Reports say that they let him off the DUI charge because "the machine was broken".
Never seen that happen before, we always switched to the spare, transported to another facility with a functioning unit, or had the hospital take blood.
With the exception of Carl Edwards, these "Young Guns" don't impress me. I long for the days of Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, the Allison brothers, Junior Johnson. I even remember when the young guns were Dale, Darryl, and Rusty, though I didn't like them that much back then either. I did like Bill Elliott when he was starting out. This year, I have been rooting for Mark Martin and Rusty.
Remember when some of the race car parts could actually be found on a street car?

Kurt Busch was suspended for the remaining two races of the season by Roush Racing.
The car he drove has two major sponsors, Newell Rubbermaid and Diago. Diago owns some big name alcohol brands and must have been sensitive to reputation because the sponsors had a hand in the suspension.
Yes I remember when stock cars actually had real stock parts on them, weighed three times as much as they do now and were driven by junkyard dog tough drivers. Boy do I miss the good old days.
I sure hope Kurt looks good in Maricopa County Pink.

sorta like the Monte Carlo with the 350 V8, manual transmission and rear wheel drive like i can't buy at the local dealership...? what passes for a stock car these days has more in common with a Daytona prototype than a car you park outside your house...

Exactly, even the configuration is unavailable.
The "stock" car parts are all specialized, from the chassis, to the sheet metal body panels, to the engines, to the trannys, to the rear ends. Nothing on that car will fit a street model, to include the fake headlight decals.
