Liar, Liar Pants on Fire...or Hendrick and Kyle Busch

Kyle Bush is nothing if not frank. Asked if he was aware that he had been ousted at Rick Hendrick Racing (RHR), he said that he only became aware after the big press conference hooha about Dale Junior coming over to RHR.

“Well, you know, this is all brand new,” said Busch. “I hadn’t talked or discussed or done anything with any other team. There had been a rumor that flew around that I was unhappy at Hendrick Motorsports, which was untrue. I was just frustrated with the way things were going, that I wasn’ able to get results. We had been running good and been fast everywhere, but we just had some bad luck and were crashing, and whatever. “That rumor started, and then after that rumor, it was that I was getting offers from other teams, which, I had never talked to anybody.” Busch said he hadn’t been given any indication that he wouldn’t be back at Hendrick until Monday."

Rick Hendrick can't even lie well....

June 13 -- A Day That Will Live in Infamy

Dale Jr. driving for Rick Hendrick, the convicted felon. Who said there was 'no room at the inn' 4 weeks ago. Convicted felon, convicted liar. Way to go, Jr. Someone has pulled the wool over your eyes, that's for sure. Does Jr. really think he'll get the equipment Gordon and Johnson get?
Does Jr. really think his fans will follow en masse? Oh, the newer ones who have no idea about the history of the sport, nor the history of Rick Hendrick will. Those of us who've been around for 20 or 30 years or so have a lot more knowledge about the way that outfit got started and operates. Maybe Jimmy Spencer had more insight about Kelley Elledge than we gave him credit for. Obviously she is not in tune with the fans and the timbre of the sport.

What a colossal shame. Knowing Dale Sr., he is certainly NOT smiling down on this one.

Wonder How Come...(In No Particular Order)

...they call it the Car of Tomarrow? It was the Car of Tomarrow last year. What are they going to call it when Tomarrow gets here? The Car of Yesterday?

...DEI engines were the only ones to blow up at California. Supposably it has to do with the change to unleaded fuel... ??? Seems like ever since Richie Gilmore came to DEI, their restrictor plate program has gone downhill, while Hendrick Racing (from whence he came) has improved dramatically...Can you say "fox in the henhouse?"

...it's taking so long for Dale Jr. and Richard Childress to team up. That's what most of Dale Jr.'s fans are waiting for.

...Steven Wallace can even see to drive, since he blinks about about 200 times a minute?

...Mark Martin can drive a Chevy in the Cup Series and Fords in the other series? What happened to brand loyalty?

...no one is stepping up to sponser the IROC Series? That's a damned shame that no one will step up to the plate and back it. Of course, it's the most neutral racing series in stock car--NASCAR doesn't have their claws in this one too much.

...NASCAR doesn't admit they blew it and give a race back to Rockingham?
