- Busch opposes minimum age rule proposal
- Busch ends full-time Nationwide run
- Busch trying to be first to do NASCAR triple
- Busch to run 3 Nationwide races
- Like it or not, Busch is dominating NASCAR, and this is only the beginning
Top 8 along with positions 10, 11, 12, 13 and every other Cup regular in the field should not get points. thats the only way to solve the “Claim-Jumpers” problem.
i hate kyle hes way to damn reckless on the track
I agree with Ganjadude. Busch shouldn’t be driving a car.
IDK I seem to remember a few other drivers who were wreckless, but are now considered legends, even though they had to wreck people to win…. Not gonna name any names though…..

I believe the guys your talking about would bump you out of the way but not wreck you and Kyle could care less if he wrecks you as long as he wins and the only other driver i can think of like Kyle would be Ernie Irvin and he got taught by the other drivers to not do it anymore
Darrell Waltrip was another guy who was accused of driving recklessly and wrecking other drivers without concern for their safety. Also, a fellow theat the other drivers called Ironhead for his overly aggressive driving; now what was his name again? Oh yeah, Dale Earnhardt. So, as much as I hate Kyle Busch and his boneheaded driving; I have to admit that sometimes guys like that turn into good drivers.
Reasons I dont watch the Busch series:
toyota outspends the other manufacturers making their product superior
way too many cup drivers racing in it
way too many powerhouse teams dominating.
the series used to be a step up to the cup series
now its just a cup series practice race with a few struggling new names sprinkled at the bottom
The only driver to win a Cup, Nationwide and truck race this year. And all in Toyotas.

That is like saying you want to work a minimum wage Job because the job that somebody wants to offer you pays you too much.
In Racing there is no such thing as spending too much money. Go as one of your local engine builders how much it’ll cost to build a race engine and I’ll bet the guy will ask you how fast you want to go.
I havent talked to him in years but our local engine builder (Dorton) say 10 years ago was charging $7,000 for a street stock engine and i cant imagine what he is chrging now. If you didnt buy from him you werent going to win period unless you had a friend at a major race team.

And what does DW know except for a wore out BOGGITY BOGGITY BOGGITY, lets go racing, i cant wait for him to retire too
Kyle is just a little punk ___ jerk. Did anyone hear his remarks from the interview? He said “Well, they told me I HAVE to thank the engine builders, the guys back at the shop, I don’t know why”. WTF!?! What a ungrateful selfish bastard. As if the engine builders had nothing to do with the car-win.
He is nothing but a spoiled reckless brat and needs to be parked. There is no talent there. The only reason why he does as well as he has lately IS because of that team and the equipment they’ve GIVEN him!
F%^$ Kyle Busch. Scumbag. I think I actually hate this punk more then Johnson or Gordon put together… that’s saying something. LOL
Racers are kinda like football players. Sure the Water boy may do a necessary job, but he sure as heck isn’t the one out there winning the game.
