I was at the Nascar race in Richmond in May and the Pedigree crew was kind enough to take pictures with our 3 rotty puppies. I just wanted to say how nice they were and send over a picture. We took about 6-10 pictures and they looked like they had a blast. Your sponsor would be proud. |

Okay so I have listened to everyone attack Kyle for his "incident" with Junior. If roles were reversed Junior Nation would call it a racing incident. I am a new Kyle fan, former Junior fan. I think the change Kyle since joining JGR has been incredible. He and his teammates rock. I hope Kyle goes all the way. Good luck guys and keep racing hard. I am proud to be a Kyle Busch fan. Go Kyle!!

My comment is this. Just dropping a note to say this, Your man Kyle, has converted us to his fan base, and Joe Gibbs, and Toyota. Kyle brings excitement back to racing at a time when it is getting dull. Kyle is just what fans love, love him or hate him, he draws the cameras. After the Darlington race, I am converted to the Joe Gibbs team. Please let Kyle be Kyle, do not reign him in so to speak. Look for Kyle to better the records of Dale sr, and Jeff Gordon. Kyle is in it to win it, full speed ahead!

Kyle Busch is an amazing driver and while many fans love to hate him, there are many that love him that much more. It may be hard to hear the cheers while Junior Nation is booing you down, but please know that there are MANY of us who love you and love to watch you race in anything with wheels. |

When our Cub Scout pack had there Pinewood Derby and we received our block of pine to make our car, there was never any doubt that it would be #20 - The Home Depot and a bright orange. Hayden was so proud of his car and it was fast too !!!
Way to go JGR and Tony Stewart. It is the highlight of Hayden\'s week to see #20 The Home Depot car and Tony Stewart race and win. |

My kids and myself went to see the Nationwide Pepsi 300 race this past weekend at Nashville Superspeedway. We were worried we would not get to meet Kyle, but to our surprise down on fan walk we were able to meet him and I have to say he was the nicest driver we have met in a long time.
He was very kind in doing autographs for all the fans, and even though we are Dale Jr. fans at heart, we were pulling for Kyle that day, and will for now on because of the attitude he has with everybody. The one thing that my boys can not stop talking about is that Kyle even let me take his picture with my boys and now it is framed and hanging in our living room, that is a memory they will not forget.
So thanks to Joe Gibbs for having his driver compete there but most of all a HUGE thanks to Kyle! |

Congratulations to all JGR Team. My son Niko (6 yrs. old) is a great fan of Kyle Busch and the entire JGR Team. I introduced Nascar to him 6 months ago and he is loving it. I took him to his first nascar race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. last February (remember the weather) he missed school that Monday, gave up his perfect attendance just to see Kyle Busch race that day, of course I did too, and it was great weekend. He was hoping to meet Kyle personally but no avail. But he was thrilled to see him win the Craftsman Series and seing that #18 car with his teammate Tony #20 winning the Nationwide. Today all he talks about is Kyle Busch #18 M&M, Snickers and Interstate, his collectibles of diecast, nascar on TV on the weekend during race day. I think I created a nascar monster and he is only Six!!. Now he wants to start Go Karts because I told him that's how all the drivers started racing before Nascar especially Kyle. He really is a #1 fan of JGR Team and his favorite driver Kyle Busch. We love Tony and Denny too of course!. Keep it up Guys! |

I just wanted to share with everyone that the #20 Home Depot car from Glen Burnie, MD came in first place for the speed category this past weekend. The race was held at Faith Baptist Church in Pasadena and was sponsored by the local chapter Boys and Girls Awana club. Out of a 10 car field, Gabriel Lane and his Home Depot # 20 finished 1stt. The car ran 8 heats and was undefeated even though the Lowe’s #48 gave it a run for it’s money. The car’s best pass was 2.55 seconds.

I just want to give Tony, Denny, and Kyle a hug after the Bristol race. They were all doing so well and then their luck went away. You all did a great job though and anyone of you should have won. Kyle did an awesome job at driving 200 miles with no power stearing. I don\'t think anyone else could have done that.
Everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing great job and keep it up. Lets get one of these cars the Chapionship and Toyota more wins!
Lynn Tabb, Leesburg, Ga,
I am a huge JGR fan esp. Tony,(no offense Denny and Kyle), I love both of you too. I can say that I was present when history was made. I was at the Kobalt Tools 500 when Kyle won in a Toyota and put the # 18 in Victory Lane for the first time in almost 7 years.
I was so disappointed at the Bristol race though and my heart went out to all the guys and the teams that work so hard week after week to put together great cars.
Todays race though took me back to the commercial on tv where the kids have the remote controls and are making the cars do crazy things. Someone please take those remotes away from those kids and let the 3 JGR cars show what they are capable of.

Great Racing Guys!
I have been a Tony Stewart fan for many years and a JGR fan for the past 3 years. The start of this season has been great but nothing has been as exciting as a 3 wide JGR exit from pit road!! Congratulations to EVERYONE on all 3 teams! Well done Guys-well done! Thank you for the great racing! May God bless you all and continue to keep you safe. |

I just want to say congratulations to Kyle Busch, his entire team, and the entire JGR organization for their runs in AMS. I've never been more proud to be a fan of JGR, seeing the success and talent of all 3 of the incredible drivers and the introduction of Toyota to the team. Keep up the good work and see y'all for the Samsung 500 here in TX!!
Gail Tanner, Fort Worth,Texas

Congratulations to Kyle and JGR for the first Toyota win. Thanks to Kyle for putting the excitement back into NASCAR by racing (not just driving), and for beating Junior to the finish line first this year. Looks like JGR got the better end of that deal! |
