The NASCAR Thread

[Ponch ®]

Driscoll wanted to destroy his career and she may have done just that, but only time will tell.  God knows Kurt's been working towards that end with no help from anyone.  In the mean time the question remains...what team would want someone with his past behavior issues?  He's already driving for a second tier team, and no first tier team will touch him....plus he's already been through three of those.  And, with Chevy stating that they want nothing to do with him, it leaves him with only Ford or Toyota teams as his hope for a ride. 
The ways are going for him this year...I don't see his anger management issues going away soon...

I do hope he can overcome all the issues and return to racing, but he has a long road ahead of him and that road has a lot of potholes in it.......

Second tier? That team (SHR) just won the Championship last season and 3 years before that as well.

You do make a good point...maybe this latest thing wouldn't have f-ed his career so bad (and NASCAR/Sponsors would have taken it easier on him) were it not for his extensive history of anger/behavior issues. In other words, he did it to himself.

Perhaps, she wants it to look that way even if it's not true.


On another note, I think he's still employed by SHR, but just not recognized by Chevy.  He could still end up back in the 41 after his suspension is lifted.

Kurt still suspended:  http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nbc-yahoo-sports/nascar-issues-statement-on-kurt-busch-224517521-nascar.html

Looks like Chevy will back Kurt after NASCAR reinstates him. They are just covering there ass.

Chevrolet Vice President of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports Jim Campbell said the company has not reinstated its personal services agreement with Busch. "Our relationship with Kurt Busch remains unchanged," Campbell said in a statement. "He remains suspended, and we will continue to monitor all aspects of this situation."

Pretty good finish in the Infinity series

It was so exciting, I slept through most of it. I don't like that track at all. California is just as boring 

[JB400]

I was lucky enough to just catch the last 30 laps.

It is nice to see the #48 & #24 having a awesome race today

Keselowski crew chief placed on probation for rest of season

Paul Wolfe on probation for the rest of the 2015 season after NASCAR caught Team Penske pulling out the fenders on Brad Keselowski's car before qualifying at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Keselowski's car was pulled from the qualifying grid right before Friday's session began and sent back to inspection because NASCAR said the fenders by the wheel wells had been flared. It was a point of contention last season as NASCAR did not have a specific rule banning the flared sideskirts.

I guess NASCAR felt that pulling out the fender made the car look to much like a production car.....

[keith88]

For all you Keselowski fans out there... Cheater!

[MoparCharger500]

I expect another a** kicking from Harvick this w/e!!!!

[Ponch ®]

well that was quick (if true)....

Kurt Busch has been reinstated by NASCAR

[MoparCharger500]

I'd wait till Nascar themselves says something or Jayski reports it.

EDIT: Fox Sports is now saying it along with Bleacher Report. KURT BUSCH IS BACK!!!!!

[Ponch ®]

I'd wait till Nascar themselves says something or Jayski reports it.

hence my "if true" disclaimer 

[MoparCharger500]

Per Jayski:

The following is from Stewart-Haas Racing executive vice president Joe Custer regarding NASCAR's reinstatement of driver Kurt Busch.
"We appreciate the steps Kurt Busch has made while following NASCAR's process for reinstatement. He has taken this path seriously, which allowed him to return to our race team. With his reinstatement and the conclusion by the Delaware Attorney General to not file charges, our focus is on the future."(SHR / TrueSpeed Communications), Stewart-Hass says Busch will return to the #41 this weekend at Phoenix.(3-11-2015)

Hell yea!!!!! This just made my week.

[wingcar]

Now the question becomes.....should he win a race this year will NASCAR allow him into the "Chase" since he missed several races....(I would think that they should, all things considered)

[JB400]

Glad to hear Kurt is back

Time to quit fooling around with the crazy ex girlfriend, and win some races.
