David Reutimann has been hired by the No. 51 team to take the place of Kurt Busch this weekend during the Sprint Cup Race at Pocono while Kurt sits out the weekend to think about his verbal attack skills.
But wait, doesn't David Reutimann keep Danica's seat warm when she's not driving the No. 10 car???
Yes, usually, he does. But for this weekend at Pocono, Tommy Baldwin said he wanted to help out another small team, so he let Reutimann drive the No. 51 car and he'll be letting Dave Blaney keep Danica's seat warm. Though, as pointed out, Blaney's car is not sponsored and they're not sure if it will run the distance.
On Kurt's Shaky Ground
As far as team owner (No. 51) James Finch and Kurt Busch are now concerned, it's been said that any future associations they will have is now going to be on a race-by-race basis.
Good job Kurt.
Kurt's getting good at getting fired these days, and I have to admit, though we've seen Kurt at his worse a few times, I was starting to think that it's just a moment here and there.
But these few moments of anger and lashing out that the public has become aware of, apparently are not his only fits of "rage."
On SIRIUS XM this morning, I was listening to the morning drive and they were addressing how Kurt has had his repeated "fits" with media over the last year and that these two instances are not his only altercations.
I was rather shocked to hear this laundry list of issues or altercations or what ever you might call them, as they were presented. As one reader a while back once said, both Busch brothers seem to have this particular "frustration" gene and they had to get/learn it from somewhere.
Whatever the case, if Kurt's not careful, he might be looking at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series from the outside.
Now as far as his sponsor in the Nationwide Series, Monster Energy likes edgey. One or two moments in the spotlight might go over to some degree. But edgy or not, a business/corporation is that Monster Energy is. At some point, if this continues, I would not be surprised if they step in and change things up. They stepped up to back Kyle, but Kyle has toned it down. Kurt, has not.
We'll see!
