The snow angel was lame, I agree with that. The victory lap in reverse was kinda cool. People didn't like Kulwicki's "Polish victory lap" at first either. What can you do to celebrate? Not everybody can do a backflip.
It was pretty obvious they were ready for Kurt to leave Roush. I never figured out if it was because they were just tired of him or were upset that he signed with Penske. He did win Roush his second championship so I never could tell.
From what I understand his head was getting bigger than his ears. After he signed with Penske, his ego got out of control.
