I was at the race, and the funny thing about it is Busch did the same thing Edwards did to him the next turn. Edwards got into Busch going into Turn 1 and Busch got into Edwards in Turn 3, just couldn't complete the pass. Looks like someone will be shaving a 42 in the back of his head, as Mr. Busch is getting some competition!!!

Yeah I was there too. We sat in turn 2 and got a good view of it all. Busch knows this is short track racing and bumping is part of it. I also was at Richmond this year when he went into turn three way too fast and took out Jr. Funny how Jr. didn't respond the way Busch did after Bristol. I guess that's how a young punk reacts when things don't go his way.

I'm not a Edwards fan but I definitely gained a lot of respect for the guy after Saturday night. Don't take crap from anyone Cousin Carl !

Yea I was on the frontstretch, right before turn 1. I love what Carl said after the race, when Busch said Carl would just come up to him and say "Sorry." Edwards said afterward that he wasn't sorry and that he would do it again. Tony Stewart was on his talk show last night and even said he had no problem with what Carl did. He said Carl moved him up one lane, and that is nothing compared to what could have been done. That is how KB is though, first one to move someone, and first one to whine when he gets moved. Jr. handled it with class and I am not a Jr fan. KB has a ton of talent, and more importantly a long way to go in his career. I hope he stops the whining so that I can enjoy his talent, because right now, I only care to see him fail, so that he matures and respects what he has!

They're both whiny-ass 150lb little girls. Somebody should just kick their asses in a bar.

Carl Edwards would tear you a new one.

Did any of you guys stay at farmer bobs? We had a whole Massillon crew there. We even picked up another guy for a trailer ride....I forget his name but they were with a trailer that said cresncze(sp) heating and cooler...

I was going to post that, but you beat me to it. Now if CarlE is talking about the Busch bro's, I agree with him 100%.

He's a punk. And if I see him at Daytona I'll make a tape for you showing me telling him so.

:lol: Make sure you keep the tape rolling after you say that so we can see him either laughing at you or pounding you into the ground.

Kyle Busch still has more wins and he is still going to win the championship this year. Go 18!

You better hope so, I've got that 42 cut out waiting to trim in the back of your head!!

Busch has to be one of the two favorites to win it thats for sure. I just don't buy into this Super Man title for him yet. I heard a good interview on "Trading Paint" on Sirius radio yesterday with Jeff Burton. He brought up what I never heard the media talk about. He said that the advantage Toyota has over the others is that their Nationwide and Cup engines are spec wise identical and therefore all the technology is interchangeable. Where all the other makes have totally different specs when comparing engine programs from Cup to Nationwide.

So its just like Jack Roush predicted. Toyota is outspending everyone. They spent over 1 billion dollars in engine development in preparing to enter the Cup ranks. This is supposed to be STOCK car racing. Now I know these cars haven't been stock since the 60's but spending like that is like the N.Y. Yankees. It's detrimental to the sport in the long run.

So I definitely think Busch is making the best of this horsepower advantage they have. Burton, whom I assume 99% of knowledgeable NASCAR fans respect even said how obvious it is that Toyota is killing everyone down the straightaways.

That would be why KB had only had 1 win in each of his 3 previous years, with a great team might I add. 8 before the chase........hmmmm....... We'll see if he can keep his cool, and if that continues next year.
