Gator Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Who saw him throw his HANS device at Casey Mears? I couldn't beleive it, well, yeah I could!! Sad part is, casey wasn't even close to him when he got loose and wrecked. Here is the story from NASCAR.com, Casey talks about gettin loose, but I sure don't remeber seeing it!! And I watched the replay to! I like Rusty wallace's comment at the end, but I doubt HE would ever do something like that!! CONCORD, N.C. -- Casey Mears made up 45 points on Kyle Busch in the Nextel Cup point standings during Sunday's race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. He expects to make up a few more when NASCAR penalizes Busch for throwing a HANS device at his car during the race. "It's one of those things where in the old days, when somebody would react like that you could go back and deal with it in another way, maybe behind the garage or in the truck,'' Mears said Tuesday during a break in the Car of Tomorrow test at LMS. "Nowadays, guys like Kyle realize they can get away with doing things like that and know you can't retaliate. NASCAR realizes that and I think they're going to do something about it.'' Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president for competition, said officials may not announce sanctions until Wednesday. Such incidents in the past have resulted in a fine and loss of points. Robby Gordon was fined $25,000, 25 driver points and 25 owner points for throwing his helmet at Michael Waltrip's car last season at New Hampshire. "One thing you shouldn't do is try to get on the racetrack,'' Pemberton said. "And the other thing is you shouldn't be throwing things at people. It's the way it is.'' Busch had to be restrained by a track official as he tried to walk onto the speedway to throw the HANS, which barely missed Mears' car. He was reacting to being caught up in a spinout by Mears, who lost control about a car length ahead of Busch. Mears went on to finish 23rd, two laps down. Busch was knocked out of the race and finished 39th, falling from seventh to ninth in points, only 63 ahead of Mears in 11th place. "Obviously, I didn't try to do anything intentional,'' Mears said. "I had a pretty good car, and at that point it got really loose and got up high and I was trying to save it as best as I could. "Kyle got caught up in a mess that really wasn't his fault. I can understand how he would get upset, but he definitely way overreacted.'' Mears said it was no different than at Phoenix when Busch bumped his car during a red flag situation after the two collided. NASCAR penalized Busch five laps for that incident. "At Phoenix he ran into me on the straightaway and then he cut his left rear tire and crashed and then came back and hit me afterwards,'' Mears said. "I just happen to be the guy in the right place at the right time for all that stuff.'' Mears said Busch hasn't called to apologize or discuss the incident. "I saw his interview after the race,'' he said. "Obviously, he was in the truck [NASCAR hauler] and they talked to him. He was Mr. Nice Guy after that, which everybody would be. "But at the same time he's always Mr. Nice Guy after that. At some point he's got to learn how to carry himself a little better, grow up a little bit and not react like that.'' Rusty Wallace, in his weekly column for ESPN.com, said somebody needs to "kick his ****.'' "If I had been there I'd have stopped, backed up and got out of the car, and smacked Busch's face off,'' Wallace said. "Then I would have gotten back in the car and took off. "That was a ridiculous and embarrassing move. Seriously though, the problem is he keeps doing this stuff. You would think he would learn, but he just keeps doing it. I don't like it when somebody disrespects the sport, and that's what he's doing right now. '' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Kyle Busch I would have loved to see Rusty do that to him, those Busch boys shouldn't be in Nextel Cup. They have Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde personalities! They both need to be taken out back behind the tool shed!! Arrogant as all get out and make themselves look like fools! The day will come, maybe not today, or tomorrow, but NASCAR will have to start banning guys from competing due to their lack of good character!!

whitetailtrax Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Kyle Busch Not much of a Jimmy Spencer fan, but I'd love to see him take Shrub Jr. out behind the shed and whoop his behind! Perhaps if Hendrick voluntarily suspended him for a race, it would hit home that he needs to grow up and act like an adult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Kyle Busch I agree with you, until they have to sit out and watch someone else drive the car they will (Kurt and Kyle) will continue to act like idiots! For pete's sake, you drive a race car for a living, most would do it for free!! Grow up or get out of the sport!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: Kyle Busch He did nothing most other drivers haven't. Even ole Ward Burton has thrown something in disgust. Now I don't care for "bugeyes" either, but let's not forget the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I don't care for "bugeyes" either, but let's not forget the past. [/ QUOTE ] But what were the circumstances when Ward threw his whatever he threw. Wasn't it something off the bottom of his feet or heel. Anyways you have to look at what happened, with Kyle Busch nothing happened, he was caught up in the accident that was caused from Casey getting lose. I do not remember what happened to Ward, but didn't he throw them at Junior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would venture not very much. Now, let's put that in perspective and compare him to Busch. Think Busch has done SOMETHING in retaliation what, twice this year alone. Do belive there may be a pattern forming here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowJoe Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: Kyle Busch Go Rusty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nascar has to learn sometime that if you continue to let these little kids into a sport where you have 40 year old veterans, somebody will put them into the wall everytime they get on the track. Back in the days of Big E and The King, you got your **** whooped if you pulled their panzy crap. You respected the other drivers but they in turn had to give you the same respect. If you had an obviously faster car then you waited for the guy in front of you to move over. If he didn't show you the respect of allowing the race to move along then he suddenly got loose going into turn 1 and was a scrap heep on the backstretch. They have no respect for other drivers and hold a grudge while they expect their actions to be excused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
