November 9, 2009  08:39 AM ET

I am not sure this will be a good choice for him but I wish him luck!!

He is referred to as Brokeback McMurray around here. Unless Theresa likes Yoga and Tofu she shouldn't have to worry about him bothering her too much.

Jr. left and Jamie fills the void. Kind of ironic.

I told everyone I was watching the race with that Kyle would disappear after the race.. I was soooooooooo right! I kind of wish he hadn't because I like it when he makes an arse out of himself! LOL

McMurray is and always will be an also ran....no matter if he gets the occasional fluke win.

I think Kyle wanted to get out of the limelight that was on him all weekend as he came close to doing something never done before. Win all three races at one track.
He does have 4 Cup wins and 9 Top 5's to go along with 12 Top 10's and of course 5.8 million in on track earnings.
The Great Pretender (Jr.) has 0 wins, 2 Top 5's, 5 Top 10's and 3.8 million on track earnings.
Jr. has a few more wall hits and missed pits though, that might count for something.
Was the screw up on pit road with the fuel Jr's fault for not making sure the car was running or the crew chief for not taking care of that detail. We know that Kyle's C.C. made the goof as his brothers C.C. told Kurt with 5 laps left not to worry about Kyle as he was going to run out of fuel. If he knew, how come Rogers didn't.

BS, He was throwing a uncontrollable tantrum and was escorted to his RV by crew to save face.
I have never seen that happen to JR!

November 9, 2009  11:15 AM ET

Maybe, because he never gets to Victory Lane. He's used to saying, " aw shucks, I hate for this to happen, they give me a great car and that there wall jumped out in front of me and then they moved my pit, it is what it is"

November 9, 2009  11:33 AM ET

Nice try. LOL

JK LOL You are in prime shape today..I am not falling for your Jr. bashing today!!! LM(JL)AO(Junior loving)
