I'm picturing him as one of those last place for 20 year blow hards you try to avoid at any track, (we all have one of those) and ignore any "advice" they bore you with.
I'd really love to see how you would do in a truck.. see if you can do any better than him
LOL .. forget about who u like as a driver .......... penalizine K.B is not the issue ...penalize the OWNER ..the CAR should have been scratched for the following race....... there was no need to do that under caution ... for ANY DRIVER ...that way the Sponser can drop out ..............
When Tony was driving for that team , it was See YA ..or smarten up !!! and he has since left ..... sooo take it from there ..........
Well yeah, except Busch was driving for his own team.... 🙁

Yep, brand new truck built for Texas. Not only did he let his fans and sponsors down, he let the guys down that busted their butts to make sure the truck was ready for 13 laps of competition.
I liked what Harvick had to say about it in victory lane calling out Busch on his imaturity and saying he was sure there was more pain in his future.
I thought the wreck, though shocking, was not as bad as the one Carl Edwards did on Brad Keslowski coming off turn four for the checker in front of the field and wrecking many cars. Brad's dad was furious and said if NASCAR didn't do something about it he would, "I', not going to let someone kill my boy". That wreck was after Carl flipped him earlier. For me, that was worse than the truck deal, though both were bad.
However the thing that shocked me the most was Kyle's attitude on Friday night when he was told that Ron suggested he be park for the weekend. Kyle said "he has nothing to say about it and neither do I". When he was asked "what if NASCAR parks you"? He said something like "if they park me they park me", almost as if to challenge them, or it's not big deal.
To me, that was the killer for KB. He basically told his fans, his owner and sponsors that it really didn't matter to him that much. That was the moment that shocked me more than his retaliation the track.
He should have been very apologetic, sincere, told his fans and sponsors and crew that he was very sorry and wished he had not done what he did. Instead he justified it, and worse wasn't too concerned about the consequesnces.
Not that I'm advocating a hook maneuver in any situation (we all saw what it did to Darrell at our own track), but I will play devil's advocate and say that Carl and Brad were racing for the WIN, and it was the very last lap--in Turn 2 of that lap, Brad had knocked Carl out of the way for the win, and Carl was retaliating. It still sucked and yeah, it ruined potentially great finishes for lots of drivers. But because, again, it was in SOME WAY an eye for an eye, and it was hard racing on a short track for the WIN on the last lap.... It sucked, but I won't put it in the same category as what Kyle did.
Funny though, what Carl did at Gateway on the last lap, a Cup driver with a Cup team and no good reason to race in the series, ruined the nights of half a dozen up-and-coming, barely scraping by, poorly funded teams. Sounds familiar... But hey, the series needs talent right... :-
