Joe Gibbs told Sirius NASCAR Radios Sirius Speedway with Dave Moody that he has spoken with Kyle Busch about the profanity laced tirade at Texas Motor Speedway that resulted in Busch being fined $25,000 and placed on NASCAR probation for the remainder of 2010. ‘(Kyle) gets so uptight that every now and then, he makes mistakes,’ said Gibbs. ‘Weve got to do everything we can here ‘ inside Joe Gibbs Racing ‘ to make sure that doesnt happen. Thats what were totally focused on. Weve got a plan laid out, and Kyle has agreed to do the things he needs to do’¦ to ensure that we dont put ourselves in that position again. We think hes a huge talent; a smart, bright guy that we enjoy being around. His whole life is Sam (his fiancÃÂée)’¦ and racing. There are no issues with him running around drinking or anything. He doesnt care about any of that. Hes totally focused, and all he wants to do is race cars. (Unfortunately) he gets so wound up at the race track that its hard for him to handle some of the things he needs to handle. We love his competitive nature, but he just needs to learn to handle things better.’ Gibbs declined to speak specifically on what discussions have been had, or what guidelines have been put in place regarding Buschs future behavior. He stressed, however, that all parties agree that incidents like his recent outburst at Texas Motor Speedway cannot continue to occur. ‘(It) was not good for us at Joe Gibbs Racing, and it certainly wasnt good for our sponsor,’ he said. ‘We feel like there was a plan that we had to put out there, to assure that this doesnt happen again. Were going to keep that in-house, but its something that we think is smart, and Kyle does too. He realizes where he is, and thats a great part of this. We just have to make sure it doesnt happen again.’Â(Sirius Speedway)(11-17-2010)
