Still going on about it. Busch is lettin Nascar handle it. Tuned inta the Kansas race an it's all they can talk about. KB looks like a stiff wind would blow 'im away, Nothin more than a school yard deal, they need ta let it go.

Arcey · June 05, 2011, 12:05:38 PM

Kinda liked Harvick. The steerin' wheel on 'n off thing then waitin' for a crew member to show at Darlington before he gets out ta put a smackin' on Busch, lost a lot respect for 'im. Damn, it's Busch, out of the car he couldn't be that tough ta take down.

Hate to lose respect for Childress. I remember him when he drove the three himself. 'Course, I don't understand why someone pays to be led to an elephant so he can kill it for a trophy either. But, that's him.

Leo Tanner · June 05, 2011, 12:17:29 PM

Still got my respect for J. J. Say what ya will but it seems if he don't have somethin nice ta say he don't say it at all. Seems he did some whinin awhile back an got over it.

LOL...ROF...LOL....You WIN.. Here's Your Sign!.... Take a shot at Childress Vineyards too... I'm sure ya got some BS opine of how he stole the land from somebody!

I see a kinship here with the Toad.... drop "neapolitan landmines" in some one's front yard then cry "what did I do?" when ya get your eye blackened over it..... $:-\$

Shrink's call it: Passive Aggressive...

Brad Kazolowski(SP) driving the Miller lite Dodge owned by Roger Penske.

I watched em build that track in 2000. There wern't nothin around there back then.

Texas Lawdog · June 06, 2011, 09:44:52 AM

I think they built TMS in about 96 and the first race was in 97. This weekend will be the IRL and the Trucks. It usually rains when the have races here. I sorta hope that it does rain, we could sure use ir.

Arcey · June 06, 2011, 01:00:18 PM

Damn. It did come out Monday. Musta been more serious than I thought.

$150,000.00 fine, probation thru Dec. 31st. The ole Actions Detrimental thing. Could be just me but that seems to be a bit much.

Leo Tanner · June 06, 2011, 01:11:40 PM

Ouch. I wouldn't zactly call that fair.

Texas Lawdog · June 06, 2011, 06:39:27 PM

The fine was too much and KB needed to be taken down a few notches. Richard handled it "old school"!

Arcey · June 06, 2011, 07:26:15 PM

Old school don't always werk tho.....

Bud Moore tells the tale of him goin' after Turner with a tire iron after Turner had tore up one of Moore's cars. Sez he found Pops sittin' on a stack of tires 'n as he walked up, Pops had a revolver.

'What ya gonna do with that iron, Bud?'

Moore said he smiled. 'Well, Curtis. Ya see, I been carryin' this thing around all day 'n I'm lookin' for a nice place to put it down.' With that Moore put it down 'n backed away.

Moore said he was so mad he'd ah beat Turner half ta death if he hadn't had the gun.

Texas Lawdog · June 07, 2011, 04:15:59 AM

I had not realized that Bud was a decorated WW2 Army vet. He received 5 Purple Hearts in addition to his other decorations. He was in D-Day as well.

Texas Lawdog · June 11, 2011, 01:08:03 PM

They wound up with a butch of tore up Trucks last night. Poor Ol Dillion seemed to be in the wrong place at the right time. The end of the race ended in controversy, between Sauter and Hornaday. A tough call to make, I'm glad that I'm not the one to make that decision.

Arcey · June 11, 2011, 06:21:30 PM

Sauter seemed to be a l'il pissed.......

Got a kick outta Bodine. Tried ta take out the 18 'n when that didn't work he took out the 81..........

This is what happens when ya bring a tire Irion to a Gun Fight!!!

Old School is the best school.... has Honor and Respect with a simplicity..

Yes the Toad needs to be knocked a notch or two by the Field help'n him into the wall for the rest of the season ...... Uncle Joe can feel some of that pain!!

Mike Helton is a POS-PAL pick'n Winners and Losers... the Toad must be his butt-boy; 'cause, the Toad has been pull'n this crap for FAR TOO LONG!

RACE DAY!!!....

Texas Lawdog · June 12, 2011, 06:40:37 AM

A few years ago, when Jimmy Spencer was still racing, he and Kurt had an altercation on track at a race. Kurt made some remarks to the media about Jimmy's family. Jimmy went to the garage, found Kurt, and puched his lights out. He didn't have anymore trouble with Kurt.

Leo Tanner · June 12, 2011, 08:06:09 AM

You don't talk about a man's family. That rule is older than dirt.

Arcey · June 12, 2011, 08:28:41 AM

We'll leave out the part where Spencer popped Busch where Busch was still belted in the car, huh? And the part about he 'n Busch tradin' paint 'n Spencer losin' havin' anything to do with it. Spencer just waited to avenge the family name after the race. Must be.

My favorite Spencer was him gettin' his hiney whipped 'n arrested when he decided the cops weren't takin' his kid to jail when they came to serve a warrant.

Anyway.... From Mr. Excitement hisownself:

Jimmy Spencer says Childress was wrong: from a Jimmy Spencer article on SPEED - But take it from someone who has been there Childress crossed the line in punching Busch. No one should ever hit or physically confront another individual. Arguing, hurling insults or yelling at someone is okay, but you shouldn't touch them. I picked the wrong way to handle my problem with another Busch brother, Kurt, years ago, and I still regret it. I think Kurt learned something from me punching him but I learned more, and if I had the chance to do it over again, I wouldn't have hit him. I've been in several brawls in my time and nobody ever wins. Childress got off too easy. NASCAR should have come down on him harder than a $150,000 fine. They should have suspended him for three races that would get his attention. He took responsibility for what he did but never apologized because he's really not sorry. I speak from experience when I say that situations like last weekend's affect the younger generation a lot, especially the kids watching our sport. My biggest problem with what Childress did stems from the fact that he is representing major corporations with thousands of employees. Yet he let his temper get the best of him and he assaulted someone. That gave the sport the biggest black eye it has had in years. Fans and folks inside the sport may think it's funny, but these companies probably aren't happy about having a car owner representing them who assaulted someone.
And believe it or not, I think that Busch's sponsors can be proud of the way he handled himself. We're usually criticizing Busch's behavior, but I admire him for not fighting back and also for staying in the car at Darlington when Kevin Harvick came up to his car on pit road. Busch is the most exciting driver in our sport right now. Yes, he ruffles feathers, but so did the late, great Dale Earnhardt. But Earnhardt didn't outright attack other drivers. I admire Kyle for respecting Childress enough, although he got punched, to not punch back. It takes a strong person not to retaliate.
I still don't really see what Childress was so upset about. Busch wasn't out of line in bumping Coulter's truck on the cool-down lap. Rewind a few laps to when they were putting on a hell of a race for fifth place and Coulter slid up in front of Busch. If Busch hadn't lifted and let him go, both of them would have wrecked. Coulter was the one at fault there, so Busch bumped him after the race to teach him a lesson. That's just part of racing and how you teach younger drivers who are coming along. Sure, Busch did a little damage to Coulter's quarter panel, but he also did the same to his own truck.(in part from SPEED)(6-9-2011)
