Great race! Props to Tony for the outstanding interview! Class act! That's racing and again @ Talladega in a few months, it will be the same thing. No different than Edwards/Keselowski. Plate racing will continue to do this until someone gets killed or seriously hurt. And please NASCAR take Dega out of the Chase race.
Even though our boy finished 14th, he still had enough points to be a top 11 win!
Suck it up Haters! He's still tied for most wins and is inching closer to a chase spot

I'm not a Jr. fan. I just dont like Kyle Busch. Kyle didnt even give an interview after the crash which is unprofessional, not "educated", and immature. Carl Edwards at least gave an interview when he did the same thing at Talladega and even took responsibility. That is why i respect him and have zero for Kyle.

But if Kyle did give an interview last night it would sound a lil something like this.

Oh jeez, now I have to clean the drink I was drinking off of the monitor. I have never laughed that hard, especially at the "more educated" part LOL! You bleed of jealousy and are too afraid to admit it. You hate the fact that Jr is the most popular driver and nobody likes The Pube so you have to crack jokes about how he sells a lot of T-shirts. There's a reason that people like Jr, it's because he bleeds CLASS, something that The Pube has none of. I will gladly root for a driver with class over a driver that wins every other race and wrecks the field. If that makes me uneducated, then I guess I'd rather be uneducated then being an "educated" pube fan

Jr's "CLASS" apparently took the day off during the Daytona 500 when he clipped Brian Vickers. The ones with true class are Carl Edwards and Mark Martin.

I think Jr and Busch fans can both be a little crazy. Ya'll may be in the most conversations and have the best rivalry but it's Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon who are fighting for the points lead.

Every driver has unclassy moments. Jr wrecked Vickers. Edwards threw the fake punch at Kenseth. Mark Martin, well I don't think I have ever seen him do anything that wasn't classy. Same deal with Jeff Burton. Fortunately for Jr, those moments are very rare. Kyle Busch's unclassy moments on the other hand, come multiple times each race.

Same thing every week. About Wednesday the Buschbackers start talking sweep in all 3 series or NW/Cup sweep, and this week it was Rolex, N-Wide and Cup sweep.....3/3 they proclaim and then after the diaper-wetter fails to get the job done with the best equipment, again, they go into the attack Jr. mode.

Props to the 18 for the ballsy move. Kyle knew what was going to happen to him, but he took the chance. Gave the fans an awesome show.

Kyle better get all thoughts of getting back at Tony. For one, Tony is in the "drivers" seat and take take a hit in the points standing and still be OK if Kyle want's to play around on the track.

Kyle is in no place to fool around in these next few races leading to the Chase.

Even though Tony has really mellowed out since becoming an owner, he is one person I would not want to rile up. Kyle is no match to Tony if the "tiger wakes up"!!

[quote=Stripes17;9608723]The more the Shrub fans whine about Jr when their guy screws up, it just makes me laugh more and more! How lame.

And here i thought i was the only one.

I don't see why Kyle owes Tony anything. Tony went low and Kyle blocked. Tony then went high and had a run on Kyle, helped by Jimmie Johnson. Kyle tried to block him, but was too late with the move and spun himself across Tony's nose.

I cannot blame Stewart for doing everything possible to go for the checkers out of turn 4, and it's not like Stewart purposely nudged Kyle's bumper. He simply went high and got a run, and Kyle went up into him.

It was just two drivers being aggressive in going for the win. If Kyle is a half second quicker to move up on Stewart, maybe he gets in front of him without the spin and goes on to win. It was a gamble he lost.

Couldn't agree more. Well said!
