Yeah it is, it's just too bad he doesn't posses a tenth of his fathers talent
Frickin Hell, I see Bryan already took Harvick, so I'll take the #16 car

I would consider the 88 in a race at Daytona that didn't mean anything.

I'll stick with Smoke.

If there was ever a time for a good old fashioned conspiracy ... this would be it. Imagine the boost in ratings, sales, marketing, etc if he won the 500.

He may not have the talent of Sr. but he has always been a contender at the plate tracks. I'll be rooting for him but I don't have my hopes set too high.

Kevin Harvick on the plate tracks however is something just north of phenominal. IMO there is nobody better at Daytona and Talladega... nobody even close for that matter. He has had terrible luck and been wrecked out of most of them for the last couple of years so he hasn't had the finishes to show for it, but his ability to put the car where he wants it, to use the draft, and to get through traffic are second to none. In fact, there is only one other person I have ever seen on the same level as KH when it comes to restrictor plate racing... and his number is still on the B-pillar of KH's car.

IMO Bryan, JR. does show some occasional brilliance, but they are few and far between. Hendrick has done everything possible for this guy, I mean they have gone through almost every crew chief in Nascar. I personally think one of his biggest problems is that he can't relate properly to his CC, to get the car set up to his liking. I would really rather see Hendrick get a hold of one of the young guns like Keslowski or Logano and put them in the 88 car

The last race at Talladega, I couldn't believe how fast he was considering how tore up his car was.

Same race, Ken Schrader got taken out by a rookie named Jeremy Mayfield (we all remember Jeremy, right) and he had the greatest radio quote of all time. His crew kept calling him "Kenny, you OK?........ Kenny, you good?' and got nothing.

Finally after a moment Kenny came on and said "Jeremy F.....g Mayfield, put him in my book".

I hate to admit this, but you're right.

And how many championships does Schrader have? Hell, how many wins?

Don't get me wrong, I like schrader...I was at the Pocono race in '03 where he almost went over the retaining wall in turn one on his roof, and then fell onto the track in a ball of flame.

He's a great guy.....just a tad short on talent. Even with good equipment in the CWTS, he can't seem to eek out a win. A top 10 finish in the trucks is a great day.
