I guess that means then that they won't be playing up how the "sport" was started by a bunch of Moonshine Runners any mo.

If you read some of the stuff that is coming out now it would seem this is a DUI cover up . Nice move Kurt with the new Miller Beer sponsorship .

Maybe not "befitting of a champion", but certainly befitting a legend!

I believe the behavior not "beffitting of a champion" was back in his incident in May not his lastest ordeal.

Roush should have no problem letting him go now. It says here that, without Roush mega$, he'll never win another championship.

Dumb and dumber.

We seem to forget that professional race car drivers are just ordinary men who have extraordianary talent in a particular field. In this PC age there is no room for common, everyday mistakes, etc. Of course, my youthful heroes were Bryan, Ward, Foyt; Hurtubise, Jones, the Unsers....

Sorry IMPACT THIS IS NOT 1966 . Kurt was a drunk driver and got off because they took him back to the track , end of story . You would be in jail right now if it was you . Shane Hmeil smoked a joint on his off weekend and has to sit out two years . Kurt was driving drunk and could have killed your entire family , but he will race today .

Obviously, the thing that compounds Busch's situation more than if it were a professional baseball/football/basketball player is that;

1. The man drives a car for a living.
2. He drives for an organization that promotes “family values” more than any of the other major sports.
3. He drives for a beer company sponsor.

But knowing the way things work in this world, my guess is that he’ll beat the DUI rap and just face traffic violations.

Yee haw. Pass the booze.

Isn't that what they call a "boilermaker", whiskey and beer mixed?



All the sponsors are probably laughing it off. How quickly they all forget the Robbie Moroso story. Kurt should be made to sit down and talk to the family of those killed by Moroso. That would be justice.

One things for sure,,,,,,Mr. Penske will straighten him out!

I don't see in the article where he was cited for a DUI.

Al Jr. went into rehab. Let's see if Kurt Busch does. Don't take this to mean I tolerate DUI. I had my identity stolen by someone who had 9 DUI convictions because the commenwealth of Virginia was stupid enough to, at least at that time, to have your social security number as your driver license number. I literally handed VA DMV all the evidence they needed to put this person into prison for 5 years, but the attorney for the Commonwealth said he was to busy to prosecute someone with 9 DUIs.
