How long before Will Power follows suit?
Anyway, here's the straw that broke the camel's back

He is not fired (yet) according http://www.nascar.com, but the final verdict will be today. David Regan or Reutti are named as replacement.
Edit: yep, fired indeed.

The Bush Bros.' parents must be feeling quite ashamed by their boys now. Both have been put in the spotlight due to petulant behaviour and paid some kind of penalty for it. Good to see that Penske kicked Kurt out.

Truly a class act. We'll miss him dearly.

Either way, I wouldn't want to be in Jon's shoes at the moment (the guy who filmed the video Kals posted), what was originally supposed to be a "hey look Kurt having another meltdown have a laugh at it" moment went viral and this is the end result. The reactions of KB fans on his facebook fanpage last night was nothing short of insanity, the poor kids pretty much had to go into hiding cos of this.
At the end of the day, Kurt Busch got Kurt Busch fired, the sooner the KB22 fans realise this, the safer Jon will be, you never know what nutters are out there, there's a good lesson here in personal privacy on the internet.

LOL, Jr has more class than to scream abuse at the people that pay his wages.
He only screams abuse at the people who he pays the wages for
At one race he sacked TJ this year, reinstated him, then sacked him again all with the space of 2 laps, all TJ said in response was a calm "10-4", was so funny listening to it at the time.

Sometimes I really hate America. Getting fired for giving the finger and a shout? Can't explain how ridiculous and childish I think it is.
Must be an American thing, because in Europe nobody would care. Except the UK who start to act more and more like the US.

Sadly not omega. Busch has some real anger issues which have been exposed publicly since earlier in the year. To treat your team and the media in such a way is wholly unacceptable. If he was an office worker, behaving in such a way would get you fired immediately. It should be no different for a highly paid, public facing sports personality.

There are a lot more drivers who had issues with showing their "emotions".

Not that regularly though. Hell, they are all racing drivers, but enough is enough.erwin greven wrote:There are a lot more drivers who had issues with showing their "emotions".

This isn't the first time that Busch has been fired from a team for anger issues is it? Other drivers have trouble containing their emotions, some of them in a very dangerous way (looking at you Earl) but like Jacob says, it's been the frequency of Busch's explosions whilst also the quick degradation of his meltdown that's caused his current demise.
