Busch Brothers Both Out of NASCAR Indefinitely

For the first time since 2001, there will not be a Busch taking the green flag at the start of the Daytona 500, NASCAR's premiere and season opening race.

Earlier this week, older brother Kurt Busch, driver of the #41 car in the Sprint Cup Series, was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR for violating two of the racing organization's policies – sections 12.1.a: Actions detrimental to stock car racing and section 12.8: Behavioral Penalty.

The penalties stem from a September 24 incident in which Busch allegedly assaulted his former girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, in his motor coach during a race weekend at Dover International Speedway. After the Family Court of the State of Delaware made a decision on Monday to issue an Order of Protection from Abuse against him, NASCAR followed suit and suspended Busch indefinitely.

Today, Busch lost a series of appeals and will now have to wait for a series of guidelines to be issued to him from NASCAR that he must follow before reinstatement.

Ferrari is no longer the most powerful brand in the world.

Claiming the honor of being the world's most powerful brand in 2015 is Lego, stripping Italian exotic automaker from the title that it held two years in a row.

Brand Finance ranks the world's most powerful brands annually by examining factors such as a company's investment in marketing, equity as measured by goodwill of customers and staff and the impact of marketing and goodwill on the company's business performance.

Lego got a nice bump in worldwide brand recognition thanks in part to the success of The Lego Movie, which grossed nearly $500 million worldwide. The company has also had great success with its Lego series of video games, not to mention all its relationships for branding items from other famous franchises such as Star Wars and even Ferrari itself. For the 2015 rankings, Ferrari earned a score of 89.6, putting it in the 10th position out of the world's 12 most powerful brands.
