Busch vs. Dale Jr ???!!!!
Oh wait, that's right Clint Bowyer won the race !!! How much security do you think Kyle Busch had to have to leave Richmond Saturday Night? Actually, how much security will he need from now on??!!! NASCAR fans are passionate people who NEVER forget. Did Kyle screw up? Absolutely. On purpose? No. He could have wrecked himself as well. Will this follow him the rest of his career? Probably. Simply put, it was a racing incident. One got loose...both thought the other would give them enough room and in the end Junior got wrecked.
Poor Denny! How painful to lead 381 laps and then end your night with a flat. Plus, he gets a 2 lap penalty for deliberating causing a caution, finishing 24th. OUCH!!! I wonder if he remembers how good his weekend was before that. He kicked things off with the Denny Hamlin 175 at his home track, Southside Speedway. The proceeds went to the newly formed Denny Hamlin Foundation, which in turn was able to donate a $50,000 check to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. He qualifed third for the Nationwide race and won the poll for the Sprint Cup race. Then, he held off Kevin Harvick under green-white-checkered conditions to win the Nationwide's Lipton Tea 250. All that probably doesn't take the sting away from Saturday night.
The Nationwide race wasn't without its own controversy. Common denominator? Kyle Busch. This time he was the almost-victim. Steven Wallace got into the back of him but Kyle with his amazing car control faired just fine to finish 3rd, with Wallace coming in 5th. The sparks flew after the race finished on pit road when Busch went to talk to Wallace. Wallace, still in his car, yanked Busch's facemask. The interviews afterward were quite amusing. Busch talked about Wallace being a boy in a man's sport and grabbing the bull and getting the horns. Wallace called Busch a little girl. At least I think he did. I really couldn't understand much of the interview because Wallace was talking a mile a minute. I love it when the start drivers start calling each other names!!! I wonder if Steven's Dad, Rusty Wallace will be writing any checks to NASCAR for the pit road ruckus.
Other Notes: I probably jinxed Ken Schrader by mentioning he was in for Dario Franchitti this weekend. Schrader had to qualify on time Friday afternoon and got beat by J.J. Yeley. The difference was two hundredths of a second. Schrader did finish second on Sunday in the ARCA race from Rockingham NC. Joey Logano, a Gibbs development driver who turns 18 on May 24th, won his ARCA race debut. Carl Edwards has signed a multi year contract with Roush-Fenway Racing. Rumor has it Bobby Labonte has resigned from Petty Enterprises, but that's still just rumor.
Next up: The Lady in Black, Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina. One must respect The Lady In Black especially on Mother's Day weekend!!!
