Why was no one on here upset with what Ky. Busch said?

Question

after the truck race he said his truck was c**p. Why did no one point this out on answers? They usually do when he does something they do not like.

Answer 1

what's new? he's the biggest whiner and crybaby in NASCAR, we all know this already. is anyone really suprised that he acted like a 4 year old on national TV again?

to the moron below me: hows about blow me pizza face, or whatever you're calling yourself today. do you mean joey laganOs 1st fan? no one here has ever heard of joey logan, idiot.

Answer 2

I think and hope the bashers have gone to bed for tonight. I heard what he said, I laughed then moved on. It doesn't dominate my life like some people.

Answer 3

He always says things like that. Some people like that about him, others don't. It's something he does often. It's been discussed enough in this section of Y!A. That's probably why no one brought it up until now.

Answer 4

Look...this is nothing new.  It's not his fault if he doesn't win...but he did it all if he does.  Get use to this.  Because it's not gonna stop anytime soon.

Answer 5

I just brushed it off because if he wants to say his truck sucked, he can. I don't like him that much, but I won't begrudge him the right to criticize his truck.

Answer 6

Well, maybe his truck WAS c**p. How are we to know, we weren't driving it. That's pretty mellow, and nothing to get excited about. He has said much worse.

Answer 7

Well, he say's that alot. I don't think he really means it, unless it really IS running bad, like when he was losing battery power a couple weeks ago. People are just getting used to hearing it from him, I guess.  

Even we Jr. fan's ;)

Answer 8

many good answers.  for him, the truck tonight was c**p.  so what.  the COT "sucked" in his words, and he won the first race in it.  and he's said it more than once.  that he didn't get a chance to practice or qualify in it, i'll bet it was "c**p" from his point of view.  but you got to give it to him, once again he reached in and pulled a diamond out of that c**p. it was no different than carl edwards having to "force a smile" after finishing second at dover.  these are competitors - they weren't knocking each other.

what i liked more was the difference between pre and post race interviews - it showed the passion that drivers get during the race.  before the race, he wasn't so sure they could pull off a win, but was here to help out billy balew motorsports in their quest for an owner's championship. he said "we should be able to come up through the field and maybe challenge for a win, if not, hopefully we can get a top five." so you'd think a top five finish would be "acceptable."  but you knew it wouldn't be.  by the end of the race, it wasn't acceptable.  that's called "fire in the belly..."  he, edwards, junior, and many others may say they'd be happy to finish in the top five or so given how "bad" their car has been in practice, but what they mean is they want to be "the top one out of those five."

ps. good job ron, the best team won!!!

pps. dale h - i don't think that would be bashing at all.  i worry about that all the time too.  i'd take it personally if i was a crew member. he, steve addington, and others have been asked about this. bottom line, they just say he's a perfectionist, take his suggestions, and tune out the rest - especially if his "c**p" or "junk" car is finishing in the top three all the time.

Answer 9

So I would be considered a basher if I said he shouldn't say that if he wants his teams to be behind him, and talking like that may come back to bite him?

Answer 10

Kyle was showing his emotions. I thought people wanted that. know it all is just upset because her? driver never wins and so she must resort to making fun of other peoples.

know it all, isn't it time you change your name to I don't know anything? If Kyle is the biggest crybaby in NASCAR, does that make you the biggest crybaby fan?

Answer 11

it goes back to the old saying "Actions speak louder than words". You can talk all you want, but your track record speaks volumes. Take Tony Stewart (Mr.Sarcasm) for instance. It's not cool to quote a driver immediately after a race. It's intense, but after a driver has time to cool down and reflect, you'll get a whole different response.

Answer 12

I just saw his post race interview and what he was referring to was the way the truck was set up to begin with.  A guy named Mark practiced and qualified the truck since Kyle was in Pocono and the team set it up according to what Mark thought the truck needed.  Kyle said "it wasn't for me".  He did give his team credit for working on the truck as the race went on and got it a lot better, but what Mark likes and what Kyle likes in a truck must be totally different.  No big deal.  Some people will bash Kyle no matter what he does.

Answer 13

Hey there, my boy gets enough c**p without you trying to instigate more of it!

This is the first race in I don't know how long that it hasn't been a Busch Bashing free for all, let me enjoy it, please!

*Oh yeah, Good Job Ron!*

Answer 14

amen to both my fellow Busch fans above

Answer 15

Because it did not deserve a response, why not let the man run his races, say his peace and walk away,

I am not a Kyle fan as you all know, but freedom of speech is the key word here...so move on and let him be.

Go #88 Jr Forever

everyone should be able to say what they mean, without being judged...even Kyle

Answer 16

getting used to it

Answer 17

I would hate to be on his crew or work at the shops...all he ever does is complain about his ride.  He has got to these guys hear about all his complaints.   Was it DW or Larry Mac that blasted him for boo hooing on the radio during the race?

Answer 18

The truck was not one of the better trucks in the race tonight.  That translates to Kyle's adjective, c**p.  He uses different words to describe his cars than most would but he is real & says what is on his mind.  I like that about him though I don't like his word selections sometimes.

Nobody else could have driven that truck to a 2nd place finish other than Kyle Busch, especially having to start from dead last.

Answer 19

Kyle has never been shy about saying his machines are c**p, why the hullabaloo??? Let the boy speak!

Answer 20

he says every car he drives is c**p
