http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/sto...mment-following-NASCAR-Nationwide-race-060312 Well ive seen the tapes of the race. In my opinion it was a little both their faults. Give and take give and take. But he also need to realize his Sprint car currently is sponsorless. If he continues to yell and threaten reporters noone will sponsor him or anything he drives. Wake up Kurt...you loose this ride and what will you do.....go local track racing?? With the lifestyle you currently have do you think that will put the bread and butter on your table? Go ask Jeremy Mayfield how lifes treating him without the big paycheks. Im all for opinions...but to lash out reporters for doing their jobs(and Kurt if it were not for reporters....how would we know who you even are?) There are HUNDREDS if drivers who would drool to be in your position so either buck up or get out. Sport doesnt need the riff raff you bring.
 
In his or any of the drivers defense for that matter, If the tv crews see they are heated and hot under the collar, why not give them a few before you stuff a microphone in their face. I understand they are on the biggest stage but they are still human. I guess if that's what tv coverage is gonna do, then maybe guys should just say no comment and walk on.

True and good point. Best to give them some breathin room i guess. He is a great driver and in no way am i personally bashing him. I just think at times he forgets how lucky he does have it and other dont. Heck Richard Childress said he would hire him in a heartbeat....if he could leave the baggage at the door. His current car owner Finch needs a sponsor. This doesnt help. but i agree....things get heated maybe next time he will just hush and walk away.
 
these drivers are prepped by their PR people to deal with this stuff. Some handle it better than others. Kurt Busch has always been a hot head. I hope he can reel in his attitude. He is very talented but his temper is gonna cost him his career.
 
I was taught to by my momma to be nice and polite, but there were a few times I came outta my race car and if I had a mic shoved in my face I wouldn't have been....lol
 
I like Kurt showing some character unlike many other and the reporters should know which drivers have short fuse and which drivers don't
 
True and i always wondered after last years deal if he wouldnt be....lets say...picked on by reporters. Who knows.

From my limited knowledge of drivers and racing in general I would agree. Could it be possible that it all came to easy for Kurt? I'm not saying it was easy to achieve, just that he came from nowhere pretty quick when Roush put him in the trucks and then up the ladder. He can still drive but does he really want to race?
 
Way i see it now is this....Justin was right there and did he threaten the same as he did the reporter??Justin was there right after the incident....reporter afterwards. Been thinking about it and way i think of it now is he is a bully.......picks and chooses his people knowing whom he can conquer and whom he cannnot. He knew Justin would be a challenge being he is a driver and can retaliate next week.What will the reporter do...write a bad story about him? His apology came only because he knows and probably was told to make one. Finch is running on a shoestring program and cannot afford to run another year without sponsors. What will he do this week knowing he needs a driver?
 
Phoenix Racing owner James Finch isn't so sure the driver will return immediately after serving the suspension, saying he will sit down with Busch over the next couple of days to see if they will move forward together.

"If he's going to kill himself I'm not going to be in the airplane with him," Finch told ESPN.com by phone. "If that's what he's planning on doing, I am going to get out."
