Kyle Busch walks away from a frustrating night at Bristol


   After taking the lead early in Saturday night's Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, Kyle Busch picked up a pit road speeding penalty on Lap 63 of 500 and his night went downhill after that.

   He got caught up in a wreck on Lap 125 and repeatedly claimed there was so much damage to the car, he couldn’t drive it. 

   Late in the race, Busch again complained over his team radio, “I need a whole new right-front suspension” and said he was about to hit the wall. 

   His crew chief, Dave Rogers, replied over the radio: “Park it behind the truck and take your whiny little ass to the bus.” 

   Busch ended up parking his No. 18 Toyota on pit road near Turn 2 and left the infield while his crew arrived shortly thereafter and pushed the car to the hauler. Before leaving the track, Busch and Rogers met at the team's hauler.

   Team owner Joe Gibbs called the situation a “series of bad circumstances.” “Something like that happens (and) you can get frustrated,” he said.

  1. When the hell will Joe Gibbs get real and get rid of that Whiny little SOB of a so called NASCAR driver and when will NASCAR do something with Mr Whiny ass. The fans do not want him.

    2. Does this little sh*& have a "fire me if I'm an azzhole" clause in that new contract? Joe should have put on in. He (Busch) is a loser - not a winner. Let's go back in history and see how much he did as a driver. Parked - banned from NASCAR would be better. I don't buy M&Ms because of his driving the car. Seriously.
