It's not very often that you can talk about a NASCAR driver being suspended for an entire racing weekend. Particularly if it is a well-known Sprint Cup Competitor who is a part of the vaunted "Chase for the Cup".
That is exactly what NASCAR has decided to do with the oft troubled Kyle Busch after Busch deliberately wrecked driver Ron Hornaday during Friday nights Craftsman Truck race.

Busch, who qualified 2nd in Saturday's Nationwide race and 17th in Sunday's Sprint Cup race, will serve what NASCAR calls an "Unprecedented" suspension.
Michael McDowell will drive Busch's car for the Sprint Race, Joe Gibbs Racing will pick a driver to race on Saturday.
Quite honestly, this move is somewhat overdue and will just further enhance Busch's "Bad-Boy" image. We don't necessarily think this is just a "Meanstreak" as much as it is an "Anger-Management" issue.
You might also remember Busch got in some trouble and had his drivers license suspended in North Carolina after being pulled over for driving 125 in a 45 mph zone.
