Is Kyle Busch a stud this year or pretty much the same?

Stud no, contender quite possibly. The boy can drive. Also this will be a different kind of year for him, changing teams, a new car that the teams haven't work with, new team mates. It will be a learning year for all involved. But as long as he does what he does best drive he should do ok. I'm not a Bush fan him or his brother but I do recognize his talent. Like all young drivers (and a couple of the more experienced ones) he just needs to calm down some.
