Not a good day for Kyle or Joey. Nice top 10 by Hamlin

 

[YankeeVol]

Hopefully Kyle can finish a year as well as he starts them

 

[YankeeVol]

Not a good race at all for JGR today

 

[YankeeVol]

With a 29th place finish, Hamlin is officially out of the question for winning the chase. Kyle still has a chance

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Kyle and his team are cracking under the pressure, as usual.

 

[YankeeVol]

Still a long way to go

 

[YankeeVol]

Once again, come Chase time JGR drivers suck it up

They just suck plain and simple. I have serious doubts of Kyle ever winning a champ. unless he can learn self-control.

 

[YankeeVol]

It pisses me off because Busch has got talent out the wazoo

 

[YankeeVol]

Another disappointing Chase for JGR. I don't get it

Kyle Busch - wrong temperment, not team player.
Denny Hamlin - not team player, blames everyone else.
Joey Lagano - not talented enough.

They won with Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart, talented and team players.

You think he lacks talent? You might be right, I don't know too much about him. The thing that struck me was just how young he was when he started.

I says what I tinks and I tinks what I says.

I think Logano is talented, just not enough for the #20 car.

 

[SyxxSynse]

I believe they pushed Logano too fast too soon. The second he turned 18 they threw him in a Nationwide car and not long after that he had a full Cup ride. If you put too much on a driver too soon, they may not reach their full potential (i.e. Casey Atwood).

The only drivers I have ever liked that drove for JGR were Dale Jarrett, Labonte, and Smoke.

Any new updates on Logan? Looking more like zippy might be on the move if darion is really let go.

Zippy is now the competition director at SHR, Grubb is crew chief for Denny Hamlin.

Let's see if the JGR team can bounce back from a disappointing 2011

 

[YankeeVol]

Well that was a good start tonight

 

[jhen713]

Kyle wrecked but didn't wreck at least twice. Great race. Plate racing is back to what it should be.

 

[mooreaj21]

Kyle starting the 2012 season off w/ a bang, what a great race last night. I'm really glad they finally got the plate race back to what it needs to be. That was an exciting finish last night. Kyle wrecked that car on multiple occasions & made great saves.

I'm one of the biggest KB supporters out there, I love watching him drive a race car. The kid can flat out drive the wheels off, granted he doesn't have any championships but he may be the most talented driver in NASCAR right now. I just really hope the kid can finally put some good races together when it matters. I've heard a few people refer to him as the LeBron James of NASCAR, he can win when it doesn't matter but once the Chase start he chokes.

 

[YankeeVol]

Great day for JGR. A win for Hamlin and a top 6 for Kyle and a top 10 for Logano :rock:

 

[SyxxSynse]

Hamlin's new crew chief is making the decision by the defending champion look pretty foolish.

 

[YankeeVol]

A great hire for sure
