Question

Answer 1

i think that awsome! Thats one heck a a driver who thinks of more than just himself!

Answer 2

You don't have to prove how good a driver and personality Kyle Busch is. He plays the villian and I think he likes it. It's either you love him or hate him. I think he is the next Intimidator and anyone hating on him is just missing out. Very commendable what he did. I remember that.

Answer 3

Kyle is a class act, only the hard core June Bug fans hate him!

Answer 4

They are class acts when they do that and I feel like people who make that kind of money have a responsibility to give back.  Those people who begrudge Tony Stewart think about this He is one of the biggest givers in Nascar.  When Victory Junction got  started he was the first driver to write a check for one million dollars to help the camp get started and I believe Jimmy Johnson supported the wildfire efforts in California last year.  Most drivers have foundations  I knew at 23 years old Kyle has a  foundation but I am not sure about Jr.

Answer 5

If thats accurate then I say "Class Act"

Answer 6

I think that is a real champ.

Answer 7

Kyle is very involved in charities here in Vegas.  

I especially liked the "Cult of Earnhardt"

Great article.  Thanks.

Answer 8

you are right tom p its the dale jr series of racing

Answer 9

Yes one good dead all year long, does not make him a class act, have you ever been in the pits after a race and the kids wants autographs, and he turns his back and walks off on the kids, yes he is a real class act alright....rude and full of himself.

it was a nice jester he did for the hurricane victims, but still does not make him a class act.....

and die hard Jr fans, you bet, Kyle intentionally hit Jr and all could see it clearly, we were there, and there was no accident to it.

if Kyle would change his attitude, he could be liked as much as Jr or any other driver, but he and Kurt both are rude......

Answer 10

And he has done this how many times?????

ONCE!

When he starts doing it on a regular basis, and KEEPS HIS TRAP SHUT. Maybe, maybe, maybe people will start respecting him.

Until then he has to start realizing that this is not the Kyle Busch Series of Racing.

Answer 11

That was a great article, thanks for posting the link..

The kid has a heart!

Answer 12

Shrub's a pretty cool guy !! Just wish Jr. could of wrecked him 1st !!   Its not like he took Jr. out of the chase or anything !

THATS A LOCK !!  The win will come !! Hopefully for all his fans?.... It'll come, IN-THE-CHASE !!!

Answer 13

He would be a top notch individual to me with lots of class!

Answer 14

That is wonderful!

Answer 15

So basically the article is saying that he acts like a d**k because he has always been treated so badly, and not that he gets treated like a d**k because he acts so badly. I ALMOST felt sorry for him......ALMOST.

I have always said if somebody would just duct tape the kid's mouth shut, he would have more fans.

Answer 16

That was a great read. Some valid points that even the most hardcore Jr fan cant ignore.  Nah they still will.

Answer 17

i think that driver would be classy and by all means i would shake his hand even if i was not his fan. wish there was more good people out there like those drivers.... we need more people with class

Answer 18

whoever wrote that article has a hair up their "chocolate starfish"

Answer 19

That is a very wonderful cause.  You know that is why I love NASCAR because they are very charity oriented.  With Make a Wish to Victory Junction to the NASCAR Foundation.  Hats off to all the drivers who support charity and Kyle Petty for building Victory Junction.

Answer 20

I agree Kyle is a class act. And another answer brought up a good point-what charity does earnhardt promote? Isn't he just a frat boy?

Answer 21

Wow.  What a guy.  He's a multimillionaire who gave up $213,000.00.  How can he afford it?  Oh yeah, very nice tax write-off for him.

That was one of the most one-sided articles I've ever read.  The author must be the president of the Kyle Busch Fan Club.  I've heard that their meetings are held in the first stall in the bathroom of Club Crybaby.

Answer 22

I've said it before and I'll say it again. His actions off the track turn people off as much or more than his driving style. He is an arrogant little punk. He shows his in maturity by throwing cheap shots in the media at every opportunity, yet when something happens to him in a race he's nowhere to be found, or has "NO COMMENT"!

Let's not forget the Steven Wallace incident.

Sure, donating his winnings for a race was a great PR move, too bad he overshadows it every time a mic is put in his face.

Answer 23

Wow, what a one-sided article.

Here's a link for you.
