Richmond Race

[godale03]

Alright guys,

What are your thoughts on this one? I think the race was Jr's, if the caution had not have come out. I don't think Kyle Busch wrecked Jr on purpose, but I do believe he could have raced Jr cleaner. I was there, I was pissed and I got over it... sort of! LOL I was there and didn't have the TV broadcast to listen to... did the comentators say anything about what they thought?

I can't stand the bush brothers! And Kyle is the biggest pos to ever drive a nascar! I can not believe the crap nascar lets that choad get away with.

I think the race was Hamlin's if he does get a flat.

IMO Jr was in the process of getting passed so he tried to keep Kyle on the bottom...Kyle could have backed off a little before he got loose but they were both going for the win and these things happen.

I still wish Hendricks would have kept Kyle instead of getting Jr.

I think Kyle didn't hit him on purpose. He went into the corner a little hot to try to get a fender under Jr. Unfortunately it took Jr. out and that sucks. I am so wanting him to win soon.

That being said, I think Kyle and Kurt Bush are the nastiest drivers in NASCAR since the Bodine brothers. It was rare that Geoff Bodine could get through a race without driving over someone, and Kyle Bush is shaping up the same way. As time goes on, he'll be making less and less friends in the biz. I for one am ecstatic that Hendrick dumped his ass and put Jr. on the payroll. Kyle is like the T.O. of NASCAR. Let someone else deal with his BS.

It was a racing incident for sure.

I gauge what happend by looking at the previous lap. Kyle was faster on the bottom than Jr. was on the top and Jr. knew it. Jr wasn't the faster car at the time so the only way Jr. could maintain position was to hold Kyle as low as possible so as to limit the width of his line in order to make it harder for him to get back to the gas. So obiously in order to do so he needed to crowd him much tighter than he had been. Jr. didn't give him as much room as the previous lap but enough to race..unfortunately there wasn't enough room for error... and Kyle errored.

It was a racing incident. I can accept that. Jr. couldn't hold the bottom. Kyle went in hard and lost the rear end, over corrected and took Jr out. Rubbin is racin as they say. Could Kyle have given Jr a bit more room... I think so. Kyle was faster entering the corner and Jr was better off the corner. That's just racing. Doesn't mean I wasn't so mad I could spit fire, but at least I wasn't like the idots that threw crap on the race track. Those folks are just morons if you ask me. Anyway... what really ticked me off was the fact that Denny didn't pull off the track when he new he had a tire going down. Instead he stayed out, caused a caution, and was penelized 2 laps for doing so. Jr was 2tenths of a second faster and would have won the race if it had of stayed green for just 7 laps. Did Denny stay out to cause a caution on purpose to help out Kyle... I think so... will we ever know for sure... nope. I guess that's just racing. Like Tony Jr said on the radio Saturday night... that is why Kyle wins and why he wads up so many race cars... he is out of control.

I'm proud to know a Jr. fan that has his head on right :thumbup:

Yeah, that's was stupid of Denny to stay out. There was no way he could maintain min. speed with that tire. Don't get me wrong, I understand he wanted to lose as little spots as possible but in the end he was gonna be 2 laps down anyways no matter.

Hey, to me, that is what racing is all about. All I could ask for was that Jr had the oportunity to win, which he did. I can't tell you how many times I watched Sr. "rattle someones cage" and that car end up spinning. It was just hard racing and I can accept that. I may be a Jr. fan, but I am a racing fan too, and Saturday night was just some good hard racing. Jr just happened to draw the short end of the stick. Doesn't mean I can't call Kyle a few choice words though! LOL Hey, if Jr continues to drive like he has been and run as good as he has been.... the wins will come.

Candyman mentioned the Bodine brothers... I remember those days... "get racing with a Bodine and the'll wreck ya"... they used to say.

 

[SMaxxin]

I know you guys hate the Bush brothers and I don't really care for Kurt but I like Kyle Bush.....I'll take a winning driver over a popular driver any day.

And to be honest he drives a lot like Dale Earnhardt in his younger days. Big E did what ever it took to win, if that mean jumping a curb he did it, if it meant wrecking another driver he did it and he didn't care if you like him or not....Too bad that drive to win wasn't passed down to Jr.

 

[Lessen]

Too bad that drive to win wasn't passed down to Jr.

Too Bad? I suppose that's one way to look at it.

 

[Brushlessboy]

Kyle just got loose underneath Jr. You could see it was going to happen aye?
I like Kyle cause I think he could run a Volkswagen and be up the front somewhere.
Never say Die attitude.
The commentators were funny though. You could see on the replays it was a racing incident and nothing more, but the commentators kepy saying. "Kyles gunna have a hard time getting out of Richmond"
They all agreed they wouldnt want to be him......

 

[godale03]

Like Michael Waltrip said last night on This week in NASCAR. Racing incident or not... Kyle took out the leader and that is unacceptable. He went into the corner way to hard and lost control of his race car. Now wether or not he did it on purpose... I don't think so... he was just being a bonehead. That's what a Bucsh brother is all about. I will give him credit though... the kid can drive a race car... better than his brother.


And Pete, you are exactly right... I have seen many times big E bumpin and grinding his way to the front. He didn't get the Nickname the Intimidator for nothing! LOL Sure Busch went in way to hard, got loose and, well you know the rest. Jr is the most popular driver, yes. He inherited alot of fans when his father was killed. Many had hoped that he would be the second comming. Well the truth is he's not, but he does have talent and does deserve to be where he is at. Afterall... he may not be winning races, but he is off to his best start of the season. But to say Busch should have given an inch would b e hipocritical of me to say... because the man I grew up watching would have done the same thing.
