Monster Energy Drink is getting their money’s worth out of Kurt Busch in their first season as a NASCAR Nationwide Series sponsor. He’s been in the headlines for all kinds of stuff like the shoving match hissy fit that has him on probation with NASCAR currently and they almost scored a jackpot this past weekend when Busch was interviewed after the Nationwide race and told a reporter than the only thing keeping him from “beating the shit” out of the interviewer was his current suspension. His definition of “beating the shit” out of someone may be a little off though as we have only seen him shove people and yell mean things at them. That doesn’t really qualify where we come from.
Busch was being interviewed by Sporting News reporter Bob Pockrass when he piped up. Prockrass asked him about a tangle he had with competitor Justin Allgaier during the race and the conversation that the two guys had afterwards on pit row. Prockrass asked Busch if he has to race differently because he is on probation and if that probation forces him to make different decisions or act differently. That’s a pretty valid racing question in our book, but Kurt wasn’t having it. Press play below to see him respond.

How do assholes like this get elevated to superhero status? I guess I need to blame the fools that idolize and follow NASCAR. What a bunch of idiots.
Ok…I don’t remember anyone blaming football fans for Micheal Vick’s convictions a few years ago. That being said, Busch has always been a hot head, and I have never been a fan of him or his brother.
Did anyone expect anything different from the “born with a silverspoon in his mouth driver”?Absolutely NO CLASS as a driver at this level. Yes he is a decent driver even though he and even less class kyle b usually just force their way through. Not sure what class looks like? See Jeff Burton, Mark Martin,Jeff Gordon, Dale Jarret, Ned Jarret, just to name a few… Grow some balls kurt puss. Man up and show some respect, you might have to look that up too.The money you have made and gotten tossed out of rides just because of your mouth! Just sayin.
You left out the driver with the most talent the most respectable driver on the track—Awesome Bill—he honestly earned his nickname.
Reporters ask Stupid questions all of the time. Way to Go Kurt !
No “free speech” in NASCAR (especially when you’re on their . . . LIST).
Monster ought to pay’em a bonus for all of the extra exposure and “color” that this is generating.
