Official from M&M Mars: Mars, Incorporated announced today that they will be removing Kyle Busch from driving the M&M’S® car for the remaining two races of the 2011 NASCAR season as a result of the incident during last Friday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. The car will not run with the M&M’S® paint scheme until 2012, at which time Kyle Busch will be the driver with the expectation that no future incident take place.

Man, give it a rest. In motorsports, accidents happen nearly every race. These incidents aren't malicious or on purpose. This is why they're called accidents. Imagine how few cars would be running at the end of a race if everyone behaved like Kyle Busch did when the caution came out.
As a car owner, how would you like it if someone destroyed your car if it caused an accident? I find it mind boggling considering your expirence with racing, that you are so dismissive of his accident.
Also, im sure Gibbs isn't thrilled that the M&Ms sponsorship is being pulled for the final few races. The team is going to be losing money, and I can't imagine that they're going to be happy with Kyle. Im interested to see the ramifications of this as it pertains to his status as one of Gibbs primary driver... Posted via Mobile Device

He's being suspended by one of his biggest sponsors, until next year. This is no minor thing. In these guys world, he's one more incident away from one of the worst things that can happen to you, taking place.

A man is about as big as the things that make him angry.

I'm pretty certain you can count on Kyle Busch being in no future incidents.
I eat an awful lot of M&Ms and all this is forcing me to consider switching to peanut clusters.
According to espn ovalmeister is correct....I also seen that z-line which is his nationwide sponsor asked to have Denny Hamlin in the car and not kyle..maybe he'll think again before making another stupid decision Posted via Mobile Device

That's a good sponsor for the car, since everybody seems to be CHARGED up about this KB incident.
