Just remembered, a local kid named Derrick Rose signed a big pro contract a couple of years ago and pretty much the next DAY was stopped for doing twice the limit on I-88 in his brand new Porsche! I think he had to go to a few high schools and tell kids not to do that...or some other horrible punishment.

Kyle Busch & Richard Childress have an altercation after the Truck race (http://www.sbnation.com/nascar/2011/6/4/2206997/kyle-busch-richard-childress-punch-nascar-truck-series-kansas-altercation-2011).
According to several sources, Childress removed his watch and handed it to grandson Austin Dillon before walking up to Busch.
Childress apparently didn't like what he heard from Busch upon speaking with the driver, and the 65-year-old grandfather placed Busch in a headlock and punched him two or three times.
Busch then went to the ground in a defensive position to avoid further injury, but Childress attempted to punch Busch again after he rose.
:rofl: :saywhat:
NEVER mess with a pissed-off 65 year old without a watch!:cool:

Guess NASCAR wants to leave the "theater" to the "talent". I suppose they are worried some owner will someday punch a France family member in the puss for not taking action against a driver who keeps tearing up other competitors' hardware. Frankly, if I was paying the freight I'd be pissed too.
Wonder what would happen if the owners simply took a collective bounty out on Kyle (NASCAR/Grandam style). First driver, every race, to take Kyle out gets half the winners' prize money. They can't suspend the whole field.
But I guess Kyle is good for ratings, so no, even if some owners are stuck paying for the collateral damage.

He deserved it. I mean what a flaming v****a that he gets raced hard, loses and cries about it by hitting some rookie's car.
Glad Childress didn't back down, and I hope someone else hits him harder next time. Brat.
AND AGAIN!...Can't believe he lasted THIS long! In the 'Cup chase and he effs-up in a truck race and gets sat down for the rest of the weekend! Smart move, bonehead! I don't think the racing community thinks purposeful wrecking is so cool, especially given recent events. :shakehead

There are also rumors that the sponsors are coming down heavily on Coach Gibbs to park Kyle for the remainder of the season.
No HANS and Hornaday easily could have been killed. So, 1) you are welcome, Mr. Hornaday and NASCAR, courtesy of Championship Auto Racing Teams, and 2) Busch is an idiot and his career should be over.
I couldn't care less about NASCAR, but do they not encourage grudges and questionable ethics in their drivers? Is anyone in the media pointing that out and taking them to task for operating a professional wrestling in cars entertainment show?

I love how the gomer announcers mention in overdone dramatical emphasis how the dude has been called to the hauler. It's like he has to report to darth vadar. NASCAR never changes, still as stoopid as ever. What they don't let the audience in on is how the brass in the hauler pat the dude on the back and cut him his bonus check for the press.
while no fan of NASCAR, that incident was way over the top. Not only did two trucks get destroyed, but I thought the whole banging thing when passing the lapper was pretty predictable from Busch's standpoint. The truck in the center is of course going to get loose, and it was pretty tame
the "retalliation" was however, even for NASCAR, over the top. The driver could have been severely injured, and of course he truck is toast.

Another gimmick gone aray
Freestyle motocross rider Jim McNeil, 32, died Sunday morning during practice for an exhibition that had been scheduled to coincide with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' AAA Texas 500 at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. The event was one stop on the 2011 Boost Mobile FreestyleMX.com Worldwide Tour; McNeil had been a member of the Boost FMX team for the last nine years.
According to a statement released by Boost Mobile, McNeil was practicing on The Midway at the Texas Motor Speedway when he crashed. He was taken by CareFlight to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

I'm with ya, Ziggy.... he could have serious hurt Hornaday, who is known to be far from a prince charming himself, but who is in the thick of a truck championship chase. He destroyed Hornaday's truck, for sure, and screwed up his own. Where I have the problem is that he drove him up into the outside wall, headfirst into the safer barrier and really could have ended Hornaday's point chase hopes, career and even life.
However, NAPCAB is loving the press this thing generates, and most everyone is calling for his season to be over, and some suggest that M&Ms and other sponsors call for Kyle's head.... JGR is going to have to make a tough decision, which Hendrick's made a few years back when they let him go from the #5 car.... I think Shrub must be a trip to deal with, had $Million dollar talent and a .10 cent brain..... like so many other drivers we know.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/C/CAR_NASCAR_KYLE_BUSCH?
"Multiple people familiar with Busch's schedule told the AP that Z-Line Designs asked this week that Denny Hamlin replace Busch in next weekend's Nationwide race at Homestead. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because Busch's future was still being discussed Thursday with sponsors and Joe Gibbs Racing.
Among the options being considered is Aric Almirola replacing Busch in the final two Sprint Cup Series races of the season, as primary sponsor M&M's decides how it wants to proceed with Busch. Although NASCAR has cleared Busch to race this weekend at Phoenix, JGR officials have been silent on his status in Sunday's Cup race."

