Kyle Busch under fire after wrecking Hornaday under caution

Re: Kyle Busch's written statement

To all,

I've had a lot of time today to sit and reflect, and try to put my thoughts into words as best I can.

I want to sincerely apologize for my actions during Friday night's Truck Series race at Texas.

I apologize to my fans, all my sponsors, everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing and Kyle Busch Motorsports.

After talking with my team, it's great to have their support and encouragement to assure me that there are better days ahead. Even though this took place while driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, I am sorry for how difficult this has been for everyone associated with Joe Gibbs Racing's Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series teams.

I'd also like to apologize to Ron Hornaday Jr., and everyone associated with the No. 33 team in the Truck Series.

I understand why I was taken out of the car for the rest of the weekend. NASCAR officials had to act, and I accept their punishment and take full responsibility for my actions.

As a racecar driver, the hardest thing to do is to sit on the sidelines listening to cars on the track when you know you should be out there competing. For this, I have no one to blame but myself.

Through a lot of support from the people around me, I feel like I've made a lot of strides this year, but this was certainly a step backward. Moving forward, I will do everything I possibly can to represent everyone involved in a positive manner. However, I know my long-term actions will have more of a bearing than anything I say right now.

Sincerely,

Kyle Busch

What a fucking Moron!!

Group hug for Joe, his favorite driver is a bigger ass than mine.

The look on KB's face going into talk to the officials is priceless.

Old KB needs to realize that he has passed the point at which words can have any effect on his situation.

This comes across like a killer doing in a family with a butcher knife and then telling the cops "man, I'm really sorry".

I bet Joe goes back to picking him just as soon as he's available to be picked.. Come to think of it, that won't be until Homestead at the earliest, since ol' KB isn't racing this week!

 

[Zembonez]

Yeah. He'll be back like nothing happened.

Yeah Jim he's running out of Mulligans

Yeah and I still picked his car for TEXAS....GO #18

Yeah. He'll be back like nothing happened.

Hopefully he'll learn from this ....I doubt it!

He never has in the past. Some people just think they are so good that they don't need to play by any rules. Ask Terrel Owens.

Yeah, you got lucky that McDowell was in last week's race!

I'm trying to remember if we had a situation like this last year, where a guy raced a different car from one week to the next and was still available to pick..
