Kyle's only 489 wins away from Steve Kinser's 690. Your guy won a bunch of NXS Races in his prime, yet I bet you never bitched. He never counted them towards his win total either. /micdrop

Imagine how many home runs Mike Trout could have right now if he played a AAA game in the afternoon and a major league game every night.
Now imagine the outrage if he tried to count those home runs in his career totals as he chases down Ruth, Aaron, and Bonds.
Grats to Busch for 200 wins. It's a great career achievement.
That deserves as asterisk whenever it is mentioned as an argument for his greatness.

Just gonna leave this here because Kyle ain’t the one “counting” towards anyone or “comparing” to anything.

Don't mean to turn this into the Ball of Bases thread, but wasn't there controversy with people counting Ichiro's American and Japanese stats?

Not that I remember but if there are people who did it, then I hope they included an asterisk as well. If Japanese stats mattered, then all MLB players would be chasing Sadaharu Oh's 868 HRs instead of Bonds 762 HRs.

No asterisk needed because Kyle deserves the 200 win accomplishment.

Anyway..
---
The 2020 schedule will be released at 4PM today and there are some pretty significant changes planned according to the rumors.
- The Brickyard 400 will move from the current date to the weekend of July 4th replacing the night race at Daytona.
- The night race at Daytona will move from the current date to the vacated "Last Race before the Playoffs.." position that Indianapolis currently holds.
- Homestead-Miami Speedway will not serve as the final race of the season and could be positioned as early as the 6th race of the season.
- ISM Raceway will become the championship finale.
- We'll also see a two week break from the Cup Series due to the Olympics.

Bristol.. Roval.. Martinsville are now the last races to get into the next round of the playoffs a/k/a everyone's gonna get their s*** dumped.
I'm okay with some of these changes like Atlanta finally moving to a better date for the weather - hopefully - and Martinsville getting their much wanted night race. There are others that I wholeheartedly disagree with. The fact that there are now two wildcards in the second round of the playoffs is annoying. It's simply wanting to create chaos for the "entertainment" factor instead of the competition factor of winning a championship. It'll just keep the conversation going about this championship format not actually rewarding the best drivers / teams. Darlington being apart of the playoffs is disappointing because it'll take some of the "shine" from winning the Southern 500 when they are discussion the importance of being locked into the next round instead of winning one of the crown jewel races. ISM being named the finale for the championship is really underwhelming. Homestead-Miami has been a really good championship finale and I would've understood moving the finale somewhere like Las Vegas but ISM? Moving Daytona from the 4th of July is incredibly idiotic especially when you're moving their race to Indianapolis. Who actually wants to spend the 4th of July in Indianapolis of all places? Come on man.

Obviously NASCAR Didn't learn from when they took Darlington's labor day schedule away, now doing the same to Daytona's July race.

Speaking personally I don't bear Busch any special brand of hate so how about you back off passing judgement? It's getting really annoying. As for your cut and paste reply that they aren't the minor leagues, that's a huge blind spot for you if you can't see them for what they are.

K&N Pro Series or ARCA are more minor league.

No matter how many facts you throw at it he still doesnt get it. There's a reason most people on the WWE board and here just ignore him. As for the schedule, I dont like the Indy/Daytona swap I have a feeling it will get moved back before long. Ending the season at Phoenix is ing stupid. Miami wasnt ideal IMO. I still think Charlotte should be the final race of the season since its the "home" track. I would have been ok with Vegas if they werent moving the awards from there. Vegas just really isnt a "NASCAR Town"

Why on earth do they think moving the traditional July 4th weekend Daytona Summer race to late August is a good idea? stop messing with tradition NASCAR.

NASCAR: "Oh, are we..." *Continues to p*ss on tradition* I mean, once the execs decided that the best way to attract new fans would be to manufacture and artificially juice the stats of certain drivers to supplant the oldschool record holders like Petty, it proved they hold nothing sacred when it comes to potential profit.

Vegas just really isnt a "NASCAR Town" You wanna hear my hot take about Indianapolis? NASCAR will have the chance to add / subtract races from the schedule for the 2021 schedule. If attendance doesn’t improve at Indianapolis in 2020, I believe NASCAR pulls the race from there and we’ll do away with the Brickyard 400. I know that sounds insane but it’s time to reward places that pack the stands like Road America instead of going to tracks like Indianapolis where the fans have seemingly “quit” on NASCAR or the track doesn’t promote the racing well enough.

This was easily the best race with the new rules package, but it's still near impossible to pass the leader (or anyone for that matter) on the track.
