I think he's got a lot of potential to be great or at least he's on the right track. He is his own worst enemy though, but again that may come with age. He just turned 23 earlier this month and has a lot of years of racing left. He’s still young and you never know what he’s going to do.

Although i dont like him i hope he doesnt let his team down that wouldnt be fair to his crew members. We will just have to wait and see if he has matured since last year.

While credit is due where its due, I don't think Tony, Kurt, Jr and the others mentioned where really a changing of the guard, but more of a reenforcement of the old guard while planting seeds for the takeover of the new guard. Now with that being said, I also think that the "Changing of the Guard" isn't an overnight thing, it takes years. And from the 2008 season till the end of the 2010 season I think the new Guard is gaining more power over the old guard. So I guess Yes I agree with the article in the idea that the "Changing of the Guard" is happening, but No I do not think Kyle is the lone 'Guard', and No I do not think that the 'Guard (or Guardsmen)' have to be the younger kids, but its more of a group of drivers (young and old) who win/dominate/be consistent.

Most of this credit should go towards TRD and JGR. Lets face it, if TRD doesn't get embarrassed in their first year in Cup then they wouldn't go to the woodwork and start over again with a new team and even better testing. Now lets give credit to JGR for making the bold move, and finally lets give credit to the JGR engine builder, he in my eyes is the one giving toyota all the horsepower, lets not forget this guy developed the chevy engine, so with that knowledge he can make the toyota engine much better.
