As much as a condescending a-hole as he can be, whomever they replace him with in the short term will be a lesser driver on the track. I always took any Penske team as being competitive and not just there to appease sponsors. I don't consider his behavior tolerable and I can see why they did it. Because off track conduct is such a big thing with that team as well.
Isn't the reason so many people dislike "swell, good-guy" Jimmie Johnson because of the robot like sound bytes?
David Ragan is in cup for one reason and one reason only, his Daddy. Reutimann has that "my daddy has been driving modifieds for the last 150 years", support as well.
I'm not a fan of all four of the guys I have brought up. But doesn't anyone like drivers who have a chance of succeeding on the track anymore?
I'm sure Busch would have a better chance in succeeding in Pro Stock NHRA then most of the cup drivers today have of ever winning a cup race. He's still had a better career then most ever will.
