I guess they figured Vickers' deal was worse since he did it under yellow? I dunno, it's stupid, he caused less damage than the other intentional wreckers.

He did drive the wrong way to get into the pits. Stopped sideways on the track and let his car roll down a couple of times to block Ambrose from moving.

So, Kurt said he didn't say it, I showed him the transcript, and he took it out of my hand and tore it in half.

Didn't say what?

Second paragraph in this article.

Quote:

•Kurt Busch goes after reporter, restrained: It started with a simple question to Kurt Busch from NASCAR.com reporter Joe Menzer following two on-camera interviews by ESPN and MRN on pit road at Richmond International Raceway. "Kurt, can either you or Jimmie win the Chase&" Menzer began to ask. Before Menzer could finish his thought, Busch cut him off. "How did I see you were going to come with that? We're good." Busch said. In an attempt to end the interview, Busch turned away and started walking down pit road. Menzer called after him and said the question was legitimate following the multiple incidents with Jimmie Johnson during Saturday night's race. At that moment, Busch turned around yelling expletives at Menzer, coming at him as if he wanted to fight. As he called Menzer names and continued to try to get at him, team members from Busch's Penske Racing team had to physically restrain Busch.(SB Nation)
AND It was the 2004 champion, though, who seemed to be feeling the pressure afterward. He castigated a reporter during a pit-road interview and renewed a heated discussion with him before a news conference 30 minutes later in the media center. He then challenged another reporter who asked Johnson to respond to Busch's contention that he was in the five-time champion's head. "I didn't say that tonight," retorted Busch, who later tore up a transcript of the interview (which was broadcast on national TV) handed to him by the reporter. "Did not."(USA Today and more news on this at Sports Illustrated)(9-11-2011)

Makes you wonder what the Busch household was like when they were kids.

I was hoping I would be a fan of Kurt Busch this season. Guess not.

My question is.... is Kurt NOT in Jimmies head?... Because it seems to me Jimmie is acting, driving a bit differently than in years past. Not that its bad, its just not him. If Jimmie gets too consumed with Kurt, others will take advantage.

It's not the Chase yet... I'm pretty sure we're bound to go back to "Oh no's Jimmie's gonna win it all again" here shortly. I mean, I hope to frig not, but they always seem to pull one out of their ass. Last night, he pretty much had nothing to lose in going after Kurt like he did. Why not? It'd be funny as hell, and 100% warranted.

Besides, I thought it was hilarious. Jimmie says "I try not to wreck anyone", and the fact that he tried so damn hard and failed so miserably speaks volumes about how true that is.

I don't think Johnson will win it this year. He just doesn't have the momentum and consistency of a Kyle Busch or Gordon.

They key to the Chase is BONUS POINTS. Pole, Leading and Most Laps led, there's 30 points there and over the 5 years, its been this sort of stuff that Johnson has picked up.

Andre · PostPosted: Mon Sep 12, 2011 2:55 pm

Agreed. I'm definitely hoping for a Harvick or Gordon title this year.

Cartman · PostPosted: Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:03 pm

I'm hoping Kurt can knock Jimmie around some more, just so he can keep him from winning it all again.

Looks like they've made up already.

I always imagine they do those "yeah guys, we totally made up" photos just for PR, and in reality they still hate each others guts.

Or at least I hope so.

Gaara · PostPosted: Mon Sep 12, 2011 10:45 pm

Either way they'll be at it again the moment one 'accidentally' bumps the other.

I'm no mind reader, but by no means does that picture scream "We are agreeing on things at this very moment".

Chris A · PostPosted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 12:07 pm

Exactly. People can have disagreements without fighting or screaming at one another.

TV is the one and only beacon of truth! I bow to your superior logic!
