Who EVER takes Kyle..I wish them the best of luck! That kids has alot of growing up to do! Whoever takes him needs to put him over there Knee and whack him a couple times, letting Kyle know who is Boss and then let him drive a car! Good luck whoever gets him, he will be a handful!!

let’s see a show of hands from anyone who driven any kind of race car much less a cup car, then start calling anyone with the skills and talent do so a punk!!! After the trucks K B went to ASA, (remember them) and late models until turning 18, then R H won the bedding war for him. Much like he tuck Jeffie away from Bil Davis after Davis took him out of sprint car, put him in a Bush car with verbal to race cup for him. The end of the verbal contract in NASCR and the start of the agents and attorney’s.

Thats correct, Biffle is going to resign with Roush. I think onw of the guys did say a good point with Busch going to Toyota. They mioght take BUsch. I forgot about Reagan Smith, I think he won’t go to Ginn Racing because they’ll have more than 4 drivers for next year.

When he grows up? Is that what he said? He’s such a punk on the track he has alot more growing up to do to be considered a true Nascar driver. I hate him, he sucks, and he looks like a bug!

OK OK i heard that kyle did run with roush in the craftmen truck series.. i doesn’t need to be repeated 20 times to get through people’s heads.. now on topic.. busch may be still a kid but he does have alot of talent as much as i hate him… not even sure if jr. would do better in his ride.. we will wait and see.. jr is still riding with DEI till the end of the season though so don’t be dissing DEI!

You all have to remember that Kyle has not had all of the chances to grow up and mature
at the lower levels like other drivers. He was moved up quickly. Give him a break, he is
still learning just like anyone that young is.

Anonymous-If you’re the same “Anonymous” that keeps calling people
names, you’ve been proven wrong on every post. It’s not confirmed
that Regan will be in that car, nor has it been denied. Spongezilla
was just listing their view of the pros and cons of each situation.
Chill the hell out dude.

And the rumor of a flip-flop is just that;; a rumor. Why he would sign
with DEI, I don’t know. Just like Jr, he’s got more talent than that.
And I agree, Kyle can be an absolute prick on the track sometimes.
But I will argue to the day that he’s not a little prissy-fit throwing
brat off the track. Last year we met him shortly after a bad Busch
series qualifying run at Watkins Glen, and he was slightly depressed
over the run but was cordial and signed autographs down a long line
of people.

I don’t think Kyle will end up at Ginn unless Marlin or Nemechek leaves or unless they start a new car. They’ve already been grooming Regan Smith for the 01, I expect that they’ll look to put him in that car full-time. I wouldn’t expect Marlin or Nemechek to have too many more years in their cars as they’re both near the end of their careers.

Far as Mark Martin I think that’s largely in his court on if/when he wants to park it. Ginn paid a lot of $ to get him there and I think if it were up to him, he’d get him to run the 01 full-time (actually had said that if Mark wanted to drive the car full-time when he was the point leader he’d put Regan Smith in a 4th car, which they’ve had him try to qualify at times as-is). It all really depends on what Mark wants to do.

DEI sounds like a good fit or Roush if Biffle leaves. There was some talk that Biffle might go wherever Pat Tryson ends up, and there was talk he was maybe going to DEI. That could leave the 16 car open for Kyle, assuming Biffle doesn’t resign with Roush. A lot of what people “say” they’re going to do (i.e. “I want to resign with Roush”) doesn’t always play out. Lord knows Rick Hendrick denied that he was after Dale Jr. because he had his 4 drivers and look what happened…

I also wouldn’t count out Toyota landing him either. It’d be a major coup for them if they landed Kyle as he’s got boatloads of talent even if he can be a colossal ignoramus at times. The way MWR has struggled I think he’d be a more legitimate talent for the 44 or 55 than both Mikey and DJ at this time. There’s also room at BDR and RBR for more cars… 2 a piece actually. Granted… I’m not sure if Kyle is Napa or UPS material though at MWR but I can’t see Kyle being a bad fit next to Allmendinger and Vickers, and he might be the strongest talent at Bill Davis next to Mayfield and Blaney.

I’m not a Kyle Busch fan but I don’t think anyone can argue with his raw driving talent. If they could find someone to mentor him in the way that Harry Hyde reigned in Tim Richmond, he could be a tremendous asset to just about any team. He’s almost a Childress-like driver in that he’s aggressive and brash, type of driver Richard was coined to saying he preferred (although I happen to like his pick of Jeff Burton a lot and lord knows Jeff is not stereotypical of a Childress driver). That can get him into heaps of trouble at times but it’s also a bit of what makes Kyle the talent he is too.

Kyle Busch does not know what he has just thrown away. Maturity cost him one of the best rides in the business. He sure knows how to wreck his career…and alot of race cars…

KyBu was most certainly at Roush. Kurt wound up in Jack’s doghouse at the time for not telling him his brother had other plans. Kurt claimed he had no knowledge of his brother leaving. I heard that Derrike Cope’s team needs a sponsor and a full time driver. I think KyBu would be a good fit there.

Kyle Busch sealed his fate when he won the first COT race. It was supposed to be a great victory for Rick Hendrick, showing that he could dominate Nascar no matter what car they drove. But Kyle ruined that by acting like a baby in victory lane crying about how much he hated the COT. That attitude and demeanor is not what Rick Hendrick wants. We’ll find out the truth next year. Right now Kyle is saying the right things so he doesn’t get booted out of the 5 car early. But I think we’ll find out Hendrick didn’t try too hard to renegotiate that contract, and probably stopped trying altogether once Jr informed everybody he was leaving DEI.

Hendrick is probably glad that Kyle Busch is gone. He’s not a team player and he always leaves his team when they need him the most. Prime examplei s a tTexsd earlier this year
