hav :smilielol:e been a BIG kurt fan since he was a rookie. he will have a ride in no time. he is a champion and that means he will start in any car he drives. still one of the best drivers out there. hell both bush brothers are kick ass drivers. nascar needs the bush brothers just like nascar needed DALE SR. the 3 car was hated until he died. tony was the badd boy for a time and nascar let him have his own team. they should put him in the 88 car. at least then it would see victorty lane a couple times a year instead of running the middle of the pack. or maybe tony could give him a car and have a great race team. STILL A BUSH FAN. dont care that his wife left him. last time i checked there is hot pussy everywhere. he will have no problem finding more.  there have only been 3 chase champs. kurt tony and jimmie. so whers your driver. most likely behind one of these three. i vote put him in the 88. it needs a winner not a cry baby who blames his crew every week like JR.

i will agree with a few things.............i hated dale sr. he was a cheat. dirty driver,but didnt want you to do to him what he did. jr. is a cry baby. nuff said about that. i like kurt bush. thought he drove the wheels off that dodge. yep he has a little anger. i think if you have a bad day and your frustrated, a microphone could set you off. all the drivers have and will lose it. kyle is a punk.he thinks he is supposed to win every race. he has the same attitude of dale sr. "i matter and no one else does". my drivers and team would be ryan newman, tony stewart and stewart haas racing which will include danica patrick this year.thats where i sit. i root for my team and then whoever is in the dodge.

Latest on Kurt. Petty Enterprises, specifically Robby Lommis is interested in signing Kurt to either replace AJ or a third car.

[TruckDriver]

Ha, He wont last long there. Richard Petty wont tolerate his BS at all.

I did read this though....

Best Buy to sponsor Kenseth?: Roush Fenway Racing and #17-Matt Kenseth appear to be well on their way to securing the Best Buy sponsorship for 2012, according to sources familiar with the situation. The Roush organization has pledged to run Kenseth, the 2003 Cup champion, without sponsorship but has been working hard to find funding for the driver coming off a three-win season where he placed fourth in the Cup standings. Kenseth's primary sponsor Crown Royal opted not to sponsor a race team in 2012. Best Buy's sponsorship of #43-AJ Allmendinger at Richard Petty Motorsports was for 24 races in 2011. RPM has not announced any sponsorship for the #43 car for next season. An RPM spokesman said the team would have no comment on its sponsorship search.

Allmendinger to drive Penske No. 22 Dodge for '12

But that said, I like the move

Always liked the Dinger. If he can finish 15th in the points with RPM equipment he should be contending for a championship in the Penske ride.

I like Todd Gordon as well.
I think AJ and Todd will make a good team.

He took what he could get, I guess. It's definitely going to be a humbling experience for him. The #51 is a fairly competitive team for what it is (a 2nd-3rd tier team), so he's gonna have to work pretty hard to decent finishes and maybe get back into a top team later on. Otherwise he'll end up on that sad list of former champions (DW, the Labonte brothers, etc.) who spend the final years of their otherwise stellar careers driving for low level teams and finishing 35th every week or using their champion's provisional to start and park. Those other guys were in their 40's-50s, but this guy is still in his prime, so hopefully he can pull off a comeback.
