Hmmm? Maybe NASCAR will park Kyle Busch for the Cup race this weekend because of his antics during the truck race? They did it to Harvick...

[Sparky1329]

That will never happen. Kyle gets away with everything all the time.

[Sparky1329]

Well, I'll be darned. I can't believe NASCAR stepped up to level a righteous smackdown on the punk. It's about time!

Wow NASCAR finally stepped up and put him in his place.

What Kyle Busch did to Ron Hornaday in the truck race was not racing, it was criminal.

Kyle Busch should be set aside from any NASCAR racing for the remainder of the season.

Michael McDowell is driving the 18 on Sunday. Not sure who's starting and parking the 66.

[Alexamateo]

Josh Wise is in the #66

Well said. In light of recent sad events in Motorsport I'm appalled at this behavior. Honestly I don't think he should ever be allowed to sit in a race car again.

Kyle is getting what he deserves, perhaps some anger managment may be needed.

I was totally astounded by this:


Busch should quit NASCAR for IndyCar A reader writes, Dear AR1.com, NASCAR got IndyCar's worse driver, and IndyCar should go after and get NASCAR's best driver - Kyle Busch. Hands down he is the best driver in NASCAR and probably the only driver over there with enough talent to drive an IndyCar. He is probably so pissed at NASCAR right now I hope he quits and Randy Bernard goes out and recruits him. It would be the shot in the arm IndyCar needs. Ray Smith

Just what Indy car racing needs, a multi-millionaire, immature idiot spoiled brat like Kyle Busch intentionally crashing other Indy cars and drivers.

Kyle Busch should be highly pissed at himself for being so self-centred he didn't consider very recent tragic racing events, and pulled a bonehead move that left NASCAR no other option but to set him down - hard.

Best NASCAR driver? ROTFLMAO. You can't be the best driver if you aren't in the races.

Try and imagine what Joe Gibbs was saying to Kyle this morning in Kyle's motorhome.

When does he get his drivers license back?

Just finished watching my recording of the race as I was unable to watch it live. Great race, Tony's really taking it isn't he?

I suppose this is what Nascar envisioned with the chase. Tony was truly off his game earlier this year. (Remember his comments after Michigan) There was an outside shot he was going to fall out of the top 10 late, and of course he had no wins. But, the chase has started and now he's on fire and has a super shot at winning it all. It's going to be a great last two weeks.

[MD24]

It's going to be a great last two weeks.

It sure is

Go Smoke :D
