Mixed reactions surround kurt busch decision

Get over the fact that your man couldn't win a championship, that was 25 years ago amid speculation.

Right, it happened so long ago, so let's just forget it happened...............that makes it alright!!

Just like your messiah getting killed at Daytona ............it happened so long ago, so we should just all forget it???

Preposterous!!!

Big difference dumba$$ if you can't see that I feel sorry for you.

I'm now wondering what the limit is as to how many races of the season a driver can miss and still be eligible for this silly "chase" BS? It's obviously more than 3 since baby stewy and busch already have tested that limit.

Is it 5? An even half dozen? 10? More? It's starting to appear that a driver can miss quite a bit of the season and still be able to win the championship. They seem to make up the rules as they go to suit whatever they believe is going to run less fans away. It's perplexing at the very least.

If a team can figure a way to miss 7 or 8 races and still be eligible to win the championship, win a couple of the races they actually run and still end up with a top 10 in the final standings what a great way to save money. Just run the high profile races like Daytona, Charlotte and Homestead and to he!! with the rest.


NASCAR has become a mere lame punch line of a very bad joke. Nothing left to laugh about. It's embarrassing to even admit to ever being a fan!

They will decide the rules one week at a time!!!

Both were instances were terrible and will never be forgotten...........especially by their fans.

Were the circumstances extremely different, yes.....by a mile.

Does anyone else agree?, it will be so nice when the weather breaks and the season gets into full swing and there will be more to talk about than Nascar "decisions" and if Kurt she's an assassin"Bush was wronged?

Your man is dead, with a questionable championship result..........

My guy is very much alive , had a very good career and knows the real deal of what happened and walks the earth with his head held high.

It's a terrible thing when a racer dies, but in the end, he is just a racer , a human a mere mortal, not the son of the Holy Ghost like you iron head zealots would have everyone believe.
And as much as you would like for there to be a number 3 sainthood, it just isn't going to happen.

Sorry bud, facts are facts.............

Put the iron shrine away for a moment and check yourself , I'm not one to be preached to , especially when it comes to the cult like Earnhardt nascar religion that you worship.

And believe me.......I'm over it!!!!........and you!
You are the only one that ever brings it up!

The reasons are immaterial. The question some would submit is how many missed races dictates that NASCAR deem a driver ineligible to win a championship. As I said above, we've determined that 3 isn't enough so is it 4? 6? 10???????If stewy had claimed another 3 weeks of sorrowful bereavement on top of the 3 he took would he still have been eligible to win a Cup championship, or if Hamlin had needed another month to be released to drive again would he still have been eligible?I understand no one here knows but it is a legitimate question. Just how many races is too many to be out of competition and still win the championship? If stewy had won the championship last year would there be an asterisk next to his name? Has NASCAR already set a number right now or will they continue to make it up as they go? The answer would be interesting.

Here is one way to find out.Telephone: (386) 253-0611 NASCAR's phone number.Never know you could get your answer.

No matter how you twist and turn things to make yourself feel good , your guy had 0 championships mine had 7 and as far as who gets granted saint hood isn't up to you or me I think someone up above will make the call on that one.

Anyone who thinks KB should not be allowed to run for the Championship has their marbles shuffled around.
