While watching yesterday’s Shelby 427 Sprint Cup event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Fox aired Darrell Waltrip briefly interviewing Jeff Gordon. During this interview, DW asked Jeff Gordon about the talent of Kyle Busch. Gordon answered that he wished he had half the talent that Kyle Busch possessed (that’s a brief summary of what Gordon said, mind you).
During the interview the two of them also talked about when Dale Earnhardt, Sr. gave Jeff Gordon the nickname of “Wonder Boy”. Basically, Earnhardt, Sr. gave Gordon that name early in Gordon’s career because he was so young and so impressive during that time. After a while, the nickname just stuck.
All of this made me think about something – If Dale Earnhardt were still alive today, what would he think about Kyle Busch?
No matter how us race fans feel about Kyle Busch, one thing is obvious – the Las Vegas native can drive the wheels off a race car.
And I bet you Dale Earnhardt would say the same thing.
