We’re glad to see that M&M’s won’t put up with such deplorable behavior!
Earlier this month, NASCAR racer Kyle Busch “purposefully wrecked” Ron Hornaday Jr. during a Truck Series race at Texas.
As a result, Busch was fined $50,000, he was put on probation for the rest of the season, AND M&M’s will no longer sponsor him.
Here’s what Mars Chocolate North America chief consumer Debra A. Sandler had to say about it:
“Kyle├óΓé¼Γäós recent actions are unacceptable and do not reflect the values of Mars. While we do not condone Kyle├óΓé¼Γäós recent actions, we do believe that he has shown remorse and has expressed a desire to change. We believe our decision will have a positive impact on Kyle and will help him return next season ready to win.”
“The car will not run with the M&M├óΓé¼Γäós paint scheme until 2012, at which time Kyle Busch will be the driver with the expectation that no future incident take place.”
We definitely think Mars/M&M’s is making the right move here. Actions have consequences.
Let’s hope Kyle learns his lesson!
