  And next time he'll use the same exact maneuver on someone to win. He is a whiny bitch.

  Come on what? It's true. He'll bitch about someone doing something...and then the very next week...he'll go out and do the same thing he was just whining and crying about. He's one of the biggest crybabies in NASCAR.

  He's also the most real personality in the sport and has given back more than anyone in NASCAR. I guess you're into the Jimmie Johnson type though.

  Can't say I remember hearing Jimmie Johnson whine and cry about BLOCKING in a race. You know, a thing that is PART OF RACING.

  Hell no. I was a die-hard Earhardt Sr. fan growing up. Then a Harvick fan after he died. Never really liked Smoke because he's a hot head. I watched him before he was in Nascar and he was the same way. Wreck ya one night for the win, fight you the next because you did it to him.

  He might not whine about blocking but he will whine if two different teammates pit in front and behind him.

  This is about Tony Stewart being the whiny little bitch that he is. Not Jimmie Johnson. We all know they both are. Hell, all drivers are. That's the way it is. But Stewart is by far the worst. And it's not even close. OK, well maybe besides Robby Gordon. But that would be about it.

  I remember watching that race live on TV. I honestly thought I had just watched someone die racing.

  yep, I thought he was dead too. I was in the brand new Petty tower, the upper deck in front of where it happened. The guy in the yellow picking up the pieces is Jimmy Webb, he painted my car. In the 2nd video, you see a cop with his back to the fence get chewed up and spit out by the fireball. That is Deputy Dea. He said he felt the heat like opening an oven, but it was over before he could move.

  Kurt Busch is getting divorced
• coyotes22

  

  Before Dale Earnhardt Jr. could race again at Daytona International Speedway after his father died there 10 years ago, he had to check the place out, see if he'd be overwhelmed, see if his cold memories there would consume him. The week before NASCAR returned to Daytona for the first time after the 2001 Daytona 500, he took some friends there, in part to show them the place but also to see how he felt. Like a man going ice fishing who isn't sure if the ice is thick enough to hold him, he stepped gingerly onto the grounds. The ice didn't crack. He didn't sink. He felt good. He found he still liked the place.

  Pretty good read:

  Wow:

  DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- When questions about his personal life came up during his media availability Thursday at Daytona International Speedway, Kurt Busch was ready.
  Busch acknowledged that he and his wife, Eva, are separated and seeking to end their marriage. The split, which was known in racing circles, was reported after Busch was accompanied at Sunday's Sprint Cup event by Patricia Driscoll.
  Busch's win at Sonoma brought Driscoll's presence in Victory Lane -- and Eva's absence -- into sharper focus. Anticipating possible questions about his marital status, Busch brought a prepared statement to his question-and-answer session with reporters and read from his notes when the subject was broached.
  "I appreciate the fact that, until now, the media has been extremely professional in respecting the privacy of my personal situation with Eva and I," Busch said. "And although those in the NASCAR community have been aware for some time now that we are no longer together and that we are legally separated. ...
  "While we go through this process, it's been tough. In the upcoming weeks, we'll work at formally terminating our marriage. But we do so with most respect for each other, and we'll always be friends. So with that, I'm happy to answer any questions about the racing side of it. It's just the personal side is just that."
  Judging from the statistics, personal issues haven't affected Busch's skills behind the wheel. Though the victory in Sonoma was his first of the season, Busch won poles for the three events immediately prior to the Infineon race.
  "As I've said, performance on the track is always the best antidote for putting all that aside," Busch said.
  Busch has been married to Eva (maiden name Bryan) since 2006. They have no children. Busch did not characterize the nature of his relationship with Driscoll in Thursday's media session.

  No wonder he has gotten three poles and a win in the last month.
