    That's fair with you being an 8 fan. He really is very close to 3 though.

    Good interview:

    How so? Both can drive the wheels off the car, race hard, and don't apologize for racing hard. 3 was embraced for it. Not sure why 18 isn't.

    not questioning his driving skills. Best overall driver of this NASCAR generation. He’s a punk that no one fears. There’s a reason 3 was called the intimidator. There’s no one like him today.

    Their driving styles are the same. Both have no issue moving someone and won't apologize for it. Nascar changed and racing hard is now frowned upon. 3 would be a "punk" in today's racing too.

    You’re just trying to make a connection for connection sake and it’s a reach.

    It's not at all. The biggest thing that hurt Kyle in the popularity category is he's exactly what 3 fans wanted 8 to be.

    I’ve been gone, but I know 18 is not 3. Maybe a young 24, but not 3.

    Both drivers are similar in that they have just as many fans that love(d) them as that hate(d) them. They both were “no-BS” type of guys that didn’t care if you cheered them or boo’d them. They speak/spoke their minds and made no apologies for what they said. When it comes to driving, neither driver gave quarter or asked for any. Neither was afraid to move someone else out of the way to take a spot. In fact, Earnhardt has been quoted as saying, “You get one courtesy lap to get out of my way. After that, either move or I’ll move you.” Both Kyle and Dale are/were very outspoken and they both carry/carried a lot of clout with their words and actions with the sport, other drivers, and with the fans.

    Now, I am NOT trying to compare their careers and say which is a better driver. The truck series was not around during most of Dale’s career and didn’t become part of NASCAR until 1995. If you take the truck series out of it, Kyle has 143 wins, one Xfinity Championship & one Monster Energy Cup Championship. Dale has 97 victories with two Xfinity Titles and seven Cup titles.

    But if one looks at the type of people they are, how they were treated by the fans, how they approached racing, etc., there are a lot of similarities. I feel confident that in terms of an overall image, Kyle Bush is this NASCAR generation’s Dale Earnhardt. Who will replace him? Many say Austin Dillon, but only time will tell.

    Stands have been half empty for a while so I haven't noticed it much honestly. But an RC Cola does sound good right now.

    The speculation has been Keselowski makes sense to move over and take over the 48 at Hendrick with Johnson retiring. Or if they move one of their in-house drivers to the 48, Keselowski takes that ride.

    No sir. That happens randomly. Someone will go through a contest they were in and just randomly challenge people.
