Hate it or not, that article's spot on. If Kyle had a "tougher" looking persona he'd most likely be in a different situation. It's hard for most people to take a dude that looks like a walking penis with ears serious.

Maybe if Kyle had a gunslinger stach and wore Gargoyle shades and drove a black Chevy people wouldn't get so pissed when he was "rattling cages". :lol:

I don't think his "situation" would change at all if he only looked different. Now, if he actually acted as tough off-track as he does on track, that might change his situation.. But, acting like a bad-ass on the track and then running & hiding in your hauler off the track.. Sorry, but that issue goes more than skin-deep... :lol:

Yeah he's not a tough guy, but some of his on track antics are very similar to drivers of old. The only difference with them is they'd wreck you and been waiting for you when came down pit road to fight. There's not many of the modern day cookie cutter Nascar drivers out that are actually like that. Sure they'll spout off at a press conference, but as far as jumping out of a car and snatching a knot in someone's head...there's just a small handful capable of possibly doing that. This is why Nascar ratings has dropped. People grow tired of watching Mr. Prim and proper Jimmie win race after race and always deliver the same speech week after week. Nascar once again needs drivers with their own TRUE personalities, not the personality the sponsor wants them to have...

Yeah, I'm not sure NASCAR "needs" drivers to start whoopin' each other's asses. But, I do think the "all-access" nature that NASCAR as embraced has maybe hurt things. I saw an interview with Mark Martin yesterday and he was talking about how drivers used to be able to handle things "man to man." As he put it, he was "too small to go fist to fist with someone, but he'd go handle things man to man after races."

These days, with pit reporters all over the place, if a driver gets out of a car and starts heading over to talk to another driver, the media has to play up the drama and blow things out of proportion.. I've thought for a while that there should be some sort of "cool down" period when drivers get out of their cars, where the media can't go shove a microphone in their face and ask them "what happened out there?"

I think that should go for in-race incidents (where they have reporters waiting just outside of the in-field care center) and post race.. Go talk to the winner right after the race. He's probably happy and won't need to "gather his thoughts." But, I think everyone else (especially anyone involved in some sort of "incident" on-track) should be given 5-10 minutes (maybe more?) to cool off and gather their thoughts a little before some idiot reporter shoves a mic in their face and starts asking questions..

I think it would also help driver's sort out their own matters better if reporters weren't in the garages, etc.. There has to be a happy medium between where we are now on the coverage and giving the teams and drivers some sort of "privacy" (that's not exactly the right word) to talk and handle things without all the cameras around the garages and bugging the crew and crew chiefs during races, etc.. :dunno:

Drama = ratings, that's all the networks are worried about unfortunately.

The scariest trend in Nascar to me at the moment is the empty seats I see week after week at these races. Okay some can argue that the economy is playing a part in this, but it hasn't managed to bother the NFL, or college football.

Some elbow smashing and fisticuffs during and after races wouldn't be a terrible thing honestly. I'd like to see a few of em get their snot box popped. :lol:
