As if I didn’t dislike you enough, Kyle Busch



You go taking swipes at Dale, Jr. Not ok, buddy. Although if you are looking to dethrone your brother Kurt as the most hated driver in Nascar, well then this is an excellent start, or finish depending on how you look at things.

Busch had this to say about the golden boy:

“It's never Junior; it's always the crew chief,” in reference to Tony Eury, Jr.’s firing, “And if Junior doesn't run well, then he [McGrew] is going to be the 'problem' again.”

Damn skippy, kid. Junior is the face of Nascar, the star, the aw shucks Opie of the gang. And so what? Thanks to him, you make a hell of a lot of money from sponsorship dollars that come from the heightened awareness of your sport. An awareness that grows due to the performance of superstars like Junior, Jeff Gordon and to a lesser extent Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne. Yeah, you’ve performed very well, and I still believe you were totally robbed of your first Championship last season thanks to that crazy Chase format. But whatever, just get in your car, drive your race and keep your big mouth shut. Your wit has not even begun to come close to the likes of Tony Stewart, who at least makes you laugh as he insults your intelligence and abilities as a human being.
