Well, looky there... I'm extremely happy for Casey Mears, but I stand by everything I've ever said about him. Crew chief won this as much as anybody, but I can't knock the driver for doing his part. He's in a Hendrick car, this is what he should do, but I still think I could out drive Mears under pressure. He is a lame duck. hahahahaha.

Its about the racing. It may be Mears' first year at Hendrick, but its not his first year in Cup. Regardless of luck he has never shown one single ounce of ability. I don't care if he has been driving for questionalbe teams, he drives for Hendrick now. That is only the case because of his father's name. He consistently makes poor decisions, doesnt understand the cars and is scared to take risks. That's a lame duck to me. Mears is wasting everyone's time.

He will over come his bad luck next season. If anyone needs to be fired from Hendrick it should be Busch! He's a CHODE!!! Mears is just having a bad 1st year.

He'll be able to race other kinds of cars again, which he hasn't been able to do since the sports car fire at Infineon, he'll have good engines, an open-minded team owner who's not afraid to throw around money to get things done, no association with Theresa [[like he would at RCR]], and a good teammate in Mark Martin. I was opposed to the idea originally because it's a newer team, but I've been convinced. I want him to go to Ginn. He’ll be able to race other kinds of cars

Kyle is doing way better than Jr. Doesn't anyone remember what it was like when you were 22? We thought we knew it all. I'm sure Kyle's not the first driver to behave that way. He's already started to mature. Give him 5 years, and he'll be better behaved. Personally, I like his attitude, though. And man, can that kid drive!!!? How has Rick made a critical error?

RCR engines alone are pretty consistent and combing them will make them BETTER than what Junior has now. Plus they've been talking about merging engines longer than before Junior made his announcment. And he will NOT drive the 3 because he already stated he does not feel comfortable driving his father's car. However I do believe he will land at RCR. Gibbs is too concerned about his teams "good image" and are really letting a huge catch go if they don't fight to add Junior. And if not RCR, I say Ginn Racing will try their hardest to pick him up. No other eye catcher is really left except those two. DEI engines alone are NOT good enough. RCR engines alone are pretty consistent and combing them will make them BETTER than what Junior has now.

I agree with jake on the rcr deal with D E I . I read that too. I heard rumor that bud was going to sponser the busch car and he was picking up a visa sponsor. Anyone else hear more on sponsors? Putting a team together and trying to drive is to tough. If he wants to win and he does ,movement will be to a well organized , funded , established team. GOing it alone , well starting fresh would be career suicide. How many guys quit playing for the chicago bears and buy a team ..........? 0 Maybe when he is done racing or almost he could do it. Not now. My question is will D E I sell him the number 8. Will he let Bud go if it meant going to Joe Gibbs racing. or another team that doesnt like alcohol. And when and where do we have the bond fire for Ms Theresas racing gear. He is going to race the #3, people! Read between the lines.
