Now that 2007 is over and looking forward to 2008, who will have the better season between Kyle and Dale?

Toyota will be MUCH improved next year.

Kyle will have a better season because, quite frankly, he's a better driver.

Have to agree with that statement. Besides Jr won't blow as many engines either. Seems that HMS has had only one blown engine in 2007 and Jr had at least 4.
Oh and Jr shouldn't have any "loose wheels" either!
(You picked a fine time to leave me "loose wheel!")

Jr should win at least as many races as Kyle won in 2007. If he wins more than twice I'll be surprised.
Unless things change drastically, HMS will rule in 2008 with #48 and #24 winning at least 10-12 races. Is there any other team that has 3-4 good drivers? I don't think so.
Gibbs racing will have a better set up in 2008 with Kyle rather than JJ Yeley, but driving Toyota's will hinder them.

Since they're all going to be driving the COT full time next year, does the manufacturer's name on the bumper really mean anything?

Not much. 2008 Junior has the better equipment, 2009 Kyle will have the better results mainly because he is a better driver. HMS should never let him go.

Dale Jr. career avg finish-16.4
Kyle Busch career avg finish-17.8

Once again your Busch ,whether it be Kyle or Kurt, is superior logic doesnt add up.

It should be close. I think that Jr. will certainly do better than in 2007, but I think Kyle will do slightly better. I think they will both make the chase with at least one or two wins between them. I hate Kyle Busch with a passion, but I admit the guy can drive and I think he has more natural born talent than Jr., even if Dale is of the Earnhardt pedigree.

Tough call. I honestly think Kyle is the better drive but Dale will be in better equipment. I'll say Jr.

I hated Kyle last year on my most hated team,now he will be one of my favorite drivers on my favorite team.Just weird,or I'm weird,or both most likely.
A lot of new variables,so I have no idea who will do better.Jr has no more excuses.Kyle will show he can take a Gibbs car to the front that JJ Yeley couldn't keep out of the wall.

No doubt its put up or shut up time for Little E. If he doesn't perform with the best equipment, it may be back to the Busch....err Nationwide Series for him.

Kyle and Kurt Busch are douches. I can't stand either one and I used to be a Penske fan.

If Kyle can win in a Toyota more power to him.

Earnhardt as mentioned no longer has excuses. Put up or shut up.

I say Earnhardt wins more races.

Exactly, almost. He has too many wins to be demoted to the junior league. I think he will be exposed for what he is, a better than average driver, not a great driver at the level of Gordon, Johnson, Stewart, Martin, or Dale Sr.
Kyle Bush has more potential, but will he realize it? He hasn't learned the concept of slowing down enough to win. To finish first, you must first finish.

Jr. no matter what he does or how bad he performs will NEVER go back to the Busch Series, he's Dale Jr. folks. Kurt Busch is actually one of the nicest and coolest guys in Cup when you meet him. I can't say the same for his brother however.
