Can Kurt Busch Get Anything Right?

The order and placement of words is important after all, not that NASCAR's resident genius Kurt Busch would know, of course.

After his mutual release from Penske Racing and decision to see a sports psychologist, Kurt Busch said "I never want to take for granted that it's a privilege to earn a living as a NASCAR driver."

Hmm. I'd think he WOULD want to take it for granted that it's a privilege to make a living driving race cars. Looks like the elder Busch bro got a little mixed up in a pseudo-double-negative type of situation. What he said is the equivalent of "I want to take for granted that it's my right to earn a living as a NASCAR driver." Oops.

Tony Stewart gets call from President ... and is worried about reception aboard Air Force One!

Speaking on Day 3 of NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series Champion’s Week in Las Vegas, Tony Stewart had this to say on a call he received from Mr. Obama.

“It is a huge honor to get a call from the President of the United States,” Stewart said. “I was more nervous that I wasn’t going to be able to hear on the phone very well, being from Air Force One, but they got great service up there. He just congratulated us on a great season. … The First Lady was giving him updates from the track, so I was really proud that he was following our sport and cared enough to call yesterday.”
