Glad to see that M&M's made a statement saying that they didn't support the actions of Kyle Busch! Think its time I go to the M&M's website and tell them just what I think about their driver! Granted Ron Hornaday isn't one of the coolest guys out there racing but he is old school!
Wake up Busch boys aint either of you ever going to be like Earnhardt!
M&M's statement on Facebook:
M&M's U.S.A.
My boss asked me to share this: The recent actions by Kyle Busch are not consistent with the values of M&M'S and we're very disappointed. Like you, we hold those who represent our brand to a higher standard and we have expressed our concerns directly to Joe Gibbs Racing.
That's my favorite quote from "days of Thunder" LOL
Yeah great movie!
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR has fined Kyle Busch $50,000 and placed him on probation until Dec. 31 for his actions during the Nov. 4 Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Busch violated Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing) of the 2011 NASCAR Rule Book. NASCAR took immediate action, parking Busch for the remainder of Friday night's event and maintaining the parked position for the Nationwide and Sprint Cup events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. On Monday, the parking directive was lifted by NASCAR.
In issuing Monday's penalty, NASCAR went on to say that "if during the remaining NASCAR events in 2011 there is another action by the competitor that is deemed by NASCAR officials as detrimental to stock car racing or to NASCAR, or is disruptive to the orderly conduct of an event, the competitor will be suspended indefinitely from NASCAR."
I don't think a $50,000 fine and probation is enough in my book!!!
Now I wonder what Joe Gibbs is going to do? My bet is nothing! You claim to be a class act Joe now act like it and do something!
I know why Hendrick got rid of Kyle now! Rick Hendrick didn't get where he has gotten without being able to read people good.
he'll be racing next week wont he? joe gibbs acts like its nothing , he wants him and sayes nothing [last week nasscar] what did you think of smoke and of edwards?
It was on ESPN this morning that Mars aka M&M's have pulled their sponsorship from Kyle Busch for the last two races this season! Its about time!
The following was posted on M&M's facebook page this morning:
My boss asked me to share the following note: Kyle Busch will not drive the M&M’S® car for remainder of the 2011 NASCAR season, but he will return next season as our driver. We will not compromise our values for victories. We sincerely hope our actions will positively impact Kyle and that he comes prepared next season to abide by the values we hold so dear.
Plus this is from Nascar.com:
The Mars company isn't the only sponsor evidently unhappy with Busch -- Z-Line Designs, which is scheduled to back the No. 18 Gibbs Nationwide car next weekend at Homestead-Miami, has asked for Denny Hamlin to replace Busch in that vehicle, sources have confirmed.
But I am still waiting to see if Joe Gibbs does anything!
