A Shrub That Needs to Be Trimmed

I don't like Kyle Busch and after his Axl Rose like thrashing of the Nashville Guitar he won after winning the Nationwide Federated 300 Saturday night, now I hate Kyle.

I hate Kyle because he doesn't respect racing, NASCAR, or anything else it seems.

I haven't been fortunate in my life to win a lot of trophies or awards and which few honors that have bestowed on me, I have treasured them like gold.

Kyle Petty put it best on yesterday's Sprint Cup Pocono pre-race coverage when he said, "I had a house burn down and lost some of my early trophies, and I don't like to see people tear up trophies." Kyle Petty is also an avid guitar guy so I know he hated to see a Sam Bass designed guitar get beat in the ground like a stake used for throwing horseshoes.

There are a bunch of guys in NASCAR who would love to get their hands on that guitar (and not beat it like a drum), for it has meaning, not just as a win, but the special symbol that winning in Nashville symbolizes.

You don't see guys kicking over grandfather clocks or damaging other unique NASCAR trophies.

I don't care if he did promise his crew each would get a piece of the guitar. If that's the case, spend the money and have Sam Bass make one for each crew member.

We have to make sure with all the changes NASCAR is going through that we don't leave respect, honor, integrity, and being a gentleman in the rear view mirror.

Racing is more than just about winning races at any cost. It's how you win. Someone should let Shrub aka Rowdy aka Nascar's most hated driver know that.

Otherwise someone may come along and and take a guitar and hit him in the head.
