Re: NASCAR thread
 

And Kyle Busch doesn't understand the pressure and hard work that I and the guys in my field, or most of everyone on this site put in every day on the job. Unfortunately most of us can't walk away and hold our tongues. We have to deal with the issues and be professional.

As for Busch showing maturity, you really can't be serious are you? He has to be one of the most immature drivers I have ever seen. Regardless if he is under 25 or over 40, he acts 16(even most of them are more mature). There is nothing mature about ripping your team in the open, complaining, and treating media rudely.Dealing with the media comes with the job. If he don't like it, he can go sell Toyota's instead of racing one.

There really are not that many drivers who spew bs at the camera and make themselves look stupid. That honor went to Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch. But even they have calmed down. Nope Kyle Busch is in a league of his own. Fortunately in life there are very few pathetic, egotistical, full of themselves, jackasses as this guy is.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Saturday night racing! Allstar race Baby! Its the only one I will watch completely, or until I fall asleep. I usually wake up with 10 to go.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'd love to, but since they decied to only show it on the (lack of)Speed Channel, it won't be on here. That makes nearly as much sense as funelling the Indy 500 qualifying to the (no one's ever heard of) Versus network.
So...'till next week!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm not going to place blame here or even say he's at fault, but once again Kyle Busch is involved in a wreck that takes a car out. :12:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

What a great race!! The final 10 lap segment was incredible. Kyle Busch has balls of steel with that move he made. When they showed the replay from what I saw Gordon tapped Busch and then Busch got into Newman. I've got nothing against Stewart winning. Good job to him.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Just tight racing. Newman had it wrapped up if he had not hit the wall. Shrub has some nads!!!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Here's what I saw. I saw Newman running the high line and Jeff Gordon running a low line.These lines were run all night. Kyle Busch decided to get aggressive and run a middle line. If you recall, Busch stacked them pretty good a few minutes earlier with his "balls of steel" move. Kyle created this line with his aggressiveness. As a result all three of those cars became a non factor after that point. With a little patience and some common sense I think that Busch may very well have won that race.

I don't queston his ability, his agressive nature, or that he has the makings to be a great champion. But until he learns some patience and chooses more wisely he's going to continue having nights like last night.

It's funny how different people see different things. I guess a Gordon fan will see it as Kyle's fault. A Busch fan will see it as Gordon's. Either way with a little common sense this would not have happened. Never the less it was exciting as heck.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm all about making it exciting. Busch takes alot of chances and I'm sure he plays by the rule of trying anything once. Next week he might take out half the field with some other move, or wrecking someone out of the way and I'll condemn him. I'm not a Kyle Busch fan at all, but his aggressiveness can glue you to the tv because you never know what he's gonna do. Very unpredictable.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm quite sure the other 42 guys on the track feel differently about him in this regard.

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm sure they do, but then you have people on here whining that the races are boring too.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Here's what I really hate(other than his disregard to other drivers) about the punk(yes Kyle). After that race Ryan Newman and Jeff Gordon were accessible to the media. Both were professional, and yes both were dissapointed. But the point is they treated the media and the fans with respect, didn't shoot accusations, and made an appearance.

What did Kyle do? The same thing he always does when he don't win. He storms out, brushes off the media, and then goes and whines in his trailer. If the idiot wins a race he mocks the crowd with his pathetic bow, gloats in front of the camera with his freaking ears flapping, and talks about how great he is and the team. When he loses he's a loser and when he wins he's an even bigger loser.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I would have to agree with you on all aspects here. ^^^^

Although Kyle is a great driver, he is impatient and very immature in my opinion. He does make it an exciting race once in awhile but I think he needs to think of what he is doing to the other teams by his actions too.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I actually can say I enjoyed 10 laps of a NASCAR race in 2009! Whodathunkit?!?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Who will be last lap of the 600, I hope be one of the Roush cars:wings:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I saw on the Nascar website that during the long rain delay for the 600 they drug tested 10 drivers. That would be an unexpected time for a whiz quiz.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Looks like the 'delay' turned into a 'see ya tomorrow' event.

