Re: NASCAR - Have at it , boys.

The latest. Now we'll see if anything more comes from JGR and/or Mars...........

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR has fined Kyle Busch $50,000 and placed him on probation until Dec. 31 for his actions during the Nov. 4 Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.

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 Nationwide and Sprint Cup 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."

Harvick can take care of that in a few laps on Sunday. Well maybe not, Harvick is still in the chase - he might wait until Homestead. Where is Jimmy Spencer? He gave Kurt a good shot in the kisser a few years ago.

Jimmy would have given a lot more shots if he could ever catch anybody.

Kyle Busch out of ride for rest of 2011? UPDATE: on the website, tireball.com is reporting.....the rumors and if they are true, like they appear to be, then Kyle Busch is out of a ride until Daytona and now without sponsorship. Busch was parked this [last] week at Texas due to actions in the Camping World Truck Series when he wrecked fellow competitor Ron Hornaday under caution.(tireball.com).
AND in Twitter, SceneDaily's Bob Pockrass reports in a few Tweets:
NASCAR has given Kyle the OK to race. It's in the hands of the sponsor and the team.
On Kyle Busch: JGR still hasn't confirmed if he'll race Cup at PIR. I lean toward he'll race but wouldn't be surprised either way.
For those asking about Kyle and PIR, I think more likely he races than not, but JGR has yet to confirm that he will race.
AND II the weekly race preview for JGR/Kyle Busch has not been released as of yet when it usually comes out on Tuesday.
UPDATE: The fallout from #18-Kyle Busch's road rage at Texas continued Thursday when one of his sponsors asked for him to be removed from the season-ending Nationwide Series race. Multiple people familiar with Busch's schedule told the AP that Z-Line Designs asked this week that Denny Hamlin replace Busch in next weekend's Nationwide race at Homestead. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because Busch's future was still being discussed Thursday with sponsors and Joe Gibbs Racing. Among the options being considered is Aric Almirola replacing Busch in the final two Sprint Cup Series races of the season, as primary sponsor M&M's decides how it wants to proceed with Busch. Although NASCAR has cleared Busch to race this weekend at Phoenix, JGR officials have been silent on his status in Sunday's Cup race.(more at the Associated Press website)
for all the past news, statements, and updates on NASCAR's parking of Busch at Texas, go to Jayski's #18 team news page.(11-10-2011)

Re: NASCAR - Have at it , boys.

I was looking at nascar.com for news of my "favorite" driver (KyB) and ran across this NASCAR is dumber than a box of rocks

Well, duh.

The Cracks are beginning to show,

Looks like Interstate Batteries will be Kyle Busch's sponsor for the next couple races, this gives Mars Company some room to decide what they want to do although I think its already been decided just not announced.

 

[Don S]

Re: NASCAR - Have at it , boys.

Here's a link on the sponsor change from NASCAR.com. Interstate for the last 2 races in Sprint Cup for the 18, but M&M's will be back on it in 2012.
http://www.nascar.com/news/111110/kybusch-will-race-phoenix-but-without-sponsor-mms/index.html

He will not be driving the 18 in the Nationwide series at Homestead.

Re: NASCAR - Have at it , boys.

I'm reading this as Kyle still has the job in 2012 until he messes up again . . .

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.
"As a proud member of the racing community, Mars and the M&M'S brand strongly support the partnership we have with Joe Gibbs Racing and are committed to NASCAR. Yet, Kyle's recent actions are unacceptable and do not reflect the values of Mars," said Debra A. Sandler, Chief Consumer Officer, Mars Chocolate North America. "While we do not condone Kyle's recent actions, we do believe that he has shown remorse and has expressed a desire to change. We believe our decision will have a positive impact on Kyle and will help him return next season ready to win."
"We strongly support Mars' decision," said Joe Gibbs, owner of Joe Gibbs Racing. "This gives us all time to work together to foster a positive change where Kyle can continue racing in a way we can all be proud of."(Mars, Inc.)(11-10-2011)

Re: NASCAR - Have at it , boys.

I'm surprised that Interstate Batteries is willing to put their name on his car. I understand they have a long relationship with JGR. But still. They're almost like scabs during M&M's strike.... Looks like in 2012, they should be one big happy family again.......... Still too bad Shrubby didn't get parked for the last 2 races..

Re: NASCAR - Have at it , boys.

Might want to watch the live video conference at http://www.nascar.com/multimedia/webcast/media_conference/ at 11:30 AM/ET. Busch is supposed to be on it.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Re: NASCAR - Have at it , boys.

Thanks for the link. We'll see if everything Shrubby has to say is scripted or not.......

 

[Don S]

Re: NASCAR - Have at it , boys.

I watched it, and I really think he seen his life (career) flash in front of his eyes. We'll see what happens next year, I think he will be too scared to touch anyone elses car this year to be in the top 5 in any more races this year.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Re: NASCAR - Have at it , boys.

We'll see if he backs up his words with action, or lack there of, on the track. Time will tell...

I hear he blew his motor during practice today. He'll have to start at the back Sunday. We'll see if he tip toes thru the field and moves towards the front...... I wouldn't doubt if he goes out and tries to win the thing......

I bet Shrubby hopes he doesn't get near Harvick..... Bet Harvick hopes he does.....
