At least we will have a new NASCAR Cup Champion in 2 weeks

So, old Big Ears current NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion, Kurt Busch, "was detained on suspicion of drunken driving and cited for reckless driving"

Fans already don't like you Kurt, you think this is going to help any? Hey- were you drinking Budweiser or Coors? Next time, get your limo driver to take you around town. Or use your ears to fly.

"the deputy smelled alcohol on Busch, but the driver refused to perform standard field sobriety tests. Busch did submit to a field breath alcohol test, disclosing the presence of alcohol."

"The deputy drove Busch to the raceway, where a sheriff's facility is located, to administer another breath test but the machine there failed. The deputy then decided to cite Busch for reckless driving and he was released, Chagolla said."

"Busch was spotted driving about 60 mph in a 45 mph zone, Chagolla said. A deputy tried to pull Busch over but there was some delay, Chagolla said. When he did stop, Busch was argumentative and uncooperative, Chagolla said. The deputy then called for a supervisor. "

"This is Maricopa County and our streets are not to be used as raceways," sheriff Joe Arpaio said. "He ought to confine his speeding to the racetrack. And I don't like anybody being abusive to my deputies -- I don't care who they are."

Now, one of the sponsors that Busch was currently driving for was Crown Royal and their "Drink Responsibly" campaign. Next year, Kurt will be driving the Miller car, vacated by the retiring Rusty Wallace. Hmmmm.....I wonder how the sponsors are going to feel about this. Or if anything will happen at all. Already Jack Roush, owner of Roush Racing, whom Kurt currently drives for has washed his hands of it because Kurt is driving for Roger Penske next season.

Surprisingly, "NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said: "It's a traffic ticket as far as we know.""

So, no one is going to do anything? Only time will tell.......
