Kyle Busch just suffered a broken leg and foot after a crash at Daytona. He's out indefinitely. But you know what? This was in a race he had no business participating in. What is it with some of these Sprint Cup drivers?
They already have a full time job in the "major leagues" of stock car racing making mega-bucks. So what are they doing playing in "minor league" games for chump change? Once in the big leagues, you didn't see stars like Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson racing around in lesser cars -- much less trucks. It was beneath their stature. It seems only the "volatile" personalities engage in such nonsense.
Brad Keselowski isn't exactly the most popular driver in the garage area, and Tony Stewart wound up killing a kid on a dirt track last year. Now Kyle is out with some broken bones. It was all unnecessary if they'd stuck to their primary jobs to begin with. Do they need to beat up on the kids with lesser equipment to feed their fragile egos? Besides, in Kyle's case, he drives a Japanese car in the most American racing series there is. Doesn't NASCAR itself bill the Daytona 500 as the "Great American Race"? So why do they allow Toyotas and hot-heads like Kyle Busch to drive them? He had an accident that will keep him out for a while. No sad tears here.
His brother Kurt has been embroiled in a he said/she said altercation with his former significant other. Lots of crazy allegations have been raised. The NASCAR brass had suspended the elder Busch indefinitely. After exhausting his appeals, the suspension remains in effect. He won't be racing for a while either. But Kurt has always had a "loose cannon" air about him in the past, both on and off the track. He can definitely pilot a race car, but one never knows what he might do next. At least he was driving a Chevy. Better than his brother.
As for Georges? Daddy Bush had his "1000 points of light". Nobody had any idea then, and to this day, what the hell he was talking about -- probably including himself.
W once famously stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier and advertised "Mission accomplished". Twelve years later, war rages on and things have become far, far worse in the entire region.
The moral of the story?
Busch/ Bush -- what's the difference? These guys are ALL nuts.
