As a fan of Kyle, I can't imagine what the hell the dumb f*cker was thinking.

There will be a missing ingredient today, that's for sure. Who will carry the a$$hole flag today?

Place your bets!

No kidding. He basically pissed in the eye of EVERYONE who'd been defending him this season(like me). I'm curious to see what happens next week. I suspect he might be gone for longer than just this weekend. But we shall see.

I don't believe there's any other driver in the field who can do it as well, but I'll pick Evil Opie.

Remember this race last year?
- Kyle flipped his pit stall offical the bird.
- Knaus fired his pit crew mid race.
- Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton wrecked and fought.

/good times

I forgot about chad firing his crew! There are so many stories this week and they are only talking about one. True it is a good one! Park him for the rest of the year.

The 48. 5-time will let his true personality shine, and he'll make Busch look like Mr. Rogers.

He needs to take some anger management classes. He wasn't thinking, it was just direct rage.

The only issue I have with the "A$$hole" picks is this: They're all chase drivers. I think they have too much to lose.

My pick: Vickers. He's always been a wild card. If I had to pick a chase driver: Gordon. He's pissed about pretty much being out of contention.

He needs Jimmie Spencer to pop him in the head. It worked for his brother.

This.

Evil Opie is in "I'mma gonna ride back here and score points" mode.

I could see Kenseth or Gordon getting fed up.

I like Vickers(especially after getting used as an automotive pinball last week.

My bet? Reutimann. He's got nothing to lose - literally. His ride is gone in 2 races.

You never expect the nice ones.

Which makes me think...Mark Martin(he has GOT to be fed up with this season)?

Wow. Douchebag. What did the spotter say?
 
2011-11-06 02:49:32 PM
Kyle's comments at the end of that video were pretty stupid, too. Thankfully, his wife, Coach Gibbs, and most important, his sponsors must have talked to him and convinced him he'd better apologize, even if he doesn't agree with it.

Just...ugh. Hate the sin, love the sinner, and all of that, but damn, he pisses me off sometimes. Such talent cloaked in a little boy bully's arrogance.

Yeah, that was incredibly unprofessional. "I lost my temper" ... and endangered someone's LIFE in the process, not to mention professional career, under a caution??? Crap.

My prediction 4 race suspension so he will miss Daytona, NASCAR is getting tired of his crap.

To all,

I've had a lot of time today to sit and reflect, and try to put my thoughts into words as best I can.

I want to sincerely apologize for my actions during Friday night's Truck Series race at Texas.

I apologize to my fans, all my sponsors, everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing and Kyle Busch Motorsports.

After talking with my team, it's great to have their support and encouragement to assure me that there are better days ahead. Even though this took place while driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, I am sorry for how difficult this has been for everyone associated with Joe Gibbs Racing's Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series teams.

I'd also like to apologize to Ron Hornaday Jr., and everyone associated with the No. 33 team in the Truck Series.

I understand why I was taken out of the car for the rest of the weekend. NASCAR officials had to act, and I accept their punishment and take full responsibility for my actions.

As a racecar driver, the hardest thing to do is to sit on the sidelines listening to cars on the track when you know you should be out there competing. For this, I have no one to blame but myself.

Through a lot of support from the people around me, I feel like I've made a lot of strides this year, but this was certainly a step backward. Moving forward, I will do everything I possibly can to represent everyone involved in a positive manner. However, I know my long-term actions will have more of a bearing than anything I say right now.

Sincerely,

Kyle Busch


Damned right, skippy. I say you sit parked for the season.

I can see them sitting him for the season(if not NASCAR, than Joe Gibbs and his sponsors). But I can't see NASCAR or Gibbs benching him for the first race of next season, three months later.
