After watching a bit of Nascar this weekend,I have accumulated a question.
How is it possible that the guy who missed 11 races has the most wins?He missed more than half.
It helps that Kyle is good for one. It's no shocker that he wins multiple races in a season. I think he was due for a big year anyway because at the start of the year, they took HP away from the cars amongst other changes that are somewhat similar to the lower tier Xfinity series. He undoubtedly has a feel for those types of cars so I figured he'd do well with the new Cup package but we didn't get to see it since he got hurt before the first Cup race.
The other big factor is his return just so happens to coincide with Toyota making some engineering changes to their cars, mostly engine related. Toyotas across the board were down for the first part of the season and they've put in a lot of hours trying to catch back up. And if you've noticed, its worked. Not only is it just Kyle winning races, but all the JGR teams are running well as well as the MWR cars (Bowyer and Ragan).
