Kyle Busch - What's your opinion

Love 'em or hate him, what position would you have taken towards Kyle with regards to his fiasco in the truck race? While, I found it entertaining but very unsportsmanlike, reckless and endangering a fellow driver - I think the penalty is very light when considering Robby got the same penalty for what was pretty much a minor infraction when Nascar raped him of a 1st place finish in Montreal a few years ago.

I believe Joe Gibbs is backing Kyle and would be surprised to see Mars come down with anything further especially after the results turned in by the M&M's car today. It would be very interesting to see what would fall into place and where Kyle would end up next year if he was dismissed by JGR on behalf of Mars/M&M's.

I hate Nazi Nascar Maphia family that continues to tell the racers that have passion and bring emotion to their craft "We don't need you".

So, regardless of right or wrong with Kyles actions and I believer further penalty will be handed down this week by Nascar (probation for 2012) I just want to say - F.U. NASCAR!

@Mike.....Figuratively, Gibbs stood next to him as well. "We think Kyle to be a special person and a special athlete," the car owner said. "WE'RE COMMITTED"

Like I said in my earlier post Mike........Joe Gibbs along with a few other coaches in the sports arena have a special gift and can take an athlete and get the most out of them. When you interview top athletes at the end of their career most will say a coach or dad/mom had a major impact in there lives.......God has given Joe Gibbs this gift.

UPDATE 1:
Kyle Busch will compete in the final two Sprint Cup races but without primary sponsor M&Ms as the sponsor of his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. Sources said Busch will be sponsored by Interstate Batteries in Sunday's race at Phoenix International Raceway and next weekend's finale at Miami-Homestead Speedway. The decision ended several days of speculation that Busch would be parked for the final two races or possibly lose his job with Mars Incorporated, M&M's parent company, displeased with his behavior and threatening to pull out. Officials at Mars Inc. did not immediately respond to emails inquiring about the company's relationship with Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing past this season.(ESPN)(11-10-2011)

UPDATE 2:
Statement from M&Ms: Mars, Incorporated announced that they will be removing Kyle Busch from driving the M&M'S car for the remaining two races of the 2011 NASCAR season as a result of the incident during last Friday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. The car will not run with the M&M'S paint scheme until 2012, at which time Kyle Busch will be the driver with the expectation that no future incident take place.
"As a proud member of the racing community, Mars and the M&M'S brand strongly support the partnership we have with Joe Gibbs Racing and are committed to NASCAR. Yet, Kyle's recent actions are unacceptable and do not reflect the values of Mars," said Debra A. Sandler, Chief Consumer Officer, Mars Chocolate North America. "While we do not condone Kyle's recent actions, we do believe that he has shown remorse and has expressed a desire to change. We believe our decision will have a positive impact on Kyle and will help him return next season ready to win."
"We strongly support Mars' decision," said Joe Gibbs, owner of Joe Gibbs Racing. "This gives us all time to work together to foster a positive change where Kyle can continue racing in a way we can all be proud of."(Mars, Inc.)(11-10-2011)

UPDATE3:
Interstate Batteries, a partner of Joe Gibbs Racing since the team's inception 20 years ago, will be featured on the #18 Toyota Camry driven by Busch for the final two races of the Sprint Cup Series season. A press conference with Joe Gibbs Racing owner Joe Gibbs and driver Kyle Busch will be held in the media center of Phoenix International Raceway on Friday at 9:30 a.m. MST to further address this situation.(Joe Gibbs Racing)(11-10-2011)

My favorite part, Kyle is on probation for effectively three weeks for something millions of people saw. More people have spotted Bigfoot in the last few months than wintnessed Robby's alledged incident that got him a more lengthy probation.

Didn't he say he would try to be a better person after the Harvick incident, the speeding incident and now this one? He must not be trying too hard, or he was a really bad before.
