A short track somewhere
I know it's early and there will be A TON of nominees before tomorrow night is over, but let's get the list started.

Kyle Busch for intentionally wrecking Jennifer Jo Cobb in the Truck race. This is why I have a problem with Cup guys running the minors -- they have no problem wrecking ROOKIES because they don't move over fast enough for them. How are they supposed to get more experience when they're getting sent behind the wall by Cup guys who preach patience every week.

I guess they better find some speed then.

Whatever. If it was Brad Keselowski who did the same thing, you and the other Kyle lovers would be throwing a hissy fit.

And if it had been reversed, you'd be throwing a hissy fit about how Jen Jo wrecked Kyle.

Well, you used to like kyle..now you hate him...Just like anything with you, you change you mind faster than the wind changes direction
 
The interlopers are racing for the win and don't have to make living in the series so they can just let fly. In many cases they don't have to worry about payback the next week, either.

Cup guys are not the only ones causing wrecks in the truck series. It's not always a cup guy who wrecks Cobb. Heck it's not even always another driver who wrecks her.
 
I'm having a hard time chosing this one. I give it a tie to Tony Raines for not knowing where the brake is and running into the back of Tony Stewart and costing him a top 3 finish or Jimmie Johnson for wrecking himself. Both incidents caused those drivers potential top 3 finishes and were the only two that looked to have anything for Busch.
 
Tony Raines for more less ending Tony's night. Moron Montoya for taking out JJ and risking crashing half the pack.
 
After watching all four races @ Bristol this past week & weekend my vote goes with Kyle. Triple or not, his dump of JJC & BK weren't necessary to have accomplished his goal. It certainly gave everyone something to talk about though.

I agree. Kyle all the way.

I disagree with that. It was absolutly necessary to get those turds out of the way.


I nominate Brad K for not going ahead and dumpinng Kyle when he had the chance then acting suprised when his car got spun. Everyone watching nascar had a good idea of what was about to happen next after brad got into Kyles bumper. There are some drivers, Kyle, Edwards and Stewart being at the top of the list, that you don't play games with when it comes to driving rough. He has already gone toe to toe with Carld and ended up catching air and one would think he had learned his lesson by now. Either do it or don't, don't play around with it. Brad didn't so Kyle did.
 
Jennifer Jo Cobb wasn't going as fast as the rest of the pack and Kyle couldn't get around on the outside of her cause the rest of the pack was flying by her on the high side so he moved her so he wouldn't get stuck in the back. Almost everyone in the race would have done the same thing.

Last time I checked, Bristol has 2 grooves. With all his talent, he should have taken the high road, literally, and figuratively.
He's just a pud, plain and simple.
The only problem is, the little rat is smart enough to know who NOT to tangle with. He'll step in the trap one of these days, and when he does, it'll be good.

Ummm, yeaahhh, OK. Keep thinking that. Like I said in another thread:

Kyle said it best on Friday night

Kyle for dumping Brad when it was Shurb's falght.

Pablo did not dump 4 time, 4 time came up. One replay showed him come up, but yet i just saw them show it one time.
 
ESPN for repeatedly saying Pablo wrecked Jimmie when one replay showed Jimmie clearly coming up and chop-blocking Montoya putting himself in the wall.
 
Bonehead has to go to ABC for their pathetic coverage and blackouts galore.
 
The rubbing the false tears, smashing guitars.................... all perfect examples of someone with no class.

Might be a hero for some of you but not for me.

I was hoping that he might change one day and act like a gentleman (boring driver to some of you) but I don't see that happening.

One day he will step over the line with the wrong person and get a size 11 up his ass.

Until then, he will play the clown.

And the higher groove was filled with cars flying by him because Cobb couldn't get moving fast enough. Even the best talent can't get into an opening that isn't there. She wasn't moving fast enough so she got moved.
 
I have to go with the majority here. Let's nominate the guy who kicked everyone's ass and won 3, that's 3 races in the same weekend. :eek:

Maybe we could just make him the bone head of the year!? :sarcasm:

I'll go with that.

I agotta go that way too. Something like 9 markets opted to black out the race in favor of meaningless, pre-season football..

That would be somewhat akin to dropping a Thurdsday night NFL game to show Sprint Cup practice sessions.

It's hard to blame them. Sunday's Vikings/49ers NFL exhibition game earned a 7.2 rating, which is double of a lot of the NASCAR races this year.

There's also a lot of drama circulating around the Vikings right now. If that much drama was going on in NASCAR, it would have more viewers as well.

So obviously he ran out of patience, and went into an opening that wasn't there....don't make excuses for the idiot.

What exactly did Kyle do that numerous other drivers haven't done? Drivers such as Johnson, Gordon, Montoya, Edwards, Keselowski, Earnhardt, Harvick, Hornaday, Bodine, Crafton,and many others have moved or turned other drivers. Why is it so wrong when Kyle does it?:confused:

He makes a habit of it, which in itself, isn't bad. The problem I have with the little puke, is when he's on the receiving end, he storms off to cry like a little b!tch, and at times, even ran like a little girl, right out of the track.
He is the number one example, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, of someone who can dish it out, but by no means can ever take it, ever! :moon:

Nailed that one, MoMike.

He didn't just bump Cobb out of the way. He pushed her and spun her out even though she had trucks along side of and in front of her. She couldn't get out of the way if she wanted to.

It is one thing to bump and even push a little out in the open to make your point and get someone to move. I don't have a problem with that as it is part of racing.

What he did with Cobb was a punk move.

I wasn't convinced that he intended to turn her. It looked more like he was on the gas and she wasn't. Either way he turned her and certainly could have waited a lap or two to get around her. He was good enough to win either way.

At the end of the day, if he hadn't done that, the KB haters would have found something else to try to discredit his unprecedented accomplishment this weekend.
 
I would vote for Kyle as well, but he did win all three races. Not a big fan of cheap shots, but it's hard to call him a bonehead when he brought home the big bucks.

I have to wonder if it was coincidence or not because he did the exact same thing to Johanna Long in a limited late model race last year in Pensacola (the class of cars where he's usually more timid and races cleaner and is respected more by the fans).

That one didn't go over at all since Johanna Long is as popular at Pensacola as Dale Jr is at Talladega.
