    As well as pressure from Toyota.
    Problem is, if Gibbs drops him, he will get picked up in a heartbeat by someone else.

    If the guy is a winner, they sweep it under the rug and put up with it, usually.

    It's a real shame because I thought Kyle had straightened out this season.

    yeah, I thought so too (so did everyone else, it seemed). but I guess that was just PR spin.

    If JGR does can him, he'll get picked up elsewhere, but with increasingly poor teams (first Hendrick, then JGR, then...?).

    it's a tough spot, I still think he's the best driver in NASCAR right now, but nowhere close to the best racer.

    When are all you guys going to run out of starts for David Ragan? LOL
    I'm pissed because I thought I had until 2am Saturday to pick my drivers.

    to be honest, I can't believe I haven't yet :eek:

    of course, picking the wrong Kesolowski saved one start for me :)

    that head on hit he caused was actually a bit scary. a seemingly lesser hit killed DE.

    i am disappointed in busch. my buddy cody is his manager and he has had many a chat w/ him on keeping his cool. clearly not working!

    on the live/real time broadcast you could hear his spotter telling him to calm down, well before he drove Hornaday into the wall.

    I hope getting parked for a Cup race is the wake-up call this kid needs, because if this doesn't work, what will?

    it's too bad he is such a j o as he is a very good nascar driver. he does have talent but no more than a pea sized brain.

    I agree, his natural talent (car control, etc) is IMO the best in NASCAR right now. but he gets the red mist and goes loco.

    Seem's that only a serious injury to himself or even worse a serious injury to another driver caused by his ignorance will ***** slap him into reality. I wanna see Harvick whip his butt on national TV.

    What a load of BS!!!! Anyone can issue a statement combed over by their PR dept, what matter's is his ontrack action's. Now what really get's my goat is KB's attitude toward's the whole thing. I have stated before that I do not think a Cup driver should be racing trucks or the Nationwide serie's and KB has cemented that opinion for me.

    The above posted on 11/3

    I think I know why Hendrick dumped him.

    Kyle Bush is an exceptional race driver, but is far from the complete package.

    Ron Hornaday has every right to be very unhappy.

    With three races left, whilst I'm a fan of Cousin Carl...the guy with momentum is Tony Stewart..who's no stranger either to championships or success at Texas and Phoenix.

    Elsewhere, I'm glad Rick Hendrick made it through his incident at Key West airport last week... and what is all the fuss about Earnhardt Jnr...I've never been able to understand the fans motivation...at least Sam Hornish had Indycar success.

    As for Danica...the lady has talent and is using her sexuality and good looks to the full, who can blame her...Dan Wheldon proved were all only here once...I just wish people would stop fantasising she's going to make a successful transition to NASCAR..me, I'd rather see Trevor Bayne behind the wheel

    I don't think he'll learn a lesson on his own. Parking him for the rest of the season would be the safest solution for him and other drivers.

    I don't follow Nascar that closely, was his attack on Hornaday the most aggressive attempt to wreck someone badly?

    I don't understand, we were all *****ing about drivers not showing their emotions, and now that they are you're *****ing that they're out of control. NASCAR and Formula 1 is much more entertaining with these two drivers. Kyle and Lewis add an edge to race day.

    I googled it... he chased him down under yellow, and took several attempts to spin him into the wall at 140 mph (according to announcers). Hornietoad (sp?) went straight into the outside wall... hard impact. watch it,... I'm amazed he's not gone for all of next season, or getting a lifetime ban.

    I can't think of a more aggressive intentional crash.

    Frankly, he should be charged with criminal assault.

    there's a big difference between showing emotions and intentionally wrecking someone.

    The COT has become like a bumper car at the county fair. Drivers don't have the fear about being hurt anymore. Open wheel is a different story of course.
