Is Rubberhead Kurt Busch?

G · 08-21-2007, 08:18 PM

I never have liked the chase. The whole thing is based on kissin owner/sponsor butt. Worse than the chase is the 35 car lock in ------ I'd end that tomorrow.

Back in the day Dale Sr. use to call Rusty Wallace rubberhead because he survived a bad acident. He told Rusty "Your head had to made of rubber in order to survive that crash" hence the name rubberhead. I guess Kurt inherited that name now a few years back. I don't know where that came from though. He got it before Rusty retired so him driving the blue deuce has nothing to do with it.

Kurt Busch was sponsored by Rubbermaid when Jimmy Spencer punched him in the face back in 2003. Hence the name. Just a cool coincidence that the car he inherited when he left Roush for Penske had a driver with the same nickname!

It seems like there is a changing of the guards. No more are there the drivers who work with their heads in the carburetor, just drivers who drive. We will miss Rusty as he rides out to the sunset[with his 3 wheel old persons bike, thanks to Daytona Motor Speedway]. He was coined the original "Rubberhead" by the Great one Dale Sr. after a horrific wreck at Talladega. His head was pinned downwards from the roof of his car. Senior was one of the first people to the scene. When safety workers cut the roof off Dale said his head popped up like it was made of rubber. Henceforth giving Rusty the nickname "Rubberhead". Ironically Kevin Harvick called Kurt Busch that 3 years ago at Daytona for being STUPID. With Rubbermaid as a sponsor Harvick coined that name on him. Kind of funny how the new "Rubberhead" is taking over the "Old Rubberhead's" ride. As for the new "Rubberhead, make Rusty and Penske proud, DON'T BE A ****!!!! God bless you Rusty we will miss you as you pedal off into the sunset on your new Daytona approved bike.

True, but he actually "inherited" the nickname from Kevin Harvick 4-5 years ago when Harvick referred to Kurt as Rubberhead as a slam for an on-track incident they had, taking a jab at his sponsor (Rubbermaid), while basically calling Kurt an idiot at the same time. Sometimes Harvick comes up with some really good interviews.

I got 8 out of 10 too.

I CAN"T WAIT. BRISTOL TONIGHT!!! On the new track even.

Azure Blurr · 08-25-2007, 11:25 PM

Kinda tame Bristol race! Atleast Carl got to do a back flip. Kinda thought K.K. had that one wrapped up!

Thunderbolt · 08-25-2007, 11:52 PM

The extra 3ft. wide of new track has really opened up the race for more passing and better outlets to avoid wrecks.

pic18 · 08-25-2007, 11:55 PM

2 top tens in a row for Bobby Labonte in his first 2 races with New Crew Chief Doug Randolph!!! Keep it up guys!

YAY! for Carl. First Ford win in the COT too.

New concrete plus hard tires made for a very tame race (WTF--they had green flag pitstops at Bristol!). At least people were racing each other and not driving conservatively to preserve points for the Chase. Best thing NASCAR did was go to the top 12 format so the races leading up to the Chase aren't snooze fests like they've been the last 3 years.

On to Kalifornia! (which was NASCAR's WORST decision...I miss Darlington dangit!)

02mach1 · 08-26-2007, 01:28 AM

Good old Carl did it tonight!

JusMachN · 08-26-2007, 04:02 AM

Backflip! w00t!

gvervoren · 08-26-2007, 07:05 AM

Congrats Carl. I would like to see Bobby L. win a race. He deserves it.

I think that would be very popular with the fans.

When you think about it, there is a huge number of fans that never saw the 43 win. Long gone are the days when it was 43 that was expected to win. We seem to have forgotten how good that team was with Richard driving. I also think new fans don't know that Kyle Petty was VERY competitive throught a 8 year period. He was really a threat to win and most races during that period.
