But just where will Busch go?
Its not as if we didn't expect to be asking that question this off-season, except most of you probably expected it would be Kyle Busch looking for a job. However, after Kurt's tirade at the season ending race at Homestead, he will be looking for his third Sprint Cup ride.
Busch entered the Sprint Cup Series for 7 races in 2000 in the #97 Roush Ford. After winning a Sprint Cup Championship in 2004, Busch's relationships at Roush Fenway Racing became strained. He then exited after 2005 to drive for Roger Penske, taking over the driving responsibilities for the blue #2 from retiring driver, Rusty Wallace.
After 10 wins and many ups and downs, the aggravation felt by Busch finally came to a head in a tirade focust at Dr. Jerry Punch, TV racing commentator/analyst, simply for having to wait for the live feed for his interview.
Now that he is without a ride, Busch may find it difficult to find a job with a top tier team. All of the seats at Hendrick are currently filled. Although there is a seat open at Roush Fenway Racing, they are without a sponsor, and due to old issues that move would be highly unlikely. RCR has an open seat, but it is only open for part of the year, with Childress running his grandson, Austin Dillon, for a small schedule. That leaves JGR, SHR, and EGR.
Joe Gibbs has his hands full with the refitting of his three teams that did not have a good 2011, so they would be unlikely to add another possible headache. Stewart Haas is has a full time slot and a part time slot, but without a solid sponsor would likely shy away from starting a fourth team while they are preparing to run a limited schedule with Danica Patrick in 2012. And EGR, coming off one of their worst seasons as an organization, would have trouble getting another large sponsor without some recent success.
Start his own team or buy into a small organization? Race into obscurity with a "go or go home" team? I have no idea on this one. I can definitely guarantee one thing is certain: Kurt Busch could really use a Miller Lite about now.

A thug like Kurt Busch don't need a job driving in NASCAR. He's the lowest form of humanity, and it's so funny that he is trying to convince us all that they "mutually agreed" to part ways. He must think we fans are nuts. The bottom line is he was fired!
I only wish that Joe Gibbs had some backbone like Penske does, and maybe if he did, NASCAR would be rid of these 2 Busch thugs.
A thug? Really? Do you know what a thug is? Its not Kurt Busch. I suggest you schedule an appointment with your doctor and get a CAT scan becuase something is wrong with your head.
Yes you are correct that Curse and Kryle are not thugs. Thugs at least have the courage to hit someone while they are looking whereas the Buschleague boys are masters of the sucker punch. Y&es, thug is too good a word to refer to those lowlifes, in fact I lean more towards words like sleazebag or perhaps cowardly punk when discuyssing the Buschleague boys. Speaking of CAT scans you need not bother since I can tell that without a doubt your head is as empty and devoid of brain matter as the Buschleague boys are devoid of class and intelligence.
