Well that's all we've heard about the last few weeks and for sure until KB wins again. 200 wins ACROSS ALL DIVISIONS, is what they keep saying and should magnify all divisions more. Big deal, his 45 or so in cup doesn't even compare to Richard's. IMOO. So here's my complaint on all this. Win 4, 5, or 6 more in trucks, x or cup in the next couple of weeks so they can glote you more and then move on off the damn subject!!!

Remember when he quit his own xfinity team and went back to Gibbs because he couldn’t win?
Yeah impressive.
I’m sure Kevin has a few less wins to show for it, but I’m glad he stuck it out with KHI until it became successful in Trucks and Xfinity. That’s a real winner there.

Yup, forgot about that. X was OK but KHI really had a good truck team. And I can't remember all of it, but they also supplied bodies, engines ect to other teams too.

Yeah, Kyle definitely isn't a winner in Nascar. LOL. This dude is the greatest driver we've ever had the pleasure of watching Kevin compete against, second only possibly to JJ. |

KB who? Oh the media's golden child! 200 wins!? WHAT A MESSED UP WAY TO DE-VALUE an ALL-TIME GREATS ACCOMPLISHMENT! Next they'll start including life time wins in all series a driver races in from the age of 5.
Kyle has 52 CUP wins PERIOD! Majority of the rest are just cheap padded stats! We all hate it when our fav team plays a lower tier team just to pad stats. REMEMBER the BCS and always arguing strength of schedule? KB pads stats! Not saying the guy can't drive, but it's more like Alabama (SEC) beating Arkansas (Sun Belt) (57-7) and calling it a quality win!

Not saying the guy can't drive, but it's more like Alabama (SEC) beating Arkansas (Sun Belt) (57-7) and calling it a quality win! Yet, in the same case, Alabama still goes out there and kicks everyone's ass against the top teams in the country on most occasions. Roll Tide, by the way. Also, Arkansas is also in the SEC, not the Sun Belt, and never has been. As far as this Petty debate is concerned, how many competitive cars were around when Richard did most of his winning? One? Maybe two or three? He had several seasons where he ran 50+ races and a couple of times exceeding 60 in what was the "Cup" series back then. Petty is an all-time great, but to say Kyle's accomplishments don't live up to what Petty did is absurd IMO. The competition is much closer, rules are tighter, etc. You also see a visible difference in the 18 NXS and KBM trucks when he is driving either one. He goes out there and wins whereas others that have ran the same car/truck struggles to run top 5. He's a hell of a racer and one of the best of our time. Winning 200 races at NASCAR's top tier is pretty damn impressive and should be celebrated. I understand that some of you don't like/can't stand him, which I can agree as well, but let's be objective here. To put it in perspective, Kevin has a total of 106 NASCAR wins. He has one less NXS start than Kyle and 24 less NGOTS starts, but 148 MORE MENCS starts than Kyle. Granted, RCR was bad at the cup level for a while, but the Xfinity program was always one of the top when Kevin was Buschwhacking. Not trying to knock Kevin at all because we all know he's one of the greatest of all time, but what Kyle has done over the years is more impressive IMO. I know this won't be a popular opinion around here, and I'm okay with that. You all are entitled to your opinions just as I am mine. |

Kyle is a top, hall of fame worthy driver. Definitely one of the best. I was pointing out his poor attitude, and that I thought it more admirable for Kevin to stick with his own team until it started winning, rather than just quitting and going back to RCR equipment. |

I know this won't be a popular opinion around here, and I'm okay with that. You all are entitled to your opinions just as I am mine. LOL..Fact Check: 2nd game of the 2018 season the 'Role Tide' played against Arkansas State Red Wolves (Sun Belt) (adding 'State' would have helped)… Yes a win is a win, but does anyone see that as a quality win? As for Cup guys in the Xfinity or Trucks... I have mixed feelings. You can argue that JGR has had one of the top Xfinity team since Joey. Joey was "Sliced Bread"! His JGR cup result? YUP! And that Jones boy... his cup career? right! I just think its funny that when a cup driver races in a Xfinity/Truck race, everyone sees it as an equal playing field. Fact is, its not. Cup driver + Top Xfinity team + his cup pit crew = big advantage. Kevin vs KB is a different discussion. KB vs Petty? No way to compare. During the Petty years, I doubt KB would finish a race ... those drivers would have put him in his place right away. They would have just loved him! LOL! |

Sure, wait let me Check, let's see, he won the first stage, oh wait, to my surprise I see he also won the second stage and is only 2 plus seconds ahead of 2nd place. I'd of never thought. Thanks to nacsar updates or I may have taken a bet. |

Yup, I guess Nascar read our post earlier and told his crew to tell him to wait for the cup race tomorrow to get that win.
Any takers on tomorrow's bet, lol...
