I’ve been reading a lot of the blogs and posts about the incident between Dale Jr. and Kyle Busch at Richmond. I feel that the wreck was an intentional act on Kyle’s part. Jr. stuck with the high line that he had been running. Kyle had plenty of room left to the yellow line and if he was racing clean, why did the wheels on the car turn to the right? After the race, Kyle took absolutely no responsibility for the wreck and said “it was just racing”. I was present for the Nationwide race on Friday for the incident between Kyle and Steven Wallace. That incident was a miscalculation by Steven Wallace and “it was just racing” but apparently because Kyle did not cause the incident he was upset about it. I think that Kyle believes if he takes the action that it is ok but can’t take it if an accident is done to him. Kyle has said in interviews a number of times that he will do whatever he needs to win races. Does that mean wrecking someone and maybe injuring someone in that wreck? Kyle needs a reality check and to realize that he is not the best driver in the world and that there are 42 other drivers on the track with him. I believe that he does have some driving talent but his nonchalant attitude and his immaturity are going to cause a lot of problems in future races. He needs to grow up and take responsibility for his actions like normal adults are supposed too and stop acting like a spoiled little child. I also would like to credit Dale Jr. with his mature responses during the numerous interviews after the race. He handled himself well considering that he was very upset with what happened on track. He could have made a number of verbal attacks on Kyle but kept his responses mature and responsible. Another issue that I have is the comparison of Kyle Busch to Dale Sr. Kyle has talent but is nowhere near the man that Dale Sr. was. At least if Dale Sr. wrecked somebody to win a race he would accept responsibility for his actions unlike Kyle. I wished the reporters and commentators would stop jumping on someone’s bandwagon just because they are doing well at the moment. And to stop making comparisons between people because everyone is NOT the same. This is just my opinion of things and if anyone wants to comment on my viewpoint, please feel free to. I just want to say that not all the NASCAR fans that are against Kyle Busch are Dale Jr. fans.

Ignorant!
First let me respond to WylldB11, you sir are ignorant about racing. After looking at your profile it is very clear you know nothing about NASCAR. I guess being 3rd in the points this year despite not having won a race is living off his fathers legacy oh wait! maybe he can drive. Now back to this good blog, I believe Kyle will meet up with a wall real soon and when it really is going to count. I am very upset about his 2 faced nature about Friday,s incident and Saturday,s incident. I will continue to call him wild thing instead of rowdy though.

Kyle is a serious liabilty and dangerous
I agree that Kyle is going to sderiously hurt someone if something isn’t done to stop him. Listening to his comments Friday night about “I will crash anyone I have to to win” and how Wallace”better watch out” made me sick!!!!!
Then for him to act as though what he did was nothing and like he never made those comments…....it makes it even worse.I am so tired of hearing the announcers praise every little thing he does or says…..and giving him nicknames like wildthing and such only encourage him.When is Nascar going to wake up and realize his potential for causing a horrible wreck?.Before or after he does it? I pray its before. and there is NO WAY Kyle is even CLOSE to being Dale’s talent….......no matter how many years he races he wont match up in my opinion. To me this isnt about who is who’s fan.its about safety and maturity and good old fashioned COMMON SENSE.
