Kyle could end up with more wins across all 3 series than anyone in history.... of course he is now racing his own team at Nationwide which could limit his wins in that series.. But he did could his first win as an owner by winning the Nationwide race last night.. of course his brother was driving...

As for championships.. Jr has more! Jr has 2 in Nationwide and Kyle has 1 in Nationwide.. Both are absent for the Cup championship list but if I were a betting man I would have to say Kyle wins 1 or more at Cup level. I think Jr just wants to win another race in Cup.. I think the Championship at Cup level has all but passed Jr by.. but, I could be wrong.

take it for what its worth.

I don't count the Nationwide trophies as success in that series does not necessarily translate to success in Cup. Look at the wins Mark Martin had in Nationwide, but couldn't dominate in the Cup series that way.

Certainly Cup and Nationwide are not interchangeable and doesn't mean success. I can't name a driver off the top of my head that won a championship at both levels.. i would to look it up. But don't discount the Nationwide series champions as nothing.. that is a tough series to compete in and often offers a more compelling race. I enjoy the Nationwide just as much as Cup especially now that you don't have Cup drives dominating the series in the POINTS.

FWIW, Another 2nd place run for Jr last night. I think you can say, at least for the now, the #88 team is the best Hendrick team so far this year.

I don't like his mouth frothing and hand-wringing over so-called "racists" in the grandstands and infield. Why doesn't he lead the way in promoting "diversity" by visiting "diverse" neighborhoods other than his own little gated rich man's enclave?
