NASCAR 2011 season

oh no 3 weeks and some chump change that isn't shit to him

true, but he is in position to miss the Top 10 in points and not go to the banquet in Las Vegas. M&M's said yesterday that they we're dissapointed in Kyle Busch's actions and that it didn't reflect the companies views. They also said that they have expressed their concern to Joe Gibbs Racing directly.

Also here is some Jeremy Mayfield news. Police conducted a raid at his house and found 6 bags of meth, 100,000 dollars worth of stolen items, and 69 guns.

He'll do some time (hopefully).

Kyle Busch out of ride for rest of 2011? UPDATE: on the website, tireball.com is reporting.....the rumors and if they are true, like they appear to be, then Kyle Busch is out of a ride until Daytona and now without sponsorship. Busch was parked this [last] week at Texas due to actions in the Camping World Truck Series when he wrecked fellow competitor Ron Hornaday under caution.(tireball.com).
AND in Twitter, SceneDaily's Bob Pockrass reports in a few Tweets:
NASCAR has given Kyle the OK to race. It's in the hands of the sponsor and the team.
On Kyle Busch: JGR still hasn't confirmed if he'll race Cup at PIR. I lean toward he'll race but wouldn't be surprised either way.
For those asking about Kyle and PIR, I think more likely he races than not, but JGR has yet to confirm that he will race.
AND II the weekly race preview for JGR/Kyle Busch has not been released as of yet when it usually comes out on Tuesday.
UPDATE: The fallout from #18-Kyle Busch's road rage at Texas continued Thursday when one of his sponsors asked for him to be removed from the season-ending Nationwide Series race. Multiple people familiar with Busch's schedule told the AP that Z-Line Designs asked this week that Denny Hamlin replace Busch in next weekend's Nationwide race at Homestead. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because Busch's future was still being discussed Thursday with sponsors and Joe Gibbs Racing. Among the options being considered is Aric Almirola replacing Busch in the final two Sprint Cup Series races of the season, as primary sponsor M&M's decides how it wants to proceed with Busch. Although NASCAR has cleared Busch to race this weekend at Phoenix, JGR officials have been silent on his status in Sunday's Cup race.(more at the Associated Press website)

this just came on jayski.com like 10 mins ago

Aric Almirola told ESPN.com on Thursday he has been contacted by Joe Gibbs Racing about possibly replacing Kyle Busch in the final two Sprint Cup races and is awaiting final word from the organization. ESPN's Marty Smith reported on SportsCenter and NASCARNow that Busch, according to sources, will be in the #18 Cup car this weekend at Phoenix and next weekend at Homestead. Multiple sources said the car likely will be sponsored by Interstate Batteries instead of M&Ms, which was scheduled to be on the car. Mars Incorporated, which manufacturers M&Ms, stated its displeasure with Busch over his intentionally wrecking Ron Hornaday in last Friday's Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. But according to sources the sponsor still had reservations about having its name on the Cup car with Busch for the last two races, prompting the call to Almirola. Almirola said JGR president J.D. Gibbs contacted him on Wednesday to see if he would be available. Almirola, who drives a Chevrolet for JR Motorsports in the Nationwide Series, said JRM has given him permission to drive for the Toyota team. "Your guess is as good as mine,'' Almirola told ESPN.com before Nationwide practice at PIR as to what will happen. "I know they're working through a lot of things. I just told them I was available if they needed me.''

He didn't get fired. His contract wasn't renewed and he was already in talks with JGR. Remember, Rick Hendrick himself said he new he made a mistake in not signing him again and keeping Casey Mears after signing Dale.

from jayski.com

Kyle Busch will be allowed to race in the final two Sprint Cup Series events but without main sponsor M&M's. Busch will drive Sunday at Phoenix and in next weekend's season finale at Homestead with Interstate Batteries as his sponsor instead, a person familiar with Joe Gibbs Racing's plans told the AP on Thursday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because discussions about Busch's future are ongoing. Although M&M's is Busch's primary sponsor, Interstate Batteries is heavily involved with the team. M&M's did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Nice to see Kahne win yesterday in what has been a bad year for Red Bull Racing. The Championship could very well be winner takes all. I think if the championship ends with a tie then it will go to Stewart cause he has more wins.


I have an idea if it does come to a tie. I think the drivers who are tied should get a 10 lap shootout to wion the championship. They get 10 mins to make adjustments to their cars after the race. They get new tires and then get 10 laps to decided the winner. I would want to watch that.
