yeah I bet Mars candy is boo hooing all the way to the bank. If I were them I would be extending  the contract.

Fortunately, I will still consume  W&Ws.   They taste almost the same.

Ask Home Depot.   They got on Tony didn't they?  And you can take the "your crazy" avatar and stick it Squarehead.

Yeah, what am I thinking.  Sponsors never try to control what the drivers say or do.   Especially when they are universally loved like Kyle is.

Also depends on the target market they're trying to reach....maybe the controversy will build some sales.

I won't put my two cents in here on how I feel about Kyle Busch(I think you all know).   s6.gif image by chivas333

It doesn't bother me that fans boo a driver.  What bothered me about the driver intro's today was that they had their MOTHERS walking with them across the stage. 

THAT is what bothered me.  I think the fans should have been a bit more tame tonight for that reason.
Perhaps Kyle's Mother actually deserves the boos as much as her two sons deserve them, because as their mother, she has something to do with the way her kids turned out.... and neither one of them is any prize in his personal conduct.
