"That's not only isn't likely, but would not be wise. No doubt some Junior fan hell-bent on revenge would take to smashing a beer bottle over Busch's elongated head, claiming he was only trying to wipe the perpetual smirk from his face".

That's funny right there. Its from this article on Nascar.com

I don't like Kyle Busch. He looks like Pee Wee Herman

Well said!
And furthermore I didn't see many (if any) people give Montoya a break when he was just beginning in NASCAR and was acting and doing the same as Shrub is..so why does Shrub deserve a break when he isn't a newbie to Nascar and does know better.
I like to see a little aggression when it comes to racing but there is a line.
He comes off as fake in his interviews and acts like he is never in the wrong or tries to be apologetic in any sense. I predict the next person he wrecks will be Stewart..I'm calling that.

It wouldn't surprise me but Tony is pretty tame this days. I don't know if he would even get mad or not.

Now Harvick is another story. LOL

Sorry but I had to make an account here just to reply to this statement here.

I happened to be at the richmond race. The one that Hamlin so called "dominated".. Actually from where I was sitting, it looked like DaleJR pretty much dominated the race. I mean, how many positions did Hamlin actually GAIN. How many did JR gain ?

If you ask me, Hamlin made the race boring leading all those laps, JR made the race worth watching, passing left & right, high or low. THEN... THEN.. HAMLIN DOES THE MOST PATHETIC THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN ALL MY YEARS WATCHING NASCAR...

He intentionally stopped his freaking SPRINT CUP CAR on the front stretch to bring out a caution. That really is some cheap Southside Speedway lowdown backwoods type crap. He knew that tire was going down for LAPS.. He could have very easily came in to change it but who knows what went on in that pea sized brain of his. I'm from Richmond,Va. I used to like Hamlin somewhat. Not after that cheap move.

JR would not have been touched by Busch if it wasn't for that caution. If you ask me, Hamlin ruined that race for alot of people by being selfish & it's funny how no one seems to notice. Wow, he got held for two laps..

On topic: JR DID put the pinch down on Kyle.

and kyle responded.. that was just good racing. Hamlin sucks.

U just confused me with that comment^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. Are u trying to say that Hamlin needed to just pull over and let others go? And another thing I laughed about in ur comment. U know it was kinda hard for hamlin to gain any positions if he started pole to begin with. So Hamlin is boring because he led most of laps, and he sucks bcuz he didnt gain any positions? Ok? I agree with the dumb move, but u know, he was just trying to feel out his tire, and being in his home town, he didnt want to blow a good finish unless the tire was actually down. So yes he did make a bad decision about the tire thing, but that is all I agree with in ur post.

Actually what JrFan stated was that Hamlin stopped on the track, and as soon as the caution waved he continued to drive the car he stopped. Didn't Jr get in trouble once for causing a caution with a spin? My memory isn't the greatest.
Hamlin is a bone head, and he did make the race boring, but that wasn't his fault, that is the downside to short track racing IMO. And if got very exciting when his tire went down.

Bull's-eye on Busch
By Jerry Bonkowski, Yahoo! SportsWill Kyle Busch be smiling at Darlington? (Getty) RICHMOND, Va. –

Add "most hated man in NASCAR" to the growing list of nicknames for Kyle Busch.

He can try to run, but Busch cannot hide from what went down in the closing laps of Saturday night's Crown Royal Presents the Dan Lowry 400 at Richmond International Raceway.

Just when it looked like Dale Earnhardt Jr. was finally going to snap a 71-race winless streak – the longest of his Cup career – Busch's right-front fender got into Earnhardt's side, spinning him into the wall.

At the time, Earnhardt was leading the race, and with only four laps to go things were looking oh so promising for him and his millions of minions.

But instead of ending up in victory lane, Earnhardt wound up in the wall. And his following wasn't happy.

What should have been a short delay in the race turned into a sizable intermission as the Junior Nation went wild, lobbing anything they could find – beer cans, cups, trash – onto the track.

