In the Nationwide race on Saturday, Justin Algier and Kurt Busch bumped fenders a few times. Kurt wasn't happy after the race but answered questions respectfully.......until one reporter (Bob Pockrass) asked him a question about whether or not Kurt being on probation affected the way he raced Algier during the race. Watch the video.
Since then, Tony Stewart has said that what Kurt said is right. That Bob Pockrass does nothing but try to "stir the pot" with his type of questioning. If you're interested, you can see the article and Tony's comments here.
Agree or disagree? Do you think it's a reporters job to bring you the story, no matter the circumstance?
Now, before you answer that, what if it was a family member laying on the side of a road, that's been in a wreck? Different circumstance?
Me? I really don't know. If it was a family member and I saw a picture or read the story, I would be hurt/mad/sad. On the other hand, I don't have access to a NASCAR driver and I want the WHOLE story, not just one side or the other.

Kurt Busch is a mixed bag. He's a great driver, but his head is all screwed up. Knowing that and his history with reporters Pockrass went in there with an agenda and got what he wanted, a Busch blowup.
Kurt has to learn to give a PC cliche answer and just walk away. He's down to his last strike career wise.
I guess I'm missing what the big "ooohh!" is....the reporter shot something out there & the driver shot it back. Meh.
