Busch quipped, “Everyone is driving around the racetrack scared to death of wrecking Dale Earnhardt Jr., so why would I be any different?”

And with those few words, Busch proved he didn’t care who was behind the wheel or he would have tempered his entry into the corner more judiciously. He made it clear that he would not be intimidated by the Intimidator’s son or anyone else on the racetrack.

“It would not make me a race car driver that’s for sure,” said Busch, who finished second and took the points lead from Jeff Burton. “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.

“I had to do what I had to do to win for my team. That’s what I was out there and set forth to do was try to get a win. Unfortunately, circumstances happened.”

Earnhardt’s point of view did not differ greatly from Busch’s. He concluded the incident was simply unfortunate.

I wasn’t good on the bottom so I moved up to the top to run as good as I could up there,” said Earnhardt, who finished 15th but remained third in the standings. “He had been running the bottom, so I figured we would race that out. I got a great run around one and two, and nearly got by me. He gave me room off the outside of two so I wouldn’t say that was intentional going into three because if he had wanted to, he could have just thrown me into the fence off two. We had been racing each other earlier and had no problems

On that same page Fox has a poll and 90,000 people have voted. Jr fans dominate those polls and he alwways comes out a winner in them.

88% said the accident was dales fault
8% blamed Kyle
4% said thats just racing.

What are the odds for the percent # to be 88 and 8?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

He’s not where he is because of his daddy.

“I didn’t feel like I slipped, but I mean, we just kind of banged simultaneously, and then that’s when I got loose and got corrected and he was gone.”

If Kyle didn’t “feel like (he) slipped” then why did he turn right? His next quote, “we just kind of banged simultaneously”, well yeah Pee Wee that’s because you turned up into Jr. He knows exactly what he did, he gives himself away right here in his own words, I can’t stand the arrogant punk of a wanna be man.
