Though Kyle Busch reminds me a little of Earnhardt Sr., there is no way he could be the Intimidator. Busch was awesome in 2008. His aggressive driving and frequent wins and reckless personality stirred some similarities to the late Dale Earnhardt.
Tony Stewart. Stewart ’s temper and distaste for the media truly goes beyond anything Earnhardt Sr. ever said. He is aggressive. Stewart takes his complaints public. In addition, He is an entrepreneur. He runs his own race track in Eldora. Stewart also owns several race teams in Sprint and the World of Outlaws.

He stepped out of the mold of driver into one as successful owner in the Sprint Cup Series with a team that was going nowhere when he took it on.
