Kyle Busch May Be Dead By The Time You Read This Post

The only reason this will get a ton of play is because Jr's fanbase is the most ridiculously stupid fanbase in all of sports.  That was a racing incident and Jr had just as much to do with it as Busch.  If you watch it slowly enough, Jr hit Busch before Busch ever moved to the right.

Edit: That characterization of the Jr fanbase may've been slightly unfair.

I'm all for give and take between drivers but there comes a time when you have to throw protocol out the window and race for the win.  Anybody who watched that race knows that Jr's car was better on the top while Busch's was awesome on the bottom of the track.  Both drivers could be to blame because neither one gave the other any room going into the corner.  It just so happens that Jr was on the outside and when Busch's car slid up, Jr's car was right there to absorb the hit.  This accident was nothing but two drivers racing hard for the win.  Unfortunately, one driver happens to be the most popular guy in Nascar with a rabid fanbase while the other is an aggressive, hot shot driver who's style sometimes rubs fans and other drivers the wrong way.  That said, this is racing and the object is to win the race, not finish in 2nd.

The difference between this incident and the one in the Nationwide Race was that Steven Wallace and Kyle Busch werent racing for the win.  There was one lap left, both guys were destined to finish in the top 5 and Wallace basically just drove his car right into the back of Busch's and knocked him out of the way. 

on one hand, i don't believe it was intentional. after the restart for hamlin (moronically) not getting off the track and then just letting his car sit out there waiting for nascar to throw the caution, busch was a little bit faster them jr's, and he had the preferred line. why then, would he intentionally wreck a car he's probably going to pass in the next 2 turns, and take the chance of wrecking himself as well?

on the other hand, it's a short track, there's 3 laps to go, and anything goes, so jr. shouldn't be so surprised (especially considering it's the trainwreck that is kyle busch)

but if the shoe's on the other foot, and it's jr. wrecking kyle for the win, all the jr fans would be on here screaming about how he's the greatest driver ever and any other driver would do the same thing.....if you really want to talk about hypocrites

I am a JR fan and one thing that drives me nuts is the group you get put in.  I am not a part of JR Nation.  I'm a race fan who loves JR and Stewart, just a race fan!!   I do know that JR  & Tony skrew up, heck they all do.  Last weekend when Tony's tire blew, I thought JR did it getting into Tony, until Tony said it was his tire.   (I talk to my drivers during the race, they don't answer back tho)  I was already fussing at JR.  Can't quote all I said on here, but I wasn't happy about it.  Both of my drivers are great to me, but they are not gods by any means, so are everyone else's drivers out there.  That is NASCAR.  I just get sick of being grouped with people that throw cans and crap on the track, those are just idiots.    Now I have been know to be a fan that will give the 1 finger salute, guilty as charged.  But to let ya know, other driver fans do the the same to any driver they feel the need to salute during a race.   This is needed during a race, I don't know why, but it is one of the 1st things you learn at the track. 

Thanks for listening, just wanted it known that we are not all nuts. 

Yep!! 

I'm just 15 minutes from Bristol and talk with a bit of a twang.  LOL I'm in the middle of hickville.  I understood every word that Steven Wallace said in his interview Friday.  I know, that is bad.   I'm not a redneck, southern girl is what I use, not a tomboy, I love girly stuff.   So I do get a little upset when I get grouped in with all the nuts.  And every driver has some of those nuts as fans, not just JR.   Gordon had a bunch to start with, the driver hoppers, those that change their driver like they change out their closets. 

But as far as any fan throwing stuff or even letting their trash blow away from them at the track just gets on my nerves.  How many cautions do we have for a little plastic bag that someone just didn't stuff back in the cooler?! 

Hey now!! I'm Canadian (as you well know sis) and I understood Steven Wallace just fine as well!

I was at that race in Bristol when Dale wrecked Terry also the year he sent him backwards across the finish line  (Dale was black flagged 3 times and made it back to the front each time, what a race!) and I was there the year that Jeff wrecked Rusty in turn 4 and took the win.  They all do it.  Most of the times it is a cheap shot, that's racin.  Back then I loved SR, liked Rusty, Ricky, Terry, Davey, Sterlin, DW, Mark, DJ, just like now.  I like a lot of drivers.  I have favorite drivers: JR & Tony, and like many other drivers out there.  I am a race fan, not Jr nation.
