It doesn't bother you just a little that they are trying to sell a pile of manure? No body is buying that. Not when competitive rides in NASCAR are so hard to come by.

My intelligence is a bit insulted, but I don't blame NASCAR. I don't think they had any hand in it. I think Penske was forced to fire him by the sponsors and was willing to throw him a bone and allowed him to resign.

At this point anybody might be better than Busch. Looks like he may stay out a year and Drag Race. He does have past champs provisional so he can use that if anything pops up or he needs a couple bucks.

Trouble is they all had a part in it, Nascar, Penske and the Sponsor's, no one in the whole bunch didn't have the balls to say "He dude! You are out of here!!"

He didn't do enough for NASCAR to suspend him. If there isn't a guy there with a cell phone camera, Kurt is still driving for Penske today.

I was hoping he would've got it. He deserves it. I lost alot respect for micheal after what he did to him.

I agree Ruetimann would be a good fit and an easy guy to team up with brad.

Agree , but sponsors will say David is too old ! Sponsors rule..(unfortunately)..

**newelly** · 12-05-2011, 06:34 PM

i guess he should have cropped his tongue while he was gettin his ears done.....

**lazyifoto** · 12-07-2011, 03:40 PM

I know it's different at the NASCAR /INDY levels but anytime you work for Penske ,you work for a bunch of stuffed shirt pr!cks.....
That being said Kurt is a d!ckhead.

I just don't understand the sugar-coating. Its obvious what happened. Nascar not being a part of the decision is all the more reason to report it like it is. They sure didn't sugar-coat any of the Mayfield articles and they were the ones that handed down the suspension. Just sayin..................we are all big boys and girls, we can handle the truth. lol

I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did at Penske. The same organization that once employed a man among men, Mark Donahue.

**racin6mod** · 12-10-2011, 04:13 PM

I disagree with the thought that the sponsors forced them to fire kurt.they asked for kurt tobe ther driver(they knew what they were getting) and his attenditude and his manner of speaking on the radio was not new it just got a little worse. but he11 after having a trany blow(not hear of in todays cars)way would the team even let jerry punch even close to the car he11 I would have chewed his a$$ also I'll bet the first words out of his mouth was how do you fell.

they have to handle tony with kid cloves, he's been known to punch officals so way not all driver don't run to the car after a wreck or a parts failure and cry when the driver is mad as he11!!!!
