NASCAR to meet with Kyle Busch Saturday morning: UPDATE - Busch parked: Tempers flared early in Friday night's truck race at Texas Motor Speedway. As they ran three-wide early in Friday's race, Ron Hornaday moved up the track, causing Kyle Busch, running on the outside, to hit the wall. Hornaday also hit it. As they slowly went around the track, Busch ran up on the rear of Hornaday and caused Hornaday to smack the wall head-on in what was hard contact. Hornaday was uninjured. NASCAR called Busch to the hauler to meet with officials after the race. NASCAR met with Kyle Busch for less than five minutes on Friday night after the race. They will meet with Busch before Saturday morning's Cup practice (which is at 8:45am/et) to discuss the incident. Hornaday went to the NASCAR hauler (he wasn't called there by officials) after Kyle left and said: "If NASCAR doesn't (park Busch), I'm hanging around, and I'm going to buy Tommy Baldwin's ride and that guy will never finish another race. That's a promise. He's got to be parked. They did it to Harvick at Martinsville.'' Hornaday was reminded that the Harvick parking was in 2002, which Hornday said: "So, let's have at it? So I can go over and beat his ass and let's have at it? He lives too close to me. We'll see what NASCAR does. If they don't handle it right, I'll be over at his house Monday morning.''(Virginian-Pilot)(11-5-2011)
UPDATE: NASCAR announced that they have parked Kyle Busch for the remainder of the weekend. He will not be allowed to participate in the Nationwide or Cup races at Texas. He will be replaced in the Cup race by Michael McDowell and by Denny Hamlin in the Nationwide race. Further penalties against Busch could be announced early in the week.(11-5-2011)

Let's see what Joe Gibbs does. I'm sure the sponsors will be all over his ass about Shrub.

i watched that race last night, while i`m all for rubbin is racing that wasnt even remotely fair. taking a guy out of a championship run should draw a bigger penalty.

Great publicity for NASCAR and it adds to Busch's bad boy image. The fans want a guy they love to hate. Though, I gotta agree Busch is an A-hole.

Adds to his image, but not sure it's as a "bad boy", more like a "little boy playing a man's game".

After seeing the race and what he did, it appears he cannot or will not control his temper.I believe this endangers all those who compete with him and that he should be permanantly banned from NASCAR compettion......But thats just me......

I agree, intentionally hooking some one into the wall at 130 MPH under yellow is inexcusable. He is going to get a driver killed some day.

Busch is gonna piss off the wrong person eventually and get his ass whipped and not just a black eye. Hopefully, it will be sooner than later.

At what point can It be considered assault, and perhaps see criminal charges brought?

I think Ron would have a legitimate case, especially with the recent deaths in the sport.

A 1 weekend suspension is too light. The rest of the season and required anger management classes would be more appropriate. I would not want to be on the track with someone like that.
