    Kurt Busch Ignored

    Is it just me, or was Kurt Busch ignored during much of the Talladega race, as he is during most races. He was invloved in the lap 7 big on, took damage, but came back to lead the race several times. He is now the points leader, which to me means he is the best driver with as we all know not the best equipment 'Penske'. Am I paranoid ?
    - :spinhead: Oh he turned him !!!

    No, you're not paranoid. Ignore Kurt every chance I get :

    Call it under the radar and enjoy it... it beats having the announcers gush on lovingly about them the way they do about "Wild Thing" & "Cousin Carl".

    Of course some on this forum are convinced that "Joonyer" gets all the airtime, but as a Earnhardt fan I've never noticed this.

    Maybe you'll even get to gloat at the end of the season.

    The plan is to ignore Kurt until he goes away. Some call it a conspiracy, others call it parenting.

    kurt isnt gonna last long at the top anyways, it is lesser equipment, and eventually he's gonna slide off.
    the drought is over--may there never be another with 115 races.

    seems like everyone likes talking about Kyle more then Kurt even tho
    Kurt is doing better in points, i guess cuz Kyle fights guys
    but i guess many forgot about Kurt vs Jimmy few years back
    thats why i think they ignore Kurt cuz hes more mature now

    Kurt is paying for the years of being a jerk and not winning enough to overcome it. It may explain Kyle. At some point, maybe he may not come off as a cocky jerk. I don't mind Kurt and never really have a whole lot other than his last year at Roush when he went a little wacky....
