I still don't get the bias against Kyle.

I am new to NASCAR....a new GF is a huge fan and introduced me in December. She hates Kyle also.

But all I see the guy do is be very competative and win.

In this instance, I still can't see what Busch did wrong. All the contact was initiated by Harvick. I've watched the replays multiple times, and there is no instance where Busch committed some aggregious act. And at the end, Busch did the proper thing and remained in his car.

Its like people hold some past acts against Kyle and remain looking at him in a very biased manner.

Personally from what I've seen over the 6-7 races I've watched is that he is just a hard nosed guy on the track who badly wants to win.

I don't care which two cars were involved, I'm curious to see if pit road really is off-limits or not. I guess we'll find out on Tuesday.
Amen on that!

I don't like Harvick or Busch but I think Kyle was out of line by doing that on pit road where someone innocent could get seriously injured. Another thing Kyle managed to do was take attention away from Reagan Smith who came up with a major upset victory. Kyle has a lot of talent but he needs to check himself before he does something that will keep him out of his car.

As you follow the series and get more involved you will realize there is a double standard and in some cases more than one version of each race.
