But nothing more. i have seen far worse, specifically Tony Stewart intentionally wreck MattKenseth at Daytona in front of the field and brag about it after the race with just a restart at the end of the longest line. kyle was wrong but come on, they have let all the other drivers get away with it for yearsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-88037410590942460102011-11-07T12:59:53.564-05:002011-11-07T12:59:53.564-05:00First off, people who come on here and express the...First off, people who come on here and express there opinion using foul inappropriate language are just as bad as Kyle Busch!!! They deserve to be deleted so thank you Dave for letting us express out opinion in a decent well thought out manner!!! I personally think this is a cataclysm of the "boys have at it" attitude that NASCAR has allowed the last few years. Mike Helton says he would know it when the line would be crossed and Kyle Busch crossed it. Really??? I think I wasn't the only one who thought that line was crossed when Car Edwards punted Brad K into the fence at Atlanta or Carl spun him on the last lap at St Louis and he was hit in the drivers door and pounded like a pin ball on the front stretch. Both instances I couldn't believe Brad got out of the car on his own accord and thought both times if NASCAR doesn't do anything now, when are they??? I liken this to my kids and there raising. If I keep letting them get by with murder over and over and each time it gets worse and worse........is it the child's fault if they keep it up??? And is it right when it gets to a point when I get a call by the police saying they caught it my kiids doing this and I unload the ultimate punishment on them. Am I sending the right message to my kids?? And listening to the drivers, a lot of them have this mentality that I've got this space around me so you better not cross it or God forbid touch me trying to go around me or there will be Hell to pay!!! This mentality is just warped!! Were going 200 mph on tracks on the verge of losing control or tracks that inches separates all 43 cars, of course there's going to be contact or banging......ITS CALLED RACING!!! But what you saw Friday, other than the aftermath of KB shoving RH into the wall is what we've seen all year. You touch me by God your going in the wall......that's ridiculous and needs to change people!! These drivers who don't want contact or passing needs to look into something else. I think KB will be paying for everybody's sins this year by nasal and afraid will be taken advantage of by all who have been waiting to pounce on him!!! Jena Fryer said it best!!! Thanks Dave, great article.

A friend of mine characterizes it this way: his smile doesn't go all the way up to his eyes.<br /><br />Some have said Kyle is like an addict. His behavior strikes me as being more like an abuser. The bad behavior followed by an emotional and "sincere" promise to change followed by more bad behavior. I would also worry about Samantha and I don't think that's overstating. Same with Kurt's significant other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-2637829879617850372011-11-06T20:00:52.395-05:002011-11-06T20:00:52.395-05:00This has confirmed my thoughts of Mr. Bush.

There is a reason for this, and no amount of fines, probation or weekends off will get to the root cause of their issues. <br /><br />Kyle must get the professional help he needs to deal with his temper issues once and for all, and do it for as long as it takes to overcome the problem.Only then will he have the tools in his head to match his driving talent. Then, and only then, will he realize the potential that so many have written about without the dark side you accurately identified showing its face once again.<br /><br />And his brother needs to do the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-16049550727109075122011-11-06T16:06:12.145-05:002011-11-06T16:06:12.145-05:00Again, we are NOT going to be calling each other n...Again, we are NOT going to be calling each other names here.

