NASCAR Blog: Z-Line & Candy Go, Old Friend brings in Recharging Power

Hey folks I waited pretty late in the week to write this blog because I was waiting for the Kyle Busch Drama Bus to stop so I could get off. It looks like it's going to keep chugging along till the end of the year with more fuel being added to the fire daily but Talking Heads, the Media and even Sponsors. What do I think about what he did and what is all happening and why it's getting so blown up. MONEY! Everyone talking about this stands to keep making money on Kyle Busch because he is so riveting and polarizing and gets media coverage and like it's been said "Even Bad Press is Good Press if they spell yer name right".  Am I talking about the last 2 races in the Chase and Tony Stewart and Cousin Carl or am I like all the media have you reading about Kyle Busch?

So what really do we have here and what is the right thing to do? I like anyone in NASCAR have to say that this is NASCAR's Game and Sets of Rules and Rulings and I will go along with whatever they rule on in their sport. So setting Kyle out the rest of the Truck Race after crashing Hornaday on a Caution was right but ONLY because it was under caution. Had Kyle waited until under Green Flag Racing and wrecked him into the Wall I would have said that was "boys have at it racing". It was because it was under Caution it got the biggest foul and well maybe Kyle flipping the Race Officials the Bird last year at Texas too but I digress. I think NASCAR was also right to sit him out the rest of the weekend and heck toss in that $50,000 fine and I'm ok with that too.

I have a problem with the people, race fans and sponsors that want to Tar & Feather the guy because they don't "LIKE" him. Let me tell you in competition I don't care one way or another if you like me I only care about winning and I believe Kyle is the same way. Is he easy to hate? Yup! I'd say Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick are the two Drivers most easily to hate. Why? Winners have attitudes and egos and they need those to win but it's a thin line to cross over and when Busch goes he goes with both feet. I will also say that JGR has done a pretty good job of taming the wild antics of Busch and they have brought him a long way but as we see more is still needed.

I'm glad to see JGR stand by it's Driver and Team Family member at this time when Z-Line and M&Ms are both bailing on Busch. He made both of those companies very much in the spotlight every time they were on his car and shame on them for bailing on him now. Both leaches will be back on him next year to suck him for everything he is worth so in their eyes they are still supporting him while protecting their images. Thank you Interstate Battery for Manning up for your long time friends at JGR to Sponsor the #18 the last two races of the year. Does it still hurt JGR to be missing a Primary Sponsor like an M&Ms? I asked my Secret Unnamed/Anonymous Inside NASCAR Source how much it cost to Sponsor a NASCAR Sprint Cup car and got this answer... "A lot bud... A lot:)". So yes JGR and Kyle Busch are being punished for the actions he took on the Track but what will be the effect? I predict Kyle will be the same hard racing Driver and even more determined then ever and hopefully more in control of his emotions and would not bet against him being the 2012 Sprint Cup Champion.

You read it here first folks.
peace
