'That's the way dad raced and Kyle has that same style,' Earnhardt Jr. continued. 'Very aggressive.'

Kyle Busch just might have a little "Intimidator" in him.
And that's from someone who would know, Dale Earnhardt Jr.
"On the race track, there may be some comparisons there," Earnhardt Jr. said Thursday. "He's fast. He's running well. He's quick. He's aggressive."
"That's the way dad raced and Kyle has that same style," Earnhardt Jr. continued. "Very aggressive."
Does Busch - called "Shrub" by some fans - match his father's personality off the track? Not a chance, Earnhardt Jr. said. "Personality-wise, they are polar opposites," Earnhardt said. "Give me a break."
Earnhardt Jr. on his own chances at Darlington?
"The team's been great. The car's been good,” the Chevy driver said.
"I'm very confident."
