Kurt Busch made another bonehead move during the Dover race on Monday. After taking out Tony Stewart, he decided it would be a good idea to come down pit road and hit Stewarts car while the crew was making repairs. In doing so, he almost took out one of Stewarts crew members, Jason Lee (no connection to Earl). Lee had to jump out of the way, or he would have been hit by the blue deuce.NASCAR parked Kurt for the rest of the day and called him to the NASCAR trailer to discuss his actions. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation.
There is no excuse for drivers taking out thier frustration on pit road. It puts crew members in danger. A driver has a 3500 pounds of steel around them, a crew member has a helmet and a fire suit. NASCAR needs to step up and park Busch for a couple of races. Penalties are usually issued on Tuesday or Wednesday, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.
When will the Busch brothers learn. They are probably the most hated 2 drivers by the fans and they keep pulling stupid moves on the track. A couple of weeks ago, Kurt and and his younger brother Kyle took each other out during the Nextel All Star Challenge. They were racing for a Million Dollars, but still. Mr. and Mrs. Busch have got to be proud of thier sons.
