NASCAR: Kurt Busch’s Potty Mouth Costs Him His Ride
Kyle Busch lost his primary sponsor, M&M’s, after an on-track incident late in the NASCAR season. But it’s some off-the-track antics that have cost Kyle’s brother his ride.
FOX News Radio’s Chris Hoenig reports:
Kurt Busch and Penske Racing are parting ways. The ’04 NASCAR champ had an embarrassing 2011, sparring with reporters multiple times, including the season finale at Homestead.
(Busch) “Can you get this (bleep) out of my face?”
He continued his verbal assault until the reporter cancelled the live interview.
(Busch) “Why can’t we tape this (bleep)? Well, I’d like to do it live, too, (bleep) 10 minutes ago.”
That incident cost him $50,000 and proved the final straw for Penske and primary sponsor, Shell Pennzoil. Shell says they’ll stand behind Penske as they choose a new driver for the #22.
