Busch, on the other hand, is one of the hottest drivers on the tour, and -- as much for his amazing driving talents as for his still rough-around-the-edges personality -- Busch is now being looked at in some circles as perhaps the next Dale Earnhardt Sr.
*******
"On the track, there may be some comparisons there," Earnhardt said. "Kyle's fast. He's running well. He's quick. He's aggressive.
"This is Dale Earnhardt in ‘89 and earlier. Daddy quit doing that stuff after a while. But that's the way dad raced, and Kyle has that same style. He's very aggressive."
******
The elder Earnhardt was booed for years by angry fans who took exception to his hard-driving wheel work and his general disdain for criticism. "Don't worry about the boos," he once told another driver. "It's when you walk up on that pre-race stage and they don't do anything at all when you're introduced … that's when you need to start worrying."

"We were all going down in the corner too hard. But I couldn't go in the corner any harder.
******
"It was hard racing, and it was avoidable. But I went in the corner … I blew turns one and two real bad, and he saw that, and he almost had me cleared off turn two. I got back beside him down the back straightaway and had a pretty good run, and I went in the corner -- I didn't go in as high as I had been running, I went about a half car-length lower … and I think he was anticipating me going in where I had been running."