I like the fact that Busch gotten totally robbed of his Nationwide victory. I really like what the winner, Bliss, said about it. He said he knew it was pretty much handed to him, and he was happy about it and besides, Kyle had already won too many and nobody liked him anyway!

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

He shouldn't have said that, someone could get their feelings hurt. It's not that I don't like Kyle ..........................................

Wait, that is it. I don't like Kyle at all. :23: :23: :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Chalk up another cheap win for Michael Waltrip and/or his race team. That's two rainout wins and two wins by being blocked for by either or both Earnhardt's. D.W. was talking up Michael's trophy case. Try winning a race legitimately for once.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I bet Kyle feels like crap!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA........

Re: NASCAR thread
 

He didn't seem that way in the post race interview...oh, wait...he didn't do one!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I wonder if they've axed afew pit crew guys. They have'nt been alot of help either.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

This has happened before, right?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It should not have taken this long. I don't think they have been successful together without Tony Sr / Dale Sr looking out for them. Tony Jr will be fine somewhere else and Jr needs someone he will listen to but won't put up with his crap. :butt:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

You can't blame the guys in the pits if you keep driving past your own pit box.
JR. is over rated and now it seems like he does'nt care. Its just a great job in a car he does not own. ( NO PRESSURE ).
don't get me wrong, I like JR, but there is no focus from him anymore.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

agreed

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I agree, prior to Eury Jr. Dale was a very competitive driver. The change should have happened a long time ago.


I will agree with you that not all the responsibility is on the pits, Jr. has to take some of the blame. As for Jr. being over-rated, I 'm not sure I would use that term, I would say over hyped would be better. Dale Jr. is a very good driver. He has 18 wins in the big show and 16 of them were from the years of 2000-2004. There are not a whole lot of drivers that can say they've won that many races.

Since Tony Eury Jr. has been the crew chief Jr. has only won 2 races. So yes, the change needed to happen.

And for the record, I am not a Jr. fan. I don't dislike the guy, but I don't cheer for him either on race day. There are a dozen other drivers I'd rather see win.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Another great no-win by Kyle in the N-Wide series today. Can't wait to hear him in his post-race interview...yeah, right.
He's already been a jerk to his crew on the radio afterwards...

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I don't even think this guy is trying to act the part of being a villian. The guy is a born natural at being a jerk. This week he made a comment to the media about Dale Jr. He stated, everytime Jr. is not competitive it's the crew chiefs fault, after this move no more excuses. A true statement, but a driver does not drag another driver under the bus like that when it has nothing to do with him. I can't stand the punk!!!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I thought Gibbs could reign him in after his departure from HMS. Guess not. Can't wait to see what he does to Logano, whom I don't really think had anything to do with the Busch colaspe at the end of the race, although he was apologizing already...and awating the inevitable confrontation.

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Wow, super race today. :worship:

The 48 really needs to be looked at closely, he's not that much better than the rest of the field. :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I think the advantage he has over everyone is Jack K. Best crew chief in NASCAR.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

ugh!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I agree he's one of the best crew chiefs, but the driver is pretty good as well. Good win for the #48(yes it's possible to like both Hendricks and Roush) and not a bad showing with Biffle, Kenseth, and Edwards.

And I'm sure most of us can agree that when Shrub finishes out of the top 20 that is a good thing.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Was tha a fart?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Just disgust that "JJ" won. I'd rather seen Tony get it.
I think JJ needs to shave too.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

He dedicating this season to Don Johnson, his true hero.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Who da hale is Jack?????

JJ's crew chief is freaking "Chad"............... :23:

Oh crap, that's his secret!!! JJ has an invisible and invincible crew chief named Jack K. Is this K from MIB???

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Thats JJ"s :secret: for winning. He has 2 crew chefs. :23:
