Anyone else getting tired of it?

After the NNS race more of the same from Kyle Busch. "I guess we come to these races to finish 2nd." No acknowledgment for his crew, his sponsors, the fans, or the winner. Do you think his attitude is hindering his success? Do you think he's a poor sport? Will he ever grow up?

Update:

Hey Too Late...Thanks for the laugh! Twisted minds think alike. Wonder how long it will be til I get reported or my question is deleted. I wonder even more if I care. Muahahahahahahaha. Peace y'all.

Update 2:

Yes I'm a Jr fan...But I have defended Kyle on more than one occasion. I have also criticized Jr more than once. Probably more harshly than anyone In Jr Nation is comfortable with. It is what it is. No matter who it is. Tough love. But if calling me a "hater" helps one justify one's unwillingness to see reality then so be it. This is, after all, the USA. Free speach rocks! And denial is not a crime. Peace y'all.

    Yes, very tired of it. But, he is one smart kid. Whether you like him or hate him, he does get our attention. His attitude keeps his name out there all the time. It is all publicity.

    Go Jr.>>>>

    I'm much more tired of this. Look, the man races to win. Could he be a little less depressed over second? Sure, and he's working on it. Still, he was taught to win, and anything else makes him feel like a big disappointment to everyone. I find it refreshing to see someone who isn't just points-racing and really tries to put on a show for the crowd. I think that the string of seconds is harming him, though. He really takes the saying "second place is the first loser" to heart. I don't know that everyone congratulates the winner. Given his temperament, the best thing Kyle can probably do is get away from the other drivers, though. If "growing up" would cause him to get robotic like the others, I hope he never does.

    The real Kyle Busch is coming out. He's fine as long as Toyota has an advantage but since the other teams have caught up then Kyle is self destructing. I predict Kyle will never win a championship because he is too childish. He's only been doing good because Toyota had the new engines and smaller front openings which gave the Toyota cars more down force. Now that the other teams have caught up then Kyle's true talents have shown... slowly fading in the chase. Anybody can drive aggressive as long as NASCAR allows it. NASCAR would park anybody else for driving aggressive like Kyle. Look at how they did Kevin Harvick. Kyle Busch is NOT the next Dale Earnhardt.

    There are some three hundred million people in this country, and I would bet that out of that number, there are at least ten thousand out there, that are better than all forty three drivers in a Cup race, but never got the chance to show it, and never will..

    I have no patience for what I consider an ungrateful brat, who treats drivers, crews (including his own), and fans (that's me), like he's somehow better than all of them.. The guy had one good season, and it didn't even win him a title.. The broadcasters, and media have to say good things about him.. It's their job to generate interest in the sport.. Too bad Kyle talk, is the best they can do..

    Kyle, you should have sounded grateful to have finished second behind Brad.. He's a much better driver than you are..

    Edit: Not a word about his sponsor (I'm sure they were happy to hear they sponsor a loser), his crew, the Gibbs organization..

    The Mars Corp, is a very old, and conservative company.. I doubt they will put up with him for much longer.. I don't think that people who scare off major sponsors, have much of a future in the sport, and anyone who disagrees with that, is dreaming..

    And if he's so damn good, why has he fallen out of the top twelve?? Why does he run into walls, and other cars?? The answer is right in front of everyone..

    And why do so many of you believe the idiots on the tube, who also told you Joey Lagono was so good, when he couldn't even finish on the lead lap?? Not once??

    The kid needs to grow up you're right but let's not forget that it has only been 2 weeks since he started trying to work on these issues.He is a very good driver no doubt about it,much better than the 22nd place driver especially. A guy that calls himself Happy Gilmore is sick of Kyle,huh? Are you serious?

    You know, I kinda have to agree with some of the Kyle fans on this one. Their right: When Kyle doesn't give an interview, we complain, and when he does, we still complain, so it's like we can't make up our minds. I'm still not a KB fan, but I'll at least try not to make such a big deal over his faults as best I can.

    Kyle Busch is an amazing driver. There is no doubt about it. His attitude doesn't hinder success, because, let's face it, he's one of the most successful drivers in the sport.

    His attitude hinders people actually caring. If Kyle wins, I literally just turn the TV off. I have no desire to hear him speak...ever.

    Kyle Busch needs to thank his crew for doing a good job for him he is a big cry baby stop whining . Brad is a good driver the better man won he had a good car.

    I think it's worse now I mean just a couple of days ago he got on tv and said he was going to be more of a team player and more of a leader and all that and then he just gets caught up in the moment dosen't think about what he's saying, and then he makes himself look even worse than before. Oh and it's speech

    If I had 9 straight top 2 finishes I would be jumping up and down with joy. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with 2nd place when you are in the middle the season and you are racing for a championship?