Anger management isn't going to help, it was a dumb move on Kyle's part to be on Hornaday's outside as he was making that pass, but he doesn't see it that way. When he uses something like "Kyle Busch style" you have to understand that his attitude and approach toward putting himself, his equipment, and other racers in that situation isn't going to change, which will only lead to more of these situations. The apology didn't come until after NASCAR slapped the penalties on him, and after that post-incident interview I have no doubt that those penalties and attempting to placate fans/sponsors/NASCAR is the only reason that apology materialized.<br /><br />Really, how many years has this topic come up with Kyle Busch? I may be wrong, but I can't think of a single year that he hasn't put himself in this situation. For all his actions to try and fix it, we wind up in the same place. Rick Hendrick reached his "enough" point, when do we do the same? For the kind of man I continue reading that Joe Gibbs is, I can't imagine how he puts up with this from a driver. Are wins more important than the character and reputation of your race organization? Are wins more important than the reputation of company's like M&M's and Interstate Batteries? It's a simple question that no one has answered.Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-13177298379356275282011-11-06T15:28:21.485-05:002011-11-06T15:28:21.485-05:00NASCAR has let the boys have at it for a while now...NASCAR has let the boys have at it for a while now, showing complete lack of disrespect for each other and doing nothing to stop it. Like Tony Stewart said last week it's about respect. You've got guys like Keselowski calling Kyle an "asshole" at Bristol, you've got Harvick going on a radio show in Atalnta calling Kyle an asshole, you've got Childress beating him up and then mocking the fine NASCAR levies against him, and the santioning body does nothing about it. This battle between KHI/Childress/Busch has been brewing for a while and it finally came to a head. If it had been any other competitor than a Childress/KHI truck that wrecked him on lap 14 I think Kyle would have reacted quite differently. <br />I hope some of the older drivers in the series can reach out to Kyle and help him through this because it would be a shame to lose such a great talent over a terrible mistake made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-7825549182614824882011-11-06T14:39:22.267-05:002011-11-06T14:39:22.267-05:00The problem with Kyle Bush is simple.

I can't help wander if he would have done that to Hornaday if he had been in a different state of mind. What I mean by that is when he was questioned after the incident he said he had been wrecked the last four weeks in a row and he was sick of it. A lot of people assumed he was talking about the truck series, so I checked. He wasn't in the truck in Martinsville Denny was and he won. He finished 9th at Talladega because he lost his drafting partner . He was not in the truck at Las Vegas; and he was not in the truck in Kentucky. However in the cup series he was wrecked at Martinsville and Talladega. Talladega put his championship hopes on life support and Martinsville pulled the plug and buried them. In my opinion I think Kyle was in a bad state because he came into another season with high hopes and expectations and he entered the chase with the most wins again and his chase absolutely disintegrated again. I think he wanted to win the truck race and maybe even sweep the weekend to try and salvage something out of his year and when Hornaday pushed him into the wall, unintentionally of course, he thought his race and his weekend were ruined and we already know his year was a disappointment. I think he just snapped and saw nothing but red. People have mentioned Kyle spotter trying to talk him down, I think short of the spotter flinging himself on Kyle's truck nothing would have stopped him at that point. It was a scary sight and that part of Kyle definitely needs to be addressed and I hope he learns from this weekend and gets the help he needs to be a better competitor. Some people have raised the hypothetical question of would NASCAR have parked him if he was in the hunt for the championship; I will go even further with it and say that if he was in the hunt he wouldn't have reacted the way he did because he would have been in a different state of mind.Melissa Grimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-18479422169875029582011-11-06T13:12:26.548-05:002011-11-06T13:12:26.548-05:00If your post is not here any longer, it's beca...If your post is not here any longer, it's because you have violated either the "No Profanity" or "No Name Calling" rule.

But when it happened it made me ask the question "what if". If something terrible had happened to Hornaday could Kyle have been charged with a crime? Do the drivers sign something before they race waiving their rights to file criminal charges. I am not by any means suggesting this situation warrants that, but the malicious intent of this incident had it gone bad would be hard to argue not filing charges.Budfrog61https://www.blogger.com/profile/12412377264776846993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-67749373025698415212011-11-06T12:36:39.566-05:002011-11-06T12:36:39.566-05:00Who else is going to win them 4+ cup races a year ...Who else is going to win them 4+ cup races a year let alone what he does in Nationwide wins every other race and all the money he puts back in to NASCAR via KBM!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-4320520980358734242011-11-06T12:24:39.872-05:002011-11-06T12:24:39.872-05:00I have read wehere many people keep bringing up th...I have read wehere many people keep bringing up the Carl and Brad issue.
