Inside Newman-Busch fracas

Comment # 0 has been removed

Just Kurt being Kurt.. having a bad night and it just got worse after the blown tire and a few scrapes with the wall

Boys have at it!!.. thats what NASCAR said

The big fat guy on Newman's crew that bumped the Nascar official onto the hood of the car might have some answering to do.

He's got some splaining to do

And he was a big ole boy too

I do believe this is the 1st thread this year that actually had to do with the race.. got to give props to the Racing T&R crew.. it ONLY took them 3 months to do it

A little more to the thread..

Newman's gas man, Andy Rueger, who went to the #51 hauler to await Busch's arrival. Rueger planned to confront Busch immediately after the race. But Busch's team knew Newman's crew was upset, and so crew chief Nick Harrison instructed Busch to stop at the entrance of pit road and leave the car there instead. The driver was livid on the radio and had been screaming obscenities during the final few laps, and the team felt it would be a good idea for him just to get off the track.

Words were exchanged between the crewmen and Busch, and a NASCAR official fell onto Busch's hood in the process. Though contact with Rueger sparked the official's tumble, NASCAR's Robin Pemberton said the official just lost his footing. It's unclear whether NASCAR will issue any penalties in this situation. If NASCAR feels its official tumbled onto the hood on his own, then Newman's gas man could go unpunished.

there is no defending kurt busch at this point, hes definitely got a few screws loose..

what i'm more shocked about is that T&R came up with an article about an on-track incident the day after the race.. hell is freezing over

Kurt, you lost one ride. Trying to lose the other? Grow up!

He'll end up driving for the only owner who can put up with him - his baby brother, in Nationwide series

NASCAR made the statement at the beginning of the season that they wanted to get back to racin like the old day, well thats part of it.......this reminds me of the Allison and Yarborough fight....

Bushy better be glad Newman didn't get too him -- I don't think Bushy wants a piece of him ...

Meanwhile 5 Time is back... Finally able to hang on and win a race he led a lot of laps in.

Seeing as how Newman didn't even try to get to him sounds like he didn't want to tangle either.

Speaking of Newman, he seems to be involved in plenty of scrapes on the track and always gets a pass from the press and most of the fans. Hell, I remember him running Tony Stewart right off the track here in NH a few years back while Tony was in contention for the win and Ryan was lapped traffic. Old Smoke was not too happy with that maneuver.

Don't think those ''rocket scientist'' know how to fight
