Kyle Busch in a Nitro Funny Car ?


Current Drag Racing

I had a lot of laughs about this situation, but the only thing about this incident that sort of concerns me deep down is that some day, some hot-headed punk (I won't mention who I'm thinking about) might have been impressed enough by what Busch did, to..."lose his cool"...in a nitro funny car...or any kind of drag race vehicle...and decide to imitate what that guy did.

Stupidity spreads across the complete spectrum of humanity, and race car drivers, pro athletes, businessmen, rock stars, politicians, doctors, ex-lovers, and next-door neighbors are not excluded from irrational behavior while they're expected to act properly...it's been proven that some of the least likely are susceptible to having moments of loss of reason.

I just hope that boneheaded stunts like this don't become contagious and proliferate. Good luck and safe racing to all. JB

Actions Detrimental to Stock Car Racing


General

Great read, Jeff. I read your earlier article as well. Awesome comments! I joined Stock Car Racers Reunion so that I could learn from all of your knowledge and experience. Stock Car Racing has always fascinated me and I have the greatest respect for the people who are involved in the sport. Having grown up in a drag racing environment, I have found from coming here that the Stock Car Racing side of American Motorsports has a multitude of issues and serious controversy, and every one of them I've learned about is totally valid. On our side of the park (drag racing), we have disparity and discontent in dealing with all of the sanctioning bodies, similar but not identical to what y'all have with NASCAR. What I admire is that nobody here has any reservations at all about clearly voicing their concerns and making their point. This latest incident has me baffled that they can get away with doing what they do, but like I say, we have seen some of this kind of BS. If we don't like it, there's the exit. Thanks for having a forum where the truth can be told without fear of reprisal! Best to all, JB