Busch, fresh off a dust up with Steven Wallace in Friday night's Nationwide race and already viewed as, ahem, less than popular, was their target – a real-life Grinch that all but stole an early Christmas from hopeful Junior fans.

Junior wound up 15th, while Busch cruised home in second to Clint Bowyer, the benefactor of Junior's misfortune.

Adding insult to injury, Busch's runner-up finish was enough to move him into the points lead.

And so if it wasn't clear before, it most certainly is now: Jeff Gordon is no longer the most hated man in NASCAR. Kyle Busch is.

"For me, there's nothing you can say, absolutely nothing," Busch said. "If I apologize up and down, even though it may or may not be my fault, it would not make a difference. Dale got wrecked, he should have had a win tonight, quote, unquote. But I'll say it again, it's just unfortunate circumstances for him because he didn't get a win and for me because now I've got to put up with it."

Of course, it doesn't matter what Busch says or that it wasn't entirely his fault. Earnhardt readily admitted he came down slightly on Busch going into Turn 3, meaning Junior is at least partly to blame.

The two were fighting for the same piece of race track. Just because he's Junior doesn't mean he wins by default, at least not in theory. But in reality, well, that's a different story.

"If I went out there on that final restart and just gave way to the 88 car, then that would not be a true race car driver," Busch said. "I had to do what I had to do to win for my team. That's what I was out there for and to do, to try to get a win. Unfortunately, circumstances happened."

For the most part, Earnhardt has handled this winless streak without showing much frustration. If he harbored any, he did a good job of keeping it inside. But it all poured out Saturday night as the dejection of coming close again only to lose was almost painfully obvious.

"The worst part about it is that I've been priding myself on running good all year and I was in a position for a win," he said. "I ran hard and got wrecked. I had a top-three car and should have finished in the top three. I was going for the win and just ended up on the hook today. I'm just disappointed."

Earnhardt Jr. didn't do Busch any favors following the race. Junior certainly didn't let Busch off the hook. And so come next weekend in Darlington, expect Junior Nation, which takes its cue from its leader, to be on Busch like he's Barry Bonds.

"Whether it is fair or not, he is going to need some security," a dejected Earnhardt Jr. said afterward. "I wouldn't say (the wreck) was intentional because if he wanted to, he could have just thrown me in the fence off (Turn) 2. I got back side-by-side going into (Turn) 3, tried to run him pretty tight running up top, and he just ran into me or got loose or whatever."

I asked Busch in his post-race interview how he thinks he'll be viewed by the Junior Nation. In typical Busch fashion, he shrugged it off like it's no big deal.

"Well, for some reason, they were awfully confused, because they were giving me the No. 1 sign the last 10 laps of the race, and I was in second place still," Busch quipped. "So, I don't know whether that's too many Dale Jr. Budweisers or they were Amped up or what."

A few minutes later, Bowyer walked in for his interview session, accompanied by a police escort.

"The cops were out there," Bowyer said, "and I said, 'I don't know why you need to escort me. You need to be escorting Kyle Busch out of here.' "

It was funny but also true.

LOL at that whole post? So what, Jr passed a few cars (on the track and in the pits) trying to get the lead while Hamlin was passing cars putting them a lap down. Thats more entertaining than watching Jr slowly pass a few cars. Big difference. It's called domination. Something Jr struggles at but Sort of like what his daddy did frequently..

I would describe Kyle Bush as Dale Earnheart in his younger days, do what ever it takes to win!


As for the wreck, Jr could have easily moved up on the track and gave a little room but he was going for the win. Kyle could have let off a little but he was going for the win.....Blame it on hard racing and two stubborn drivers. If it would have been a driver other than Jr all of this wouldn't have been a big deal.

WRONG!!! With it being jr, it just involves more people. It would still be talked about. Now if this was for like 15th place or so...THEN it wouldnt be a big deal. but this was for 1st with few laps to go, which is why it was a big deal.
