Is Busch's 199 Win's Comparable To The Kings' 200?

[lafnatu]

I watched the last 58 laps of the Phoenix race Sunday and Mike Joy, Jaws & Gordon were fawning over Busch's impending 200 wins and how it compares to King Richards' 200 wins all in the premier division of NASCAR as opposed to Busch's win total of 199. Almost half of Busch's wins have come in the xfinity series and 1/4 of his wins have come in the NASCAR trucks. It's not even worthy of discussion at this point. When you throw all the other numbers into the mix Busch is equally and woefully deficient. Busch has only one Cup championship and the validity of that is, and always will be, in question. Busch,s 52 Cup wins is the only number that is rationally in the conversation when the comparison's are made to Petty.

Realistically, the point is moot and it's merely a matter of a few people trying to stir up some interest in NASCAR with a totally phony comparison.

It would be fun if some of the limp dik's would weigh in but they only lurk here. lol!

No comparison, no comparison whatsoever!! No driver in the modern era had to drive the teams old 13 speed truck to the race without air conditioning, no air ride suspension, tv, refridgerator, microwave oven, etc. They didn't have cool suits, power steering, Gatorade, lighter weight racecars, drum brakes, and all the other hardships. The King didn't just have to jump into a jet to get around he had to drive all night to reach the next event. I cant imagine the newest generation going weeks without hardly any sleep while they were traveling and working on the car all of the time. No GPS, cell phones for their convenience. Oh yeah; The Kings wins came in the elite division of the sport. Not as field filler in the sanctions lesser events. Looks like the 18 needs about 150 more wines to compare ! ! ! !
