Snake & Kenny are my two hero's.... Believe me Kenny won't lose any sleep over Snakes comments, and my Forever Red t-shirt is still worth the same as it was last week.... nothing...

I don't care about that stuff, the King is back, even if it is in black!!

And btw, Snake Racing was in the running for that Monster deal....

People laughed when George Foreman stepped back into the ring, but he did pretty well!

I know of people who have reached retirement age with more money than they could ever spend, who retired and soon found that they weren't happy "doing nothing". They went back to work because that's what made them happy, made them content by filling a need for accomplishing more than doing stuff around the house day in and day out. I have no problem with that.

When someone not only puts a title on the action of their retirement, but they also merchandise the heck out of it, then they change their mind, it just doesn't smell very good to me.

I think this is great news!! He never did sound all that happy in retirement, and he didn't look all that happy to me either. In fact, he clearly seemed frustrated as he watched his son drive. This doesn't surprise me at all. I remember when he stepped back into the car after Branden was injured, he was back to his old self and plenty competitive, even won a race if I remember correctly. I'm glad to see him back.It should make for an interesting season in F/C next year.

I think everyone that bought the retirement merchandise should get together and file a class action lawsuit against Bernstein! You could probably get back $10,000 for every dollar invested in the souveniers as compensation for mental anguish!

C'mon, I bet most of you would love suing dear lil Kenny, wouldn't yah? You fickle fans, you!

I can hear John Force now. "What??? Kenny B's coming back to funny car??? Gee.............great................" Yep. I bet the other F/C racers are just thrilled with this news.

you said it better then me! thats what i was trying to say!
and as for john being woried? yeah im sure he is shaking in his boots
the fact that KB is getting back in a flopper instead of a digger is cool!

yeah and with all the up-to-date f/c data that he has, im sure he will be great right out of the gates.

I couldn't agree with Snake more. Sure, you can retire and then come back. As soon as you tout a retirement tour and sell t-shirts, hats, and god knows whatever else, then there is a problem. I guess that is why the 'Forever Red' crap means nothing now when someone wears it to the track but 'Final Strike' T-shirts have a little more clout.

I think the bigger issue with KB returning is what if he totally flops (no pun intended) in a Funny Car? Kenny had a great career and it would be a shame for him to taint that legacy with poor showings in 2007. I am not saying KB has forgotten to drive a race car over night but he hasn't driven a Funny Car in years. They are not the same as the dragsters he was driving a few years ago. Just look at the learning curve Scott Kalitta has been on. Six DNQ's, 8 first rounds losses and has yet to advance to a semi-final round. It's not like the Kalitta camp doesn't have a pile of money sitting around nor the know how to tune a race car.
