Kyle is a very nice young man. I had the pleasure of spending some time with him in Fontana and Las Vegas this year. He is passionate, smart, courteous and is happy to answer questions. We asked him about his worst crash ever and he related in such touching way the emotions he went through and how he felt blow by blow.

I have been a Jeff Gordon fan since he came on the scene, but I find myself now rooting for Kyle every week. People hated Jeff for his domination and now I guess it’s Kyle’s turn. He speaks his mind and tell the truth. If you do not want to hear his passion and frustration, then don’t shove a mic in front of his mouth after something bad happens to him on the track. Of course anyone that has emotions would be upset.

It made me so mad and sick to my stomach to see the crowd screaming in excitement when Kyle was wrecked. I held my breath fearing he was injured really bad. I was so relieved to see him walk out, and figured he might be in shock. After hearing the radio from Tony’s car it really upset me as well. I did not hear him inquire if Kyle was ok, all he said was I did not want to win like that. Denny, Kurt, and Carl and others were concerned for Kyle. I am anxious to hear from Kyle on the incident. After Tony got him loose and he moved to the low side, did Kyle really try and block him or was he just struggling to regain control of him car? Kyle was really sawing on the wheel and going that speed on a slick track even on the straight away it would not be easy to get control.
 
Yes Kyle has matured and if he does not want to address the media until his emotions are in check, more power to him. If he does address them, everyone will dissect everything he says and call him a sore loser anyway.

As I told Coach Gibbs and JD, I think that they are the best family for Kyle to be around. Maybe someday Kyle will have the fan respect he deserves, DW finally does.
I look for Kyle to win several championships in his career, so the fans better get used to him winning. He accepts nothing more, and if I was an owner that is who I would want racing for me!

Go Kyle!

If you put yourself in his shoes, do you really think you’re going to say anything nice after getting wrecked on the final lap? It would take me 3 days to come up with something family-friendly to say.
I’m not a Kyle Busch fan per se, but I do admire the guys determination and skill. I’ll agree with Renee48 in that I think this guy will eventually win a championship. The fact that he gets upset like he does is because he doesn’t enjoy losing. To me thats the mark of a champion.

To quote my beloved: “Is he supposed to say, ‘Oh, I’m overjoyed that I wrecked, my hands needed a break, and I have no room for any more trophies anyway’?” Seriously, what would any of us say on the road? What were many of us saying in our homes, just watching? I think it’s stupid when a reporter shoves a microphone into a driver’s face right after he leaves the care center.

Tony Stewart will always be my favorite, and the way he reacted just confirmed why. However, I also like Kyle a lot. Thank you for mentioning just how wrong it was that people cheered before they saw the net come down. I found that incredibly upsetting. Like him or not, that’s a human being behind the wheel, one who’s loved by other human beings.

Kyle pulled the same move Carl Edwards pulled at Talladega when the 99 pulled out to try and block Brad Keselowski. After he stepped out of his car, he agreed to an interview and admited the wreck was his fault.

Sub out Carl for Kyle and Keselowski for Smoke about 15 weeks later. Now I was willing to give a pass to Kyle if it meant cooler heads would prevail and he’d come to his senses.

Instead, he comes out 6 days later and feels the wreck was Tony’s fault? What kind of parallel universe is this prick living in?

No one is doubting his ability to drive a race car. And he certainly has the talent to win a championship. But his crybaby attitude that’s a huge turnoff to the rest of us “haters”. And it’s also a reason why I don’t expect him to win a championship anytime soon.

If you love him or hate him, you still have to admit; NASCAR cant afford Kyle to change

did anyone actually read the transcript or watched the whole interview? I know I didn’t and I know how well things can be said and then manipulated by whoever for their own purposes (ie. create hits, sell newspapers, etc.). Until I actually see or read the whole interview I’m not passing judgement on what Kyle may or may not have said and in which context it was said in. I know from personal experience about things being said and then manipulated by someone else just so they could validate their own warped sense of reality so until I see, hear, or read the actual interview I’m not saying anything.
