A little Busch fallout.....
Is this a sign?
Gibbs and others are saying that Kyle was never on there, and the site remains unchanged from before the truck race.
And there's this.....
Just announced by Turner Motorsports: Ron Hornaday in the #32 car in Phoenix.
Now whats unusual about that is NASCAR saw fit to handle the situation on Monday rather than their normal Tuesday routine. Wonder why?
M&M's removing Kyle from the webpage is intriguing. Remember, Hendrick fired Kyle Busch reportedly because Kellogg's wanted him out.
They didn't. He was never on that web page. Pay attention.
Exactly how does a candy have "values"?
NASCAR has fined Kyle Busch $50,000 and placed him on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31 for his actions during the Nov. 4 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. Kyle Busch violated Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing) of the 2011 NASCAR Rule Book. NASCAR took immediate action, parking Busch for the remainder of Friday night's event and maintaining the parked position for the NASCAR Nationwide and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. On Monday, the parking directive was lifted by NASCAR. In issuing Monday's penalty, NASCAR went on to say that "if during the remaining NASCAR events in 2011 there is another action by the competitor that is deemed by NASCAR officials as detrimental to stock car racing or to NASCAR, or is disruptive to the orderly conduct of an event, the competitor will be suspended indefinitely from NASCAR."

I'm sure Kyle can be good for two races I think the probation should go just a little bit into next season at least the first 10 races of the next cause two races isn't really even long enough.
NASCAR deemed that it was enough. That's what matters at this point. I think sitting him out for 2 races, costing him a chance at the championship in Cup, $50,000, probation with a threat of permanent suspension and certainly a secret probation for 2012 is enough of a penalty. You mileage WILL vary.
Agreed, there's really nothing that can be gained from wrecking Busch. However, there IS something to be gained from finishing at a higher position than Busch.
The physcological torment that Hornaday is going to give Kyle will be classic...He is going to play games with that kid the entire race....The ultimate goal will be to make Kyle LOSE IT just one more time....Someone should start a poll....which lap does Kyle come unglued after seeing Hornaday in his rearview mirror lap after lap.......
hornaday hasn't shown much in cup before. doubt ron will be close enough to be seen in kyle's rearview mirror much. better chance of seeing him through the windshield when he laps him.
Kyle Busch....... the T.O. of Nascar.
Just like T.O., if he keeps this up, no one will want him. Or at least none of the higher paying teams anyway.
The man is his own worst enemy.
Let's hope he can get some help before he becomes poison to everyone that has a team worth driving for.
Yep. Kyle's got to watch his Ps and Qs now. He's already burned bridges with Roush, Childress and Hendrick. If he adds Gibbs to that list, he's running out of options.

When you posted this I thought... he never drove for Childress. Then I thought more and realized, oh yeah, Richard punched him in the face, I guess that is a bridge burned.
Michael McDowell made $140,000 for finishing 33rd. Kyle lost some big bucks this past weekend because he was parked.
He could always start his own Sprint Cup team, but the problem in that would be acquiring sponsorship.
Richard isn't in need of drivers anyhow. Burton will retire soon and he has the grandkids he needs cars for.
Ty's 1,000 times better than Austin but he's just like Kyle Busch -- takes people out in an instant if they're racing him too hard. And he lucked in to most of his ARCA wins.
Stewart's the only successful owner-driver in nearly two decades.
