I actually like Kyle Busch, but this thread title is funny.

NASCAR handled it properly. Can't say the same for what the announcers were saying about it.

I like him just so I can piss in Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Jr. fan's cereal every chance I get.

Count me among his fans, too...as a driver. I think as a human, he is a bit of a piece of E36 M3, but to his credit, he has learned to walk away with his mouth shut.

The guy can flat out drive a car, though. I don't think there are many guys more talented.

I agree with this entire statement.

I kind of like Jimmie Johnson. The gen6 cars have made for a lot better racing as someone who never followed NASCAR before

So do I.

There are injured spectators, by the way.

I agree that Kyle Busch can drive and I also agree he is a little whiny pos.

That is a freak accident and I've been waiting for that to happen in football, nascar, etc. It statistically had to happen at some point.

I've always been a fan of Tony Stewart since his days in open wheel. Keselowski is a new favorite just because he came from nothing and worked his way to the top. Yes he has fish lips.

not a cable... a piece of rope use to move their magical trolley camera around over the track... i actually had a premonition that something was going to happen with that camera in the pre race when they had that one guy up on the roof where it's cables and rope were anchored saying how freakin' awesome it was...

i guess Fox had to end their part of the season with a bang- maybe next year Digger will pop out of his hole in turn 4 and get decapitated...

In reply to DirtyBird222: I wouldn't exactly say he came up from nothing. His dad Bob is an ARCA champion in addition to winning 26 races there. He also won a truck race.

talking about BK?

his parents mortgaged their house and everything they owned to give him a shot at the big time.. apparently being an ARCA champion doesn't in and of itself result in all the fame and money necessary to buy your kid a seat in a premium ride at the upper levels of American circle track racing..

i remember his first Cup win- Talledega, i think. he was driving for that one part time team that was sponsored by an Indian tribe and just sort of lucked his way to first place and everyone was all "Brad Kesewhoski?".. i think he was driving for JR motorsports in the Nationwide series at the time and was just "borrowed" out to that team to fill the sea and maybe get him some exposure to the bigger teams..

I thought it was interesting that the ESPN SportsCenter (or is it SportsTainment? I can't remember...) coverage was all about the FOX TV cables that broke and that FOX TV cables damaged cars and that the spectators were injured by FOX TV cables and FOX should just feel awful that their FOX TV cables injured so many people. FOX TV. Cables. Race. FOX. Watch ESPN on ABC.
