Johnny,

I'll bet your parents were like mine, When, not if, but when I did or said something stupid my apologizes were not written and sent to the offended parties but were delivered in person, in public and to all parties as many times as they saw fit. I haven't seen or heard anything on this so I know no details other than what you posted, I don't have to, I was taught better. When you are held personally responsible for your words and actions you will keep you words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. My folks made sure I knew what stupid tasted like.

Keeps on, huh Mr. and Mrs. Busch?

I see the crew chief has quit.

I do think we all would be just fine with the competition being minus the ''talking foliage'', i.e., Busch brothers...

Tired of the repetitive, scripted, heartless felt apologies...Ron White says it best when he proclaims "you can't fix stupid". Definitely not material much to work with in this case.

When the Nascar show rolls into Vegas, they ought to pull the Busch boys up by the roots and leave 'em in Vegas...When you have a defective product you return it to where it came from...Leave them with the ones that reared them. If I were Tom Busch I would leave my right foot where the whole world could see it everytime KuBu turned around...The left one would already be in Ky Bu , of course!

Ahaha!

From all the things I've heard about Tom Busch, he is the responsible party. As the say, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree", especially the rotten apples.

The problem with these Busch brothers is,the issues with attitude and temper was not dealt with between the ages of 2 and 18. I am afraid it is too late now.These boys are supposed to be grown men at this point in their lives but history keeps repeating itself.How many chances are they going to get?Kurt calmed down somewhat when Jimmy Spencer issued some noggin thumpin style of conduct education ,but unfortunately,if it's in ya,it's gonna come out of ya at some point. Ignorance that is. The only thing I can say in Kurts defense is,it has to be hard when they shove a michrophone in your face in the heat of the moment,but how you react under pressure is what determines your character. They know the media is coming at them,it is part of the deal. They just need to suck it up or go find another playground. Not saying that it's fair to them ,but it's part of the deal. Maybe if he took Dr Punch to dinner and gave a heartfelt, first rate interview then I might believe his appology. Until then it's just more words written by a publicist attempting to help damage control in my opinion.
