Kurt Busch: If I Only Had A Brain

NASCAR driver and former Las Vegan Kurt Busch was fired by Penske Racing this past week because of his stupid behavior during the last race of the season at Homestead. He gave the motorcade of Michell Obama the finger when they parked by his garage (justified) and cussing and yelling at Dr. Jerry Punch, an announcer icon within racing (totally unjustified). He also has ripped his crew, his crew chief and his racing team throughout the season and it all came back and bit him in the ass.
From ESPN: Kurt Busch and Penske Racing have agreed to a mutual split, the team said Monday.
The 2004 Sprint Cup champion lost favor with Penske Racing and primary sponsor Shell Pennzoil during a season in which he had multiple behavioral run-ins on and off the track....
Busch's future with Penske came to a head in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Entering the garage after his transmission failed early, Busch made an obscene gesture that happened to be in the direction of first lady Michelle Obama's motorcade.
He then had a profanity-laced tirade directed at ESPN reporter Dr. Jerry Punch and his camera crew that went viral on YouTube.
NASCAR penalized Busch $50,000. Penske officials and Shell Pennzoil publicly reprimanded him.
"While I am disappointed that Kurt will not be racing for our team in the future, both Kurt and I felt that separating at this time was best for all parties, including our team and sponsors," Penske said in the news release. "I wish Kurt the best in his future racing endeavors."
Penske was out of the country and unavailable to comment directly.
But Bud Denker, a senior vice president for Penske Corporation, said the split was best for all parties.
"Kurt had some concern with our performance,'' Denker told ESPN.com. "Obviously, we had concerns with his on and off the track behavior. We agreed to take the high road for both of us. We agreed that separating at this time was best for all parties, including Kurt and the sponsors.'' http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/7318544/kurt-busch-leaves-penske-racing-mutual-split
Busch is a bad boy in the sport and just lost millions of dollars in salary, endorsements, prize money and more. And where will he end up is anybody's guess. Perhaps he will become a start and parker or drive a for a very low budget team. He is not going to drive for a high budget team like Rouch, Hendricks etc. He may also end up in Nationwide for a season or two and work his way up. It is also possible he go into drag racing, which he seems to like.
And there is some lucky driver, like a David Ragen, who is going to get a ride of a life time because of Busch's stupidity.
The day after Busch was fired, he was heard humming this song:


Every sport has it's bad boys. NASCAR has Kurt and Kyle Busch.