M&M are pizzed
After a long Thursday apparently filled with discussions and deliberations, the Mars Inc. company announced late Thursday night that, despite removing its major signage from Joe Gibbs Racing cars for the rest of this season, it will resume sponsorship of Kyle Busch’s efforts next year.
The JGR No. 18 Toyotas will carry Interstate Batteries (a bedrock JGR sponsor) colors for the season’s final two Sprint Cup races after Mars decided to pull its familiar and colorful M&Ms signage from the cars.
When M&Ms returns in 2012, there will be the expectation, Thursday’s news release said, “that no future incident take place.”
“As a proud member of the racing community, Mars and the M&Ms brand strongly support the partnership we have with Joe Gibbs Racing and are committed to NASCAR. Yet, Kyle’s recent actions are unacceptable and do not reflect the values of Mars,” said Debra Sandler, chief consumer officer for Mars Chocolate North America.
“While we do not condone Kyle’s recent actions, we do believe that he has shown remorse and has expressed a desire to change. We believe our decision will have a positive impact on Kyle and will help him return next season ready to win.”

and this.
And you do realize what he did to Hornaday was on a YELLOW FLAG as well when safety crews could have been pulling on to the track or who knows what. Not only that he had his crew screaming in his ear to back off and don't do it. Also in this I'm not justifying people like Schumacher and Senna who blatantly caused wrecks either. But its a whole lot different when you have spent your season intentionally wrecking people, and then you go so far as to take someone out under a yellow flag, with a pit maneuver which is even worse.

Kurt Busch will no longer be driving for Penske Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, according to multiple reports Sunday.
Wow! Good for Roger Penske! I'm sure the sponsors told Roger they'd pull the plug if Kurt was in that car. How many times has he acted like that to Jerry Punch? Are you telling me that if that fan hadn't filmed it on his cel-phone and uploaded on youtube, it'll be a non-issue? :saywhat:

“Shell and Pennzoil are disappointed with recent actions by driver, Kurt Busch, at the final race of the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race season,” the company said in a statement. “His actions are in no way consistent with the way we want our brands represented and we have expressed our disappointment and concerns directly to Penske Racing.”
That'll do it most every time -- especially at Penske. He simply does not piss off his business friends. And anywhere in the Penske empire not cleaning off your desk at the end of the day can get you fired. Not being buttoned down or doing anything that isn't about success is seriously frowned upon.
Regan will/would be a good replacement.
Ironic in a way that Kurt is getting counseling to help with his "demeanor" in a year when bad boy Tony Stewart wins the title. Not too long ago Tony was getting counseling.
RebCar cottage industry in the making! Pitlane interviews come right after a visit to the RebCar Shrink Trailer. Sounds like Kurt was ambusched on his way TO the trailer. Bad move Jamie. You must setup the interview in the roped-off area outSIDE the Shrink Trailer!:thumbup:
Obviously that wasn't an isolated incident. That was probably melt-down number 10,000 in his 6 seasons at Penske. Just the fact that it went viral made Pennzoil/Shell crazy and they probably gave Penske an ultimatum. The guy needs help; watch him take a year off to sort himself out and come back with his own team.
Andrew Longman
12-05-11, 03:16 PM
...watch him take a year off to sort himself out and come back with his own team.There are some sponsors that have no issue with the publicity, good and bad, he creates. Just not button down corporate types like Shell and Pennzoil. Say, a bullcrap energy drink or Rachel's Potato Chip type.
And if he is willing to take a pay cut there are plenty of lesser teams who wouldn't mind having him -- so long as he doesn't tear up too much stuff -- because he can really drive.
But he probably would be better off working for himself or anyone else who can't fire him.
The Bush brother's parents must be really proud of their kids right now. :(:(
