Kahne Vs. Allmendinger

    On Saturdays, I go to the local dirt track races to enjoy them. Not to listen to someone who barely knows anything at all about NASCAR, bash my favorite driver. Normally, while I'm there I mind my own business, and I don't normally pay attention to what others are saying or talking about. Whenever, you sit there and talk about my favorite driver in a negative way, I tend to get just a tad bit annoyed, and sometimes even pissed off. It's a pretty terrible idea to try and tell me that your favorite driver who just happens to be AJ Allmendinger, has more talent in his little finger, than Kasey does in his whole body. Yeah, I'm not going to sit and let that go on. Trust me, this guy knows.
  Here's just a suggestion, I'm not saying that I know everything about NASCAR, but I know enough to not bash on someone else's driver when your driver is worse. But I've decided that I'm going to put this whole Kasey vs. AJ thing to rest. I'm going to list some facts about each driver and let the stats speak for themselves.
