Charges have been dropped, but NASCAR still has the suspension in place. What possible justification is there? This situation is wrong on many levels. I'm not sorry I quit being a fan several years ago......
well, um.. as seen as that was HIS BROTHER. KYLE.. Kurt is no angel.. but most of the stunts that got him in hot water with nascar
Well, um, NO. Heres a line from Wiki about Kurt
" Kurt Busch has also driven for Furniture Row Racing, Phoenix Racing, Penske Racing, and Roush Racing in his Sprint Cup career, which began in 2000. His Sprint Cup career has included a history of arguments, fights with other drivers, profanity-laced tirades, and legal problems that has resulted in suspensions on three different occasions "
His actual police records are not available to me. Yes Kyle pulls the same crap too.
I can honestly say I've never been drunk or high while driving. I was going to say never, but does surgery count?
yes, because they tell you before hand,, and I've never driven drunk either but I'll bet, I would not have passed the breath test.. a few times in my 20's..

Ok, Ill change that asshat. Ive never been drunk or high in my life and never gotten a DUI. Pretty sure you have to be drinking or taking drugs to get a DUI on this planet. Some people who cant handle alcohol can be DUI with 1 beer or glass of wine. DUI MEANS your under the influence of one or the other and your operating a motor vehicle illegally.

that's not what I asked/said.. I said most here just didn't haven't got caught.. You've never had a drink ,EVER.. let me cue up that atom ant song.... don't drink, don't smoke ,what do you do.. oh,, and DUI means some standard the government made that they use to rate " THEY think" you are under the influence.. many are not safe to drive way under that "standard" and others are fine well past it,,, but that doesn't matter.. blow over their standard and boom DUI... It's been proven that you can fail the test after taking nightquil...

Whether or not you like the way they test it, its still the law. If you test whatever they say, or drive in a way that they stop you and test you, your guilty. Whether its a blood test, walking a line, or touching your nose. If you fail, your DUI. I do occasionaly have A beer in a social setting and I milk that one for a few hours. I also dont take even any prescription meds or over the counter ones... and rarely even an aspirin.
Kurts been arrested several times for it. So if what you say is true about getting away with it, wonder how many times he drove and got away with it. More than the average drunk/druggie Ill guess.

Back in my drinking days you could get away with it. That was in the middle of the Viet Nam war and there weren't that many 19yr old males around. And the cops figured you'd be dead in a year anyway.

You may have misunderstood. I meant is was going to say never drunk. I'm not sure what they give you while in surgery, but that could qualify. I've never driven in while under the influence. I drove several miles and nearly passed out from lack of blood. I've driven while sleepy. Those are at least as bad.
I've heard that you should always refuse a field sobriety test, because you WILL fail, sober though you may be.

people around here have gotten DUI'S from unlocking their car and getting in the back seat and sleeping it off.. yes you can get charged with a dui if you are sleeping it off, and have the ign.key within reach..
I know that here too. You also have to have your seatbelt buckled if the keys are in it and your sitting in the front seats according to Columbus cops. I got hassled about it when I was parked in a mall parking lot waiting for someone.
I think that Kurt will be back racing before Kyle:

NASCAR Statement: "NASCAR is aware of the Delaware Department of Justice announcement today regarding driver Kurt Busch. As we disclosed Monday, he has accepted the terms and conditions of a reinstatement program and is actively participating in the program. Kurt Busch's eligibility for reinstatement will continue to be governed by that program and the NASCAR Rule Book, though the elimination of the possibility of criminal charges certainly removes a significant impediment to his reinstatement."(NASCAR)(3-5-2015)
I guess he could get a restraining order on her too and that would take care of it. The way I understand the cup series now is you HAVE to either be in the top 12 (or whatever this year) to enter the chase, or have a win. Theyve pretty much said 3 really bad finishes can wipe out any points chance and you better get a win if you want in. Gordons getting close to not even making the chase...but he probably will get a win.

With this years/weeks rule change it said you had to start every race to be eligible to be in the chase. That was the rule they waived for him, now would they waive that for Vickers, and Kyle?
I think ive seen that they will waive that requirement if races are due to medical/ injury reasons. They already said Kyle would still be eligible IF he gets enough points or a win.
AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kurt Busch, buoyed by a warm reception from his race team, was finally back in a car Friday preparing for his first race of the season.
There was very little rust: He advanced into the final round of qualifying and will start eighth in Sunday's race at Phoenix International Raceway.

No, Kurt it was nascar that caused him to miss races.. Kyle and Vickers, it wasn't
