My Take On Kyle

Dustin Long on twiter. JGR & Mars confirms M&M's won't be on Kyle's car final 2 races of year but will be back with Kyle in 2012.
 
fastfordfan, I'd like to comment on your original post, as it seems that it's getting off course a bit.

I agree with you that Kyle could be the best to sit behind the wheel of a race car, but then again, it's damned hard to make comparisons to those who went before him. Be that as it may, as far as the "boys have at it" causing this sort of thing, let's be honest. This isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened on the track. If you go back to the very early days of NASCAR, you'll find that intentionally putting another driver into the wall wasn't a rarity, but rather quite often. It was a race of survival at times, and the rookies were at risk most often. And some of the biggest names in NASCAR were guilty. What toned down the action wasn't really something that NASCAR did, but rather the reaction of those who paid money to sponsor the cars and teams. The more money that was put in, the more power the sponsors had. Rightly or wrongly, that is what happened. NASCAR's fan base has been dwindling over the past decade and of course NASCAR will try to do anything to change the trend. The "boys have at it" was there response after many fans began saying that the racing was getting too tame and boring. Yes, it more or less led to Kyle losing his mind and doing what he did, but I really believe that he would have done that even before "boys have at it". Kyle is a loose canon and who knows what his future is. However, NASCAR has to keep two things in balance, the fans and the sponsors. If you lose one, the other will more or less lose out too.

BTW, as for Almirola, he was brought up in the diversity program by Joe Gibbs. Maybe that is one of the reasons he was asked if he could fill in.

He is one of Kyle's best friends....He was one of the groomsmen in Kyle's wedding
 
I can see by this point that this will all blow over and next season will be back to normal. But I guarantee Kyle burned several bridges this time and he probably won't be given the same slack next time (and we all know there WILL BE a next time with Kyle). Going to be interesting. That's not how you win Championships.
 
UPDATE 4: Statement from M&Ms: Mars, Incorporated announced that they will be removing Kyle Busch from driving the M&M'S car for the remaining two races of the 2011 NASCAR season as a result of the incident during last Friday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. The car will not run with the M&M'S paint scheme until 2012, at which time Kyle Busch will be the driver with the expectation that no future incident take place.

You make reference to a show that ran for two years in 1976-77 and expect us to get that? I Googled it and still don't get it.

I never said he was the BEST I said one of the best
And again I think It could have stopped before last weekend
 
Kyle Petty was asked how Kyle would do back in the day, and Petty said "not good. He would get his ass kicked".

In the old days there was nothing in place to tone down drivers it was all boys have at it But several years ago Nascar had toned down the drivers for whatever reason then they let them go a little BUT and this is one of my points there was again to much gray area and an invisable line if Nascar would have handled Carl Harvick and Brad this would NOT HAVE HAPPENED PERIOD

Wow, I thought that was obvious. I was wrong, so thanks for clearing that up. ;)

We'll all get to hear from Kyle himself at 11:30 EST during the nascom webcast.
 
Mars statement on why they withdrew support for Kyle Busch.

LOL

I really don't need y'all's help to feel old - but thanks! ;)

And yes, Mary Kay Place was the wanna-be country singer. Very Good!

And Flash, this century is only 11 years old!

I remember rushing home from work to watch the show. It was quirky and stupid and oh, so good!
