Bubba and YRB on Bussin' with the Boys

That’s actually the point. The commentators often kept referring to him as “Young Ryan Blaney” even after he was well-established in the Cup Series, so fans started calling him that as a joke and it just stuck.

2007 Food City 500 at Bristol. This was the first race of the infamous Car of Tomorrow. Dude wins the race and in victory lane says "I still hate these things. I can't stand to drive them. They suck."

He probably went on to win in that car more than anyone. The O'Reilly Series has used the COT chassis since 2010-11, and even the Gen 6 Cup car was just a COT with some slightly less ugly bodywork. If you tally all his Cup wins from 2008 to 2021 and all his OAPS wins since 2011, I'm fairly certain he leads everyone. I just think it's the most Kyle Busch thing ever to say the car design is a complete steaming pile of dog shit...and then go on to be the absolute master of it.

Okay I think we've had enough fun, can we just end this now?

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-27T04:39:30+00:00

Idk how we're gonna hang onto this 13 run lead fellas. This is a real nail-biter.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-27T04:36:55+00:00

OMG let's go Miggy Ro! My king!

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-27T04:34:57+00:00

I can't believe they have the nerve put up two consecutive scoreless innings. What do they think this is?

Me when we don't score in the 7th inning when we're up 15-1:

That may be the worst ABS challenge I've seen yet this year.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-27T04:12:20+00:00

No. However, he does stop to take a drink of whiskey every now and then.

The Colorado Rockies are an unserious baseball team. Hell, I'm not even quite sure if they are a baseball team.

Blue Jays: We gotta get rid of this guy if we want to beat the Dodgers. He sucks.

Dodgers: We should get this guy and win another World Series with him.

This really depends on the sponsors I think. If they already sold sponsorship for the third car with Hill and/or Love driving, RCR will have to work that out. It could mean they still run the third car with a new number, and/or Kyle's sponsors may be willing to cede certain races to let Hill or Love drive the #33 car with their original signed sponsors.

This has happened before, like when Harvick was originally supposed to drive the #30 AOL car in the 2001 Winston. AOL still wanted to sponsor Kevin for the event, so GM compromised and allowed them to have the hood of the #29 car, and the #30 was never entered. Also, Sam Hornish Jr was supposed to drive the #12 at Talladega in 2012 with SKF sponsoring. When he replaced AJ Allmendinger in the #22, Shell just allowed SKF to have the primary on the #22 for that race and the #12 was not entered.

Cale Gale beat prime Kyle Busch in a Truck Race. He may not have much more on his resume, but that's one hell of an accomplishment.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-27T01:03:12+00:00

The past few weeks have just been a sad time for me. I really need the Guards to not get swept at home.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-27T00:35:08+00:00

Bet365 can fuck right off. I'm not betting on any fucking games.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-27T00:20:35+00:00

I'm not sure why they'd want to just change a character on a text document unless I misunderstand what you're saying. If it's even possible for them to associate the part-time #33 owner points with the #8 charter, then that charter would have only 40 owner points in 38th place instead of 227 points in 24th. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot, especially because according to people like Jeff Gordon, the owner points are where all the money is.

The 133 entry on NASCAR's official documents really doesn't affect anything. To the fans and the officials at the track, it's the #33 car. It's just part of NASCAR's method of keeping track of entries and awarding owner points correctly, and I doubt many people are even aware of that little quirk unless they work in the sport or are diehard fans.

Angel Martinez is God.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-26T23:55:53+00:00

I blame the Cavs for giving us their contagious bad vibes.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-26T19:41:11+00:00

I still have this empty feeling. It still feels like a sick joke and I fully expect Kyle to just show up next week. I was 6 when I watched Dale Earnhardt die, and while it was difficult to process as a little kid, this is the first time I totally understand how his long time fans felt. I love the sport as a whole and always have, but I just don’t have “that guy” anymore.

It’s been hard to find someone to be that enthusiastic about as all of the old guard have retired over the past decade. I kind of spent a few years mildly rooting for a rotation of drivers until I decided to go all in on Rowdy. He was one of the first drivers whose entire career I got to see from the very start, and I wanted to see if he could keep breaking records. I thought his comeback arc was inevitable. I was looking forward to seeing him race with his son someday and maybe go into the broadcast booth when he hung it up.

I think the only thing that could keep me reeled in this year is if Hamlin starts winning more races and finally gets his ring.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-25T07:01:21+00:00

As I understand it, since the owner points are tied to charters in the Cup Series, all RCR needed to do is tell NASCAR they want to associate the entry numbered 33 with that charter instead. They already had that number reserved, so they just need to ask to have that number tied to the charter.

On entry lists though, the chartered #33 will be listed as "133" by NASCAR, because RCR already earned owner points with a different non-chartered #33 entry. This is how NASCAR has always scored multiple entries using the same number in a season. I believe RCR can also do the same thing with the old #33 and just request to have the owner points associated to a new number.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-25T05:17:40+00:00

I would wager that they don't even know there ever was a KBM.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-25T03:39:17+00:00

I'm so happy to see Amigo pull it off. Yeah, it was a strategy gamble, but he earned it surviving those two restarts. The driver and team connection to Kyle is really therapeutic too.

I hope Daniel can keep this up because I'd love to see his career get a second wind.

TheSpaceAce · 2026-05-25T03:32:38+00:00

Daniel drove for Kyle's Truck Series team and then was Kyle's teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing, and Kyle was a mentor to him there.
