    Hell yeah.

    NASCAR needs him to not pull another disappearing act in the Chase.

    It's even more fun to tease my friends (who can't stand him) every time he wins.

    When Yarborough won his 15th race, at age 34, that marked only the second season in which he ran as many as half the races on the schedule, so it's not a fair comparison.

    As a matter of fact, Cale only drove on a full-time basis nine times during his career - and he won 83 races and three championships. Let's see how many wins and titles The Shrub has at the end of his ninth full season in Cup. Until then, Cale shits bigger than The Shrub.

    How's this for a fair comparison?

    It took Yarborough 204 starts to win his 15th Cup race.
    It took Busch 160 starts to win his 15th Cup race.

    Very fair.

    Shrub's 50 wins across the three series, though, has to be quantified. N'wide and Truck aren't all that these days.

    That's a very fair comparison. Here's another one.

    Yarborough won a championship in his fifth full season in Cup.

    This is Busch's fifth full season in Cup. Clock's ticking, Shrub.

    Jimmie Johnson ... oh yeah, the guy who finished in the top five in the points in each of his first five seasons (only driver ever to do that) with a Cup championship in the fifth season and 23 wins in that time period.

    Clock's ticking, Shrub ... too bad one of those records has already left the barn and won't come back for you. Oh, and that you'll need to win eight more Cup races this year just to tie another of those marks.

    That explains a lot. Jimmie's a Canuck.

    I wasn't a fan of Kyle Busch early on, but I'm slowly starting to like him as he is finding a way to Victory Lane, unlike Dale Jr.

    Dale Jr -
    337 = Cup races
    18 = wins
    87 = top 5s
    Best finish in points = 3rd
    Going to Hendrick = priceless f^%k#r
