It seems you are looking for things to be offended by. Just my little ole opinion.
Little clue for you... it's ok to be offended by offensive things and Kyle Busch is the very definition of offensive. Take a look at the following quote from right here on Frontstretch:
http://www.frontstretch.com/ksmith/16793/
The very enigma that is Kyle Busch stirs conflict in the minds and hearts of motorsports journalists. Frankly, it seems almost a requirement to add a conjunctive qualifier when describing his persona in any way. He’s a great driver, BUT he has an immature attitude. He has his arrogant ways, BUT he can wheel a race car. More often than not, any observation of Kyle Busch includes both the positive and the negative from the author’s standpoint. It’s like a battery.
I recommend you go read the whole article. I'm not being small minded. My thoughts are mirrored greatly by the vast majority of people who know anything about NASCAR. Your snarky remark was not appreciated.

I seriously dislike that little punk, Kyle Busch...
But what really hurts is that I flat out refuse to pick him in the Nascar pool I'm in, and that's having a negative affect on my score every week
HA HA HA I know what ya mean I can not ever force myself to pick Jimmy Johnson either

Because he beats their less talented drivers

Personally, I dislike the way he talks, the way he walks, the way he smiles, the way he bows, the way he keeps his eyes open during pre race prayer, the way he disrespects others but most importantly I dislike how he drives. Other than that he's great.

I can understand the other stuff.... but this
Quote
most importantly I dislike how he drives
Gotta give the guy credit for being a great driver... if nothing else he can wheel a race car.
Hard to dislike a guy because he has talent.
I never liked Dale Sr... But I ALWAYS gave him credit for his talent
The more I watch... The more I see the 2008 CUP champion... Heck at the pace he's going he's gonna have a 70 point lead on the 2nd place guy when the chase STARTS... that'll be a big gap to overcome.

Calm down. I only posted that because when someone said they were offended by HMS, you posted this:

Blu, I'm glad you are up and around but you need some Valium or something, buddy. Relax. I think you take it a little far to question integrity. It doesn't even enter the equation. As was mentioned, The driver does what he is told. I didn't like Jimmie swinging all the way out to the grass, but everyone knows there is limited sight in these cars. Again, he does what he is told.
As a 24 fan, even I thought it was goofy that they were talking so much about Jeff in the early part of the show. It didn't make sense. It isn't Jeff's fault though. He had nothing to do with where the focus was. Maybe it's that Jeff is the second most popular driver and many of his fans are fairly recent. Being that it happened early in the race they were trying to get the fans to keep watching. Remember, it was on a holiday weekend and at night. Lots of folks who don't always watch NASCAR had their eyes on this race.
It seems you are looking for things to be offended by. Just my little ole opinion.
Goodness gracious. I wasn't trying to be mean. The wink smiley was in there for a reason.

Kyle Busch drove a fantastic race at Daytona. There, I said it. Kyle does a very good job and drives very clean... sometimes. Then there are the times like last week when he expected JPM to just pull over and let him past. Did it teach him anything when JPM paid him back? Who knows?
Yeah, you gotta have the attitude that you can get it done in order to get it done, but you should not have the attitude that it is owed you. Nobody designated Kyle Busch the King of NASCAR. We already have one and we call him Richard Petty.
Yeah, he may be this seasons champion. Looks like it will be tough to keep that from happening. He may earn that but respect is earned too and he's not doing a good job of that. Look, it is my religion to give people a chance. I'd love to not have this attitude about him but Kyle acts like he enjoys being a jackass. I know Jeff said Kyle does not enjoy this role but it sure seems like he could do a lot of things differently if that was true.
I'm not perfect... ok, I'm not near perfect.. but even at 23 I knew enough to show respect to others. I had what we used to call manners. Maybe manners are no longer in vogue and I'm a fuddy duddy. I don't really care if I'm out of step here. I'd like to not dislike this guy. Again, he makes that very difficult.
PS, Fathead... I was joking with ole Blu. I guess you didn't know that. He and I have gone back and forth about HMS for a couple years now.

Man-0-MaN!
Love Kyle or hate him?
Is ANYone in the middle?
And they say Kyle doesn't remind them of
Dale Earnhardt in the #3?
Keeping in mind that NASCAR is no longer a sport,
but rather "entertainment" -- I think Kyle's antics fit right into
"Big Business".
And, as an added bonus, he has the ability to back up what he says.
It wouldn't surprise me, and in fact I predict, that Kyle Busch will be this
year's champion.
Considering his age, I don't doubt there will be a few more in his career after that.
Just about every race, Kyle delivers what the fans say they want ---
good racin'.
He starts on poles,
He starts from the rear and goes to the front ---
and finishes there -- if not taking himself out, or other drivers doin' it for him.
Rubbin' is Racin' --- they say.
And it appears Kyle has taken "Rubbin'" to another level.
Although, it seems some of that rubbin' is going the wrong way, in some folk's opinion.
That right thar is what makes NASCAR racin' so cool, ..... IMO.
And that right thar IS "diversity".
Shux Howdy!
It's been there all along!
Imagine that.
Except for the morons throwing carp on the tracks --- I appreciate'cha one and all.
Factoid -----
When Kyle first came on the scene and we began to be exposed to his personality,
I wasn't all that favorably impressed. But when the two Busch bros crashed each other
during a race, Kyle caught my attention.
Once I got over the initial impression, I find him witty, outspoken, able and capable of
backing his claims.
What was it Walter Brennen used to say in his TV show
The Sons Of Will Garret
I forget.
But I remember that he said
"No brag --- Just fact".
It's twue!
It's twue!
Now, ................... it's not my intent to upset any Dale Earnhardt fans who may not share my opinion,
And after careful thought ---- I've decided,
OH So WHaT!
Kyle reminds this long-time, old timer NASCAR fan of the late, great
Dale Earnhardt.
There!
I've gone and said it!
Ahhhhhhhh
I feel SOoo much better now.

(Skool with the Mod hat on)
Ok, now that we have cleared up the mis-understanding that everyone (involved) was kidding....
(Skool with the fan hat on)
I don't like Kyle Busch because of his arrogant personality. Has nothing to do with his driving ability. Has nothing to do with his fame and fortune. I never liked his big brother either, long before Kyle came on the scene. I am liking Kurt a lot better now though, as he has matured over the years AND that his little brother has shown he can be an even bigger ass than Kurt. That and he is goofy looking. You can be arrogant and average/good looking, and I will still not like you. You can arrogant AND goofy looking, and I REALLY REALLY won't like you.
If the Busch's were my next door neighbors and not rich and famous, but had the same arrogance they do now. I would tolerate them. Not be their friends.
