[QUOTE="Kiohtee, post: 16155697, member: 103998"] Kyle Busch nor anybody else to come will ever catch, much less surpass, Richard Petty's 200 MENCS wins. It's just not possible anymore. Kyle did it in a total of three national series combined, not in one single series like Petty. You use David Pearson as an argument to my number of competitive drivers comment, but who else can you name? Because I did say there were two or three others who could compete on a regular basis back then. But today? Try 10 or more. Until someone can prove me otherwise, once NASCAR started to get balls deep with the drivers we know today (the ones that mostly retired back in 2005-2010), Richard Petty didn't amount to jack. And yes, based on what older drivers of the time have stated (Kyle Petty, Jeff Gordon, etc.), today's cars are harder to drive than yesteryear's cars. I'm not arguing with you on this as neither you or I have been there, so I'll have to take their word at face value and believe it to be true. They even say today's cars are doubly hard without power steering (which was a thing for NASCAR even back in the late 70s, early 80s). I didn't say he didn't, I said I don't believe he should have. But that doesn't matter because those aren't the rules we live by today. Also note I didn't say Kyle Busch isn't a championship worthy driver, but that I don't believe he has won one in the correct regard. But at the end of the day JJ has seven and KB has one, regardless of how I feel. I don't believe NASCAR should be determining race winners and championships based on stages and point resets. And keep in mind through all of this, I'm a current Kyle Busch fan. My favorite driver from the time I started watching in 2000 was Matt Kenseth, so maybe that explains my skewed view to today's rules. [/QUOTE]
