How come nobody is mentioning what an idiot/ahole Kyle Busch is for hitting Paul Menard crewman (was it the catch-can guy?) I can't find a replay or an article about it. Was the guy okay? I was pissed about that, and that was before he ramholed through Truex on that restart. Neither incident was an accident. Most of the time, when a crew person is hit on pit row, it is by a car coming into there pits who can't slow down/ brake enough to avoid the guy. In this New Hampshire incident, Menard crew guy was standing in front of Kyle Busch's stopped car. But since he was in Kyle Busch's way (I agree he should not have been there) Kyle Busch just took off and drove right through him. That is assault with a motor vehicle.

The restart incident involved him making contact 3 times with Truex before he spun him. Nothing snuck up on Kyle there - he just didn't care about anyone else's day and had to pass as many cars as possible before the first turn.

i didn't hear about that (hitting the pit crew guy). daaamn. lucky that guy is ok.

he is an impatient little bugger, that's for sure. he did apologize after the race but it sure as heck didn't sound heartfelt to me, it sounded almost like he was being a smarta**.

i looked quick the other day and saw that at this point in the season, tony has already made over $3 million. that makes me cringe. and that's just money he's won in races, that doesn't include the sponsor money he's making.

i REALLY need to get on that.
