and as far as the comment about mcmurray...are you serious? what had mcmurray done for roush prior to his departure???? nothing...edwards and kenseth were running the show for a good while there. i dont blame jack at all for tossing mcmurray and keeping matt and carl. even though both of them are not doing so well this year they are still doing better than mcmurray was doing.

Dale's driving style was aggressive but not considered dirty. If you want to look for the main difference between Sr and Carl it would be outcome. Sr was known for moving drivers out of the way if you were in the way. At the end of the race everyone was in his way.
Having seen him drive at most of the Cup tracks and MANY short tracks in Busch/LMS cars I can tell you he was very fast and skillful. Keep in mind I was a Neil Bonnett fan and feel he was a slightly better driver.
I'm not suggesting Carl can't drive. He is not a good role model at the moment but might be able to get on the right track. His recent behavior is beyond any possible defense and NASCAR seems to agree. I say next time park him.
