to be made. Not only because of aggressiveness, but car control, and his attitude on the track. No matter how much you dislike Kyle and how much his attitude sucks out of the car, in the car...he's one of the most talented driver's i've ever seen.
I've got no doubt Kyle would have a championship if he were the premiere driver for a team instead of 3rd string driver like he was at Hendricks.
Will he ever measure up to dale, prolly not, but I said the same thing about gordon too. Of course I never considered gordon to have the kinda talent dale had. Though he is a good mix of talent and smarts. I consider Kyle way more talented than I do Gordon in early career. Kyle just isn't that smart yet.
How about naming someone Dale couldn't driver circles around?
