Kurt Busch Fired

[Markfan]

That was a ban worthy action?

Try to do that in an NR2003 league and see if you are allowed back. You don't wreck someone on purpose during a race.

Well what he did this year should make Joe watch him like a hawk next year.

Yup. I can vouch there. I did that once and no big name league will allow me in. I was naive and didn't know anything, and that got me banned from most leagues. Got me kicked out of leagues I was already in.

Haven't even attempted to online race since. Well, OK, thats a lie. I did get into one league. But that was a new one. I never raced a race. Only did some practice laps in the summer.

I don't even have time to do anything with NR2003 anymore, so it's not that big of a deal.

I really hope David Reutimann get his ride!

As for Kurt couldn't happen to a nicer guy, lol. I've been miffed by him since I first heard him rant on the radio at the 600 last year. Just nothing but wining and complaining. Now we'll see how much he hates his cars at penske when he's without a quality ride.

To be honest though I have doubts he can get a ride even with a Start&Park. His price tag is gonna make it hard for those teams to pick him up unless he's gonna take a major pay cut. It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

Haha yeah I remember

Yeah, I'm on the Reuti to Penske bandwagon as well. I'd throw Landon Cassill into the mix too.

I'm going to guess though that Shell Pennzoil had a large say in this move. The sponsors are big decision makers in this day and age, and my guess is that they're sponsoring Penske because of Penske moreso than Kurt Busch.

I'd be shocked if Kurt doesn't have a ride by Daytona though. The almighty past champion's provisional, as mentioned before, will be on every go or go home team's radar.

Kurt & Kyle race for different teams, different sponsors. There's really no comparing crimes & punishments. If you try to, nothing will make sense. The parallel you're looking for does not exist.

If Roger has indeed chosen to release Kurt, no doubt the choice was made with at least the consent of Shell/Pennzoil, and possibly their request. Shell/Pennzoil's last PR regarding Busch indicated a clear denouncement of Kurt's actions. The world can be cruel & unfair at times. I wonder if Kyle Busch will ever know just how lucky he is to know he'll be racing the Daytona 500 in the #18 M&M's Toyota.

As for where Kurt Busch will race next, I believe Stewart-Haas still needs a driver for the #10 when Dancia isn't driving it.

 

[Janitor Dave]

Apparently, a movement has started to get Brad K's brother Brian into the #22. I'd like to see that pan out, but it's unlikely.

 

[Orian Thompson]

I honestly like Brad to stay in the 2 car

Being a douche is being a douche regardless of who you drive for. They've both brought a negative light to their teams, manufacturers and sponsors for their antics.

 

[DPawlak]

Kurt had his big ears fixed a few years ago... now maybe he'll get his big mouth fixed.

Yet again gonna hold my tounge to save myself.

 

[Ryan597]

You deserved that Kurt. You finally paid the price. Acting negatively doesn't get you anywhere in life.

 

[CodeRed22]

I honestly think that Sam Hornish is going to take over. Driving for him in the nationwide, past driver, good friend of Rodger, he's got a good shot at it.

 

[DE3]

Let this be a warning...don't mess with Dr. Jerry Punch's interview.

 

[Hyperacti]

Anyone else think Michael Waltrip will jump at the chance to add Kurt Busch to his stable? And I mean with a new team and everything. Waltrip is the only owner that could and would make it happen in a snap. For a driver like Kurt Busch, I think he'd do it too.

Just think about what that would do for the strength of MWR's driver stable. You sign Mark Martin, Clint Bowyer, and Kurt Busch in the same season. Holy moly.

I really think Mikey could jump at this.

Sure, but people were complaining that Kurt may have been fired for that whereas Kyle was not. There's no point in even trying to make sense of that, or complaining that that doesn't make sense. It's just how the wretched world is. Hopefully Kyle realizes just how lucky he is.

EDIT: Oh, and Carl, we don't ban people around here simply for having opinions. We welcome opinions. However, we do not welcome people pulling a Kurt Busch in their expression of said opinions.

 

[DE3]

Maybe he can get a job driving his bro's truck next year.

 

[Carl Robinson]

Your right matt and I apologize.
