....and for those who still haven't yet been to the Kurt Busch website - http://www.kurtbusch.com/ - make sure to watch his video and see if you can make it past the first 30 seconds. lol. This does nothing to help him at all - just reinforces what a jerk he is.

Although Kyle is very volatile on the track, I kind of like him. I hope he does better with his temper in 2012, for his sake.

I don't think I made it to the 30 sec mark! His temper will blow up again in 2012 running in the back. It should be fun to watch.

Probably a good thing Robby's the boss.As he has colorful dialog also.Passions of racing,something most in the world will never know.

PASSION = TALENT........because it's RG you give him a pass MIKE. I see no difference between Kyle and RG both want to win at any cost second is not an option. You listen to RG in his post interview for the 1000 you can here the frustration in his voice.

RG is lucky to have some backing to continue his passion. Maybe Kurt will have to go down this road as well.

I fighured on this site we would not have the haters and just voice our opinion's in a constructive way......but I see some still need to grow up.

The difference between RG and KB ...

Robby was a hothead when he was in his 20s, and he still can be. I think he had some growing-up to do, and he did it. Robby is now a great guy to talk to, and he treats everyone with respect and dignity. If you have never met RG, he is the most accessible guy in the garage.

RG quit driving for other people by his own choice, not because he burned every bridge in the garage.

Kurt Busch, on the other hand, has already been down this road once, and he evidently learned absolutely nothing. He's 33 and acts like a 16-year-old. The Busch Brothers -- and Tony Stewart too, for that matter -- treat everyone they encounter like shit, unless they are handing them a check.

There is no comparing the Robby Gordon I first met in 2001 when he was 32 years old to the 33-year-old Kurt Busch, so I don't think even maturity can be used as an excuse.

Bottom line: Kurt Busch is an asshole. Robby Gordon is not. You can be a mean, competitive, independent and stubborn SOB on the track without being a jackass off it. Busch will either learn this lesson, start his own S&P team or start bagging groceries. It's pretty simple.

@ Matt.............I must say RG is very approachable, here is just a few moments that I have experienced.

At Phoenix RG parked his rig above the back strech going into turn 3. We showed up for the weekend of racing on Wed. Robby would show up with his prerun buggy and drive around the track inside and out. We could walk right up to the rig and Robby was there answering questions and was a regular guy. This happened many years, he treated me just like I was one of his guys. The last encounter was this last summer when he raced at Glenn Helen. He was very asscessable and handed out SPEED to anyone who wanted one. Got some one on one trying to get some intell on DAKAR but wouldn't commit to anything.

I am going to restate my earlier post on why the Busch boys act the way they do.......my guess is it is a LEARNED trate. I don't know Robby's dad personally but I am guessing anyone who know's Bob will say Robby got his demeanor form his dad.

Just an old guy's opinion...........

The Busch bro's parents didn't believe the old adage 'spare the switch spoil the child' ?
