Τον Kyle Busch όσοι βλέπετε NASCAR σίγουρα θα το ξέρετε, και σίγουρα θα ξέρετε ότι έχει ένα πολύ οξύθυμο χαρακτήρα. Στον αγώνα στη πίστα Texas Motor Speedway για το πρωτάθλημα Camping World Truck Series την Παρασκευή που μας πέρασε, προκάλεσε ένα ανάρμοστο ατύχημα στον Ron Hornaday, αφού στην ουσία τον πέταξε πάνω στις μπαριέρες.
Οι διοργανωτές τον απέβαλαν από τον αγώνα του ΣΚ, ενώ δήλωσαν ότι την Δευτέρα, ίσως να τον τιμωρήσουν με μεγαλύτερες ποινές. Ο Busch έβγαλε μια ανακοίνωση που ζητά συγνώμη για το ατύχημα, αλλά δεν νομίζω να μπορεί να σώσει την κατάσταση. Έκανε μεγάλη “βλακεία” –άλλη λέξη θέλω να χρησιμοποιήσω εδώ, μία που ξεκινάει από “Μ”, αλλά έχει χάρη– που πραγματικά πρέπει να τιμωρηθεί.
Ανανέωση: Τελικά το NASCAR τιμώρησε τον Busch με πρόστιμο 50.000 δολαρίων.

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
