Well, it's breaking news out of the NASCAR rumor mill. Kurt Busch has been handed a one race suspension and his probation has been extended to the end of the year. And guess what? The media and the so called 'fans' are at his throat saying how it's about time or that they should ban Kyle too. Well folks, this is what is wrong with NASCAR. Not Brian France, not the COT, not the invisibris cautions, none of that. These fans. With the increase in social media it is easy for everyone to know everyone's opinions. And, you're reading mine now. But some of these people are far too biased. And for some reason, they are not turned on by a good fight. Come on, unless you're a rich British child living in a sheltered mansion somewhere in London, you probably enjoy a good fight once in a while. A fight launched NASCAR in 1979. Why are we shying away from them now? I remember 2 years ago when everyone wanted Carl Edwards suspended or Brad Keselowski suspended as well. Those so called fans are just biased little people who just want to seem like they're not just another redneck NASCAR fan. Come on people, it's OK to enjoy a fight.
Anyway, more to the point, Kurt does not deserve this hate. Matter of fact, he doesn't deserve to be suspended (well, he broke the NASCAR rule book, so technically he does, but ethically, no he doesn't deserve this) at all. Now, why is this you may ask? Well, you put yourself in Kurt's shoes. The man loses his ride at Penske because of his temper. Well, he has to go drive terrible Hendrick cars prepared by James Finch. (I apologize to fans of James Finch) Not only that, but what do the fans and media expect of him? They expect the man to win! Really! They actually expect him to win! Well, Kurt has to live up to those expectations now doesn't he? Well then, he's doing great out there but every week he gets hit with bad luck ruining his day yet again. Now, you tell me that with ALL that pressure on his back that if you physically could not live up to the high expectations of people that you yourself would not be pretty angry about every little thing? Kurt is stressed out of his mind. He just needs a break for once and he can't get it. Not to mention the media portrays him as an evil person bent on destruction and murder. So he's always got that looming over him.
To wrap this up, give Kurt the break he couldn't get on track. He doesn't need this. He has enough to deal with.
