03:31 PM ET 07.27 | Kyle Busch has a plan to turn negative publicity from being charged with going 128 mph in a 45 mph zone down a rural road in North Carolina into a positive. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver and his foundation have pledged to help 10 schools put more than 300 teens through the B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe) program that NHRA Top Fuel drag racer Doug Herbert began in 2008 after his sons Jon and James were killed in an automobile accident while speeding. ... "One of the things I focused on and said back in May was I really wanted to use this situation to generate positives from it and learn from it," Busch told ESPN.com on Wednesday. "Anytime you have situations like this you hope to at least make something positive of it."

If these Japanese cars were not sold in the Good ole' USA we would be selling more GM, Ford, and MoPar vehicles ... these same people would be working for the Big Three instead of a Japanese manufacturer. I wonder if the Chinese have the same outlook as you do ...

GM sold more cars in China than they sold in the U.S. last year.

Sure am -- ain't now Japanese Schlitz cans in this bubble ... and as you also pointed out and agree with me there were more GM cars sold in China then the US. The reason for that is the Chinese restrict how many Schlitz cans enter their country. They don't forget what the Japanese did to that Nation during WWII.

Don't tell them that the G.M. cars have lots of Japanese made parts.

Toyota Motor Corp.???s sales in China may overtake those in Europe for the first time this year.

The world???s biggest carmaker expects sales in Europe to reach 800,000 units in 2010, down 10 percent from 886,000 vehicles last year, Didier Leroy, president of Toyota???s European unit said in Paris yesterday.

The forecast contrasts with the carmaker???s plan to boost deliveries in China 13 percent this year to more than 800,000 vehicles, outlined by Masahiro Kato, president of the company???s China business, on Aug. 24. In the past, Toyota???s sales in China have never exceeded deliveries in Europe, said Shiori Hashimoto, a spokeswoman in Tokyo.

This is the true story, I have no idea where you get your info.

Veteran crew chief Kenny Francis will lead the #5 Sprint Cup Series team when driver Kasey Kahne moves to Hendrick Motorsports for the 2012 season. Francis will join the organization after the conclusion of the 2011 NASCAR schedule.

He's talked the talk, now let's see if he walks the walk. Actions will speak much louder than words.
