Title: NASCAR
Post by: dgman on November 05, 2011, 11:31:44 am

I know most of you don't watch NASCAR racing and that's fine. Last night at the NASCAR truck race, Kyle Bush took out Ron Hornady who was contending for the championship. This was intentional after the two made contact on lap 14. The officials threw the yellow flag. While under the yellow flag, Bush came behind Hornaday and spun him into the outside wall taking out both trucks. Hornaday was still in contention for the championship while bush was not eligible. NASCAR parked Bush for the rest of the race. Bush was suspended from racing for the rest of the weekend, which means he can't race in the Nationwide race and in the Sprint Cup race. Bush was running for the Cup championship. With three races left, Bush is no longer a contender.
Personally, I think NASCAR did the right thing, What do you guys think?

I think the penalty should be more. It would be bad enough during a race but totally unacceptable during caution. He is trying to get someone killed or badly injured. Never have liked either of the Bush brothers.  8)

I think they should suspend him the rest of the season and a fine. The speeds at texas speedway are way too fast to be doing that. I was just beginning to think Kyle had changed because he has had a good attitude all year, but the old Kyle came back last night.

Well remember this, NASCAR hands out penalties and fines on Tuesday so we will see what else happens then!

It's about time Nascar parked that little S. O. B. ! ! ! !    He has always been a thorn in my side.  They should suspend him for all next season too! ! ! ! !

I wasn't aware he was such a poor sport. I guess I'll have to pick someone else to root for.
I can understand getting heated up and going to fist city after the race if someone intentionally put you into the wall, but not this sort of thing.

Their in TX just shoot him.  The only reason needed is "he needed a killin' "
