Where's "Rowdy" when you need him?

May be...

i could almost even say i agree with you there. my only defense is that you didn't ask "who is the better cup driver" but the "better race car driver" and i'll put my money on kyle over carl across the board anytime. Report Abuse

Carl Edwards.He actually RACES.Kyle busch drives dirty.Anybody can pass their opponent by wrecking them to pass. It take TALENT to pass by skill.

Carl Edwards.

Kyle Busch is the better choke job artist however.

Carl Edwards anyday!!!!
Busch needs to grow up and act like a man or get out of Nascar. I am tired of his whinning.

Kyle Busch, how many road course wins does Carl Edwards have? Infineon and Watkins Glen are the hardest tracks to win at and he doesn't have any.

Back where he belongs not in 1st!!!!!!!!

Kyle Busch!

Carl is more consistent, and is sitting 2nd in the points. Kyle has flashes of brilliance, and has 12th place all sewn up. I'm no good at math, but....

Both.

They both can wrestle a car...

Overall, I think Kyle is the better driver. He has come a long way, but still needs to mature (translation "grow up"). At the moment, Carl Edwards is the better driver. Jimmie Johnson, however, is the BEST driver. 3 straight in '08!! Yee Haw.

Carl is better in the Nationwide series too. If Ford and Chevy were using their new R07 engines the statistics would be way different in the Nationwide series. Report Abuse

Burnt out too early.

Actually I like you Rowdy. You are one of the few I was referring to as a true Kyle fan. You do give good answers. Report Abuse

Kyle Busch, for one reason they guy has no fear. Does that make him better? Well in my opinion yes, because you have to have a set of no fear bal!s when racing or you can not be the best. Skill, I think they are both the same.

Don't care for either. But choosing Carl Edwards

Kyle. It's a shame that he's gone this far this year to end up far behind in 12th position. GO 48!!!!!

Kyle Busch.

Saying that Edwards is better than Busch, just because he's second in points is not a fair argument. All of Kyle's Chase mishaps have been problems out of his control and not because driver error.

Kyle has 20 wins in all three series this season, 15 between Cup and Nationwide. Carl only has 12 in Cup and Nationwide.

Kyle has 9 wins in just Nationwide. Carl only has 5 wins. Plus, Carl's made more starts in the Nationwide series than Kyle and he still has less wins. That right there should tell you who the better driver is.

Flip a coin, they are both awesome wheelmen.
3 STR8 N 08!!!

i try, or am very trying, depending upon whom you ask...

I have to give credit where credit is due. Kyle Busch can out wheel a ride better than most drivers today. Heres a guy who has driven the wheels off of some not so perfect rides this year, and won! Carl Rousch's rides are always stuck to the ground, just on the gas flyin! I'm not too much of an Edwards or Rowdy fan but, Kyle can drive !

gah...my two favorites... I think they are both great of course, but between the two they have their high points, kyle tends to be more 'ballzy' at any given time and carl tends to be more reserved until the end of the race and then its 'ballz to the wallz'. LOL they' have both had their share of dirty race moves, but hey THATS RACING PEOPLE!!! I think they are equal.

Cousin Carl

kyle busch. he's won in all three series four years in a row driving chevy trucks, chevy cars, toyota trucks, toyota cars, not to mention his late model wins in what i'm pretty sure are chevys (they may be toyotas this year, but i don't think so). he's won more races across all three series this year, smashing harvick's record of 14 back in 2006. he has driven for more owners, more teams, and more crew chiefs this year and last than carl has in his whole career, and last year finished better than carl in the points (for those who say he didn't do well in chevy equipment).

as for him needing a horsepower advantage, may i remind you that kyle has won in the nationwide series what, four times now since they put the stricter restrictor plate on the toyotas in the nationwide series--and not just on short tracks like ORP, but also at tracks where horsepower matters like fontana, dover, and charlotte.

carl is very good, but kyle is more versatile.

Edwards

Kyle Busch.

Carl Edwards is a close 2nd. They both can drive anything you put them in, even if it's dirt late models. Kyle has 20 wins total this season, though, and Carl doesn't.

Carl Edwards. He's made some mistakes sure but so has Kyle Busch. And Carl Edwards is a MUCH nicer person!

They're both amazing at what they do. Kyle has the edge.

Who do you think is a better race car driver; Carl Edwards or Kyle Busch?

that's an opinion and you are welcome to it. i disagree. simple as that. Report Abuse

It was once said by Rick Hendrick that a good race car driver can make up a 15 or 20 horsepower advantage another driver has on everyone else. I think Kyle can only be good when he has an advantage but when things are equal then he's NOT as good and NOT the driver that can make up a 15 or 20 horsepower advantage that someone else has over him.

I think Carl Edwards "is" the type of driver that can make up an 15 or 20 horsepower advantage that someone has over him. So My choice is definitely Carl Edwards.

The proof is in the past. Kyle Busch could not out drive Jimmie Johnson or Jeff Gordon in the same equipment while driving for Hendrick. But as long as he's been driving Toyota and the scandals Toyota has been involved in then he's been winning.

So there's the proof.

Kyle can drive anything, anwhere, anytime, and will do whatever it takes to win.

Does that make him a better driver? When it works, yes.
When it doesn't? It was still fun watching, and it still rocks knowing he wanted it that badly.
