Kurt: "Can you curse on here?" Mikey: "Yep." Kurt: "#?*!" LOL! Kurt has really matured. Glad for him and his wife.

I think Kurt always brings up great stories. I've really started to respect him more vs 10+ years ago when he was NASCAR's most hated driver at the time...before his brother took over that role lol

Problem is, Kurt's history is that just when we think he's finally matured he does something incredibly stupid. Hopefully, it's the real deal this time.

Run Ronaldo Run #THEBESTINTHEWORLD not talking about when he’s mad, those are funny, so unashamedly self serving comments that he says after races are great. I’m talking about his off track antics, run ins with the cops and other legal issues. Just seems like every few years he is involved in some scandal that was a result of some poor decision he’s made. I really hope that’s behind us. His talent isn’t even a question for me.

Following the '02 season and the last real season for the #28 (first driver I picked to follow in Nascar was Davey Allison & I stuck with the car for another 14 years) I needed a new driver to follow. I'd always followed a Ford and wanted to stay allegiant and I really liked the fire Kurt had behind the wheel. I've rooted for no one but Kurt since the Daytona 500 in '03 and am proud to say that I stuck with him through ALL of his highs and lows. Kurt is a true racer. A top notch wheelman and these days, a philanthropist and mentor. It'll be a sad day for me when he retires, but I'll always have the memories of epic battles and triumphant victories. From the #97 to the #2 to the #22 to the #51 to the #78 to the #41 & to the #1 it's been a helluva ride. Thanks for everything, Kurt. It's been an entertaining 17 years. 🏁👍

He was my favorite driver until Kyle became my fav. Truex Jr is my 2nd now though I really like another Kyle for some reason but I like Larson a lot too. I always liked Carl Edwards , it’s too bad he decided he’d had enough. I like Ryan Blainey and of course Chase Elliot as well.

I started appreciating your racing career after watching you during the season in that 78 car. Look how successful that team was after you got involved. I also know your new #1 team , is on a great improvement curve. Keep up the great work.

There was a time early on where I honestly could not stand Kurt Busch. Example: I’ll just mention... Jimmy Spencer. But today? MAN, has he changed. He’s matured too the point that he’s very nearly a completely different person. So so glad to see that. Unless I’m missing something, he’s a pretty good dude now. Awesome for him, and awesome for us (me) to get to learn.

Lucky for you they implemented The Chase that year. Under the old points system Gordon wins the Championship. As he would've in 2007 and 2014. Giving him 7. I hate the chase and everything Nascar has become. Exactly why there's nobody in the stands anymore...

@chrisshockey5845 3 жыл бұрын

@@mulehead3697 there's actually a website you can visit that calculates who would've been champion under the old system and Gordon would've won it '04, '07 and '14 which would've given him 7. I'm not making it up. It's actually a pretty cool site. Jayski racing is the site. Precious Jimmie would only have 4 . He never won one under the old system...

I’d like to see Kurt get @ least 1 more Championship before he retires, which could be coming pretty soon or he could race well over another decade with his wheel talents. Be dope to see him get 2 more , 1 in the next 2-3 years and then a walk-off in about 11 years. That would be cool Even if he gets 1 more in a few years and walks it off as a 2x Champion , that would be pretty cool too, other than I hope he races more than another decade @ least. Him & his brother can go another 20years and be those last connections to the days of Dale.
