Just a quick definition of a NUN: is a woman who has taken vows committing her to live a spiritual life. She may be an ascetic who voluntarily chooses to leave mainstream society and live her life in prayer and contemplation in a monastery or convent.
After the the multiple spankings NASCAR and the sponsor M&M have administered on Kyle Busch I'm left to wonder, if this trend continuous, who will be filling those already empty seats in the next few years.
I just can't stop saying to myself- when did NASCAR and M&M get religion- NASCAR tells them to go out and play hard "HAVE AT IT BOYS" and Mars (M&M manf.) most of known that race car drivers ARE NOT THE SISTERS OF THE HOLY.
Most of drivers are not ALTER BOYS. Can we agree on that.
So why all of the sudden do they get so OUTRAGED and holier-than-thou about retaliation in this sport, specially when fans can give them chapter and verse on a hundreds of situations that mirror the Busch-Hornaday drama.
It was sad to see a guy who is full of attitude, who is one of the few fun guys to watch in NASCAR look like he had been beaten down, subdued if you will, he looked like his spirit and confidence had been taken away.
It really upset me. Honestly.
Thank you NASCAR for further adding "vanilla" to the sport, I guess they most think all they needs is another Jimmie Johnson or Jeff Gordon and hope that Dale Jr. races until he is 99 year old.
Just a little help for NASCAR from this humble fan, I know the NUNS do have televisions in their homes so start target-advertising that market.
You may need it.
Seriously folks, I understand that sponsorship is everything in this sport, but there has to be a happy medium somewhere, in my opinion that was not done here.
The sponsors have to understand that NASCAR fans, who will be spending money on their products, are NOT GOING TO JUDGE their brand for certain situations that are just a part of the sport.
As always this is just a fans opinion and from what I understand everybody has one and I thank God for that.
Enough said.

Beating and banging has its place in the sport, but not head on into the wall at 150+ miles an hour under caution. Vickers wrecked Kensith yesterday in the "proper" way, under green and brushed into the wall.
Wrecking someone under caution is a safety issue not for the drivers, but for the safety crews standing unprotected out on the track. A safety worker picking up debris can't be constantly watching his back to make sure someone's no knocking someone else around for revenge. If anything that was the main message NASCAR was sending to Busch and everyone else.
As for the sponsors, all they want to do is making money. Of course they want the goody goody candy coated (no pun intended) driver who goes out makes laps and wins races. Because of trying to maintain that friendly image a company is not going to go out there and fully support an athlete who is forced to sit out a race, game, event. I bet if you dig deep enough there are probably weekly announcements from Nike, Rebook, Adidas, McDonalds, Burger King, etc. apologizing for, or at least distancing themselves from, their spokesperson's bad behavior. It might not be as public as M&Ms announcement, but I am sure it is out there if you look.

Everyone has an attitude. Some people have a good one and some people have a bad one.

I am in TOTAL agreement.
maybe they can paint faces on those empty seats, if they further dumb down this sport what is the point of even watching?
they need Kyle and more like him, careful what you wish for folks, sometimes once you get what you want it ain't what you wanted at all.
Nascar without Kyle will be that much more boring, and frankly with ticket prices the way they are, I can be bored in front of my TV for less money and hassle.
And when these tracks can no longer afford to hold races because all the seats are empty and they cannot sell a 16 oz. bottle of water for $4.00 the sport is finished folks.

Congrats to Brad, a most powerful run but somewhat boring. Ironically, my wife blew my mind this weekend while I was watching the race as she pranced around the house in a spoof of the NASCAR logo tee shirt with the word "BORING" on the front! She picked it up at http://www.nascarwidows.com and it was quite funny and too close to the truth.
