Darlington boos Busch brothers
Posted: Sunday May 11, 2008 09:52AM ET
The massive, tremendous, throaty "BOOOOOOO" came when the Busch brothers -- Kurt and his reviled brother Kyle, who is public enemy No. 1 to Junior Nation -- were introduced together in a special Mother's Day edition of driver introductions. They happened to have qualified consecutively, which allowed both to come out at the same time. And the fans unleashed a long, lasting jeer that could probably be heard for miles. On the other hand, Dale Earnhardt Jr. received what seemed like even more cheers than usual. Tony Stewart had the third-most noise behind Earnhardt Jr. and the Busch brothers -- receiving his usual 50-50 mixture of cheers and boos, and Jeff Gordon also was welcomed with a heavy amount of mixed noise.

Elephant boy still hasn't learned -- then he drills the Bif ... won't even heed warnings from his own crew. Mark this -- it is just a matter of time before his moronic attitude catches up with him ... such a shame, he has soooo much talent!

Report Offensive Commentand his answer is?????? I WON!!!!! He showed me something, Im not a busch fan at all, but to come out the next week after junior nation makes threats to him and everyone hates on him and to win!!!! That has my respect. Most in nascar would have been on there toes and probably not won on purpose to make people happy. Not kyle Busch, He came out and drove hard and was his self. Congrats Kyle. I dont like you, but you are for real.

Report Offensive CommentFor someone that age to be oblivious to all this hatred and still come out on top? Balls. Big brass balls. The kid can drive. He looks and sounds more like Earnhardt Sr. than Jr. does. Sorry Jr fans but that's my opinion.
Now, should NASCAR investigate why Gibbs is dominating everything all of a sudden. It wasn't gradual. It was BAM!! Right there from Daytona.

Report Offensive CommentAs much as I hate the SOB he can drive a car he just needs a five knuckle attitude adjustment. As for Jr he will not win this year, not with his current crew chief. I like the guy but he will never be anything even close to his dad. My prediction new crew chief next year, win a race mid season of 2009. Hopefully somebody can help Kyle a little before he learns the hard way....

The reason gibbs is so good this year is because the Toyota engines are built to run with about 80 extra horse power than dodge Chevy and ford motors and Gibbs is the only toyota owner with enough money to produce the results.. if all the Toyota teams had the same equipment that gibbs has than you would see a Toyota dominated series

Report Offensive Commentany attention is good attention, just go ask the 30 or so other drivers that probably got a courtesy cheer.

Report Offensive CommentI also hear the boo's and cheers. I've also had stuff thrown at me! Can you just imagine, me?

Report Offensive Commentrwillis24; I think it is a Toyota dominated series now,including the Nationwide and trucks. Gibbs hit the ground running just like Hendricks did last year with the COT.
LF Right you are, like they say " talk good or bad about me but make sure to spell my name right" There is no bad publicity.
JKINDELRAY | 05/11/08, 06:56 PM
Report Offensive CommentI think that the more people boo him and bad mouth him the harder he is going to try to win. So all of the haters are just adding fuel to his fire and setting him up to dominate the races. So you all are helping him rather than hurting him. NICE JOB!!

Report Offensive CommentJr. is smarter than his hillbilly fans. He compliments busch cause he knows he can't beat him. When JR finally wins a race you DNA sharing hillbillies can talk. Don't hold your breath.

Report Offensive CommentDALE JR = Overrated! It's so pathetic this Jr lovefest...what has he done? Nothing. So did NASCAR investigate Hendricks last year? No...so why investigate JGR? They have great drivers and now a car maker that gives them 100% backing. Tell me how that's not fair?

Report Offensive Commentyou know, i used to really dislike kurt busch, but i really dont mind him now, he grew up (the little **** kyle should take some notes).. i actually feel bad for him and mom, because they got booed out of the state of South Carolina because of their retarded brother/son.

Report Offensive CommentIf NASCAR wasn't completely involved with Toyotas sudden overwelming competitiveness, they would already have acted. There would have been changes mandated to the Toyota powerplant to slow it down, or concessions to Chevy to speed them up. NASCAR does not care about Ford or Dodge, but to have Toyota beat up on Chevy (the pet manufacturer of NASCAR) would be unacceptable.
