Poor Kyle. How can he ever win if they keep ganging up on him? [emoticon]

Hey, Danica finally made it to Victory Lane, so there's that. [emoticon]

Congratulations to Ricky Stenhouse Jr. On ending the drought for Jack Roush and to Jamie McMurray for that last lap move that REALLY made things interesting.

It sure got exciting there at the end. We, who come from dirt-track racing, always knew Ricky Stenhouse was a good driver. All he needed was a competitive car under him,.....just like every good driver deserves (or wishes for). Congratulations to Ricky and Jack Rousch and the whole team,....an to Danica.
I was proud of Kyle Busch for adding so much to the show, and for giving a decent interview (told it like it happened IMO).

Kudos to McMurray and Ganasi also.

Defeat lives rent free in Kyle's head. I sense it in his words and his post race behavior. Reminds me of Jimmie Johnson and his relationship with Chad Knaus...7 Championships ago.

The Ricky Stenhouse performance kinda reminded me of this poem:

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win but think you can't,
it's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world we find
success begins with a fellow's will:
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise,
you've got to be sure of yourself before
you can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
is the man who thinks he can.

- Walter D. Wintle

Good tome' Cloud. Mail it to Kyle Busch C/O Joe Gibbs Racing, Huntersville, NC.

thomasmnile,
If I could come up with something that I could do to improve Kyle Busch's performance I would do it. I actually believe he's done great (all things considered). Look:

NASCAR races won: 171
NASCAR earnings: $91,100,00 (millions)
Monster energy Cup Championship in 2015
Net Worth: $50,000,000 (millions)
Age: 32

I love watching his wife's reactions. She really wants him to succeed.
