Steve, I think you covered it, but just in case, I meant that many will say Brandon was born with the proverbial silver spoon, but he has worked hard and put the time in to get where he is. I have nothing against kids getting their folks rides, I'm just pissed that my dad quit before I was old enough! On another note, I hope that just in case they don't land something for next year, KB doesn't liquidate and walk away. The economy may take longer to get healthy, and since Brandon is young, it wouldn't be horrible if they had to take a year off to put something together. But, I wouldn't bet against them finding something before this season is done.

That's a stretch.

Not only that, but when Kenny stepped back into the car he won multiple races down the stretch and finished 5th or 6th in points, despite running only after ETown. Had the Countdown existed in '03 ... KB would have been the champ.

I don't remember if KB got back in the seat after E-town or if he missed one or two before he got back in, but if you take the total points of the Bud King and Prince together they only tallied 1740 points while Dixon ended up with 1994.
Mike, I think Chris is saying if the Countdown existed Kenny would have won the title in 2003. I don't know if this would indeed be the case, but it would have been close.
If you have read anything about Kenny over the years nobody gets anything for free and that includes his son. Brandon worked many years on the car before he got a chance to get in a A/Fuel car and that was "ONLY" after he completed college. He had to prove to his father that he really wanted it and even then he had to wait until Kenny was done driving before he got a chance at the wheel. Remember Kenny and Brandon's mom were divorced. As a kid Brandon came to the races and went with the team in the summer. The kid earned it and has done a great job. How would you like to follow in is Father very "Large" foot steps. I know I would have gotten lost a couple of times. No silver spoon just hard work and great results. PS. I am not a fan but respect the results and hard work.

There is a VERY quick and easy way to answer that question. Add Brandon’s points earned to KB's. If the total is more the LD's then yes, he would have been champ, if not, and then nope he shouldn't have been.
Edit:
KB, 1111 + BB, 629 = 1740
LD = 1994
1740 < 1994
1740 would have been good enough for 2nd though.

I think this is more of a possibility than the Cat rumor!

I was thinking that too, after I saw Comp Plus. Would be cool.
Think about this, whether it's a Cat or a Duck or whatever else comes sniffing around the sport looking to get on a fuel car, does anyone think KB won't get the first shot? On the other hand, I don't see Kenny signing up for anything less than a big-budget deal, as he makes no bones about racing at the same level or not at all.
