After watching all the replays, I don't think Busch intentionally wrecked Junior. Busch was just losing it and couldn't correct. Junior handled it very well in the post-race interview and didn't blame Busch, saying Tony Eury Jr. had told him it looked like Busch lost it.
It is a shame though for Junior, who hasn't won in 72 races now. But I think it's even sadder for Denny Hamlin, who obviously had the best car by far and was felled by a late flat tire after leading for a record 381 laps, breaking Bill Elliott's record. I don't root for any of the drivers in question (actually, Elliott was my favorite when he ran regularly and now I'm just a casual fan), but I think it's a shame mainly because Hamlin didn't get the win he wanted so badly in his hometown after dominating all but the end. All three will be back in the winner's circle before the end of the season, I bet.

Yep, as much as I don't like Busch, I guess I can't call him an idiot (well I can, but that's just bias). And Jr always handles himself in that manner, never wanting to throw anyone under the bus. I just wish Mark could've come out of that last pit stop in 3rd instead of Bowyer. I love me some Mark Martin.

I feel awful for Junior, he's run great all year and you can tell how bad he wants to win, but man oh man am I excited to see that 07 car in victory lane. People said he snuck into the Chase last year and I'm sure they think his 3rd place finish was a fluke, but boys let me tell you this cat is the real deal. Way to go Clint!!!!!!!!!

Another race day another punk arse she girl move by Kyle Busch.
Busch is a cheap shot artist and once again he proves it
One day on one of these tracks someone is going to pay Busch back for all this.
Mr. Busch meet wall
Mr. Busch meet wheel chair
Mr. Busch meet retirement
Dale Jr handled it with class and did not throw him under the bus, but the Junior nation will not be as kind.
Cannot wait until someone introduces Busch to a full can of budweiser to the back of the head.
The only thing that has prevented Busch from killing someone is the saftey systems.
NASCAR needs to step in a end this foolishness. Take 100 points in the Nationwide and Sprint to let that idiot know to clean up his act.
Papa E would have put Kyle Busch in the wall a long time ago.

It is a shame that Denny Hamlin didn't pull off the win after dominating the race all night long.
And it is a shame that Earnhardt couldn't get his first win in almost two seasons.
I am a huge Jr. fan as I grew up a huge Sr. fan. I don't blame Kyle Busch at all for Junior not winning the race. They should have never been in that position to crash.
I blame Denny Hamlin for Junior not winning.
Not Denny specifically, but someone from his crew, or Joe Gibbs racing, that told him to stop on the track to bring out the caution. He and Kyle Busch are teammates. Junior was increasing his lead over Kyle Busch by a tenth of a second every lap at the time of the caution. Having a caution come out was the only chance Busch had of passing Earnhardt. Hamlin made it happen. But like I said, not Denny who did it... he was simply following orders.
It's not a coincidence that as soon as the caution flag waved, Denny was able to drive away from where he stopped on the track. This one is cut and dry. Black and white. 2+2. It doesn't take a genious to figure this one out. It was done intentionally to give Busch a chance at beating Junior on the restart.
I'm just glad that a Gibbs car didn't win the race. No offense to Hamlin, he deserved to win the race. But after Denny's flat, Junior deserved to win.
The accident was too close to call. It did appear that Kyle got loose. I'm not blaming him one bit.
I'm happy for Clint Bowyer and RCR though. But I just wish the caution never came out with 10 laps to go. If someone other than Junior was going to win, they were going to have to earn it, instead of having the win handed to them like it was tonight.

Kyle Busch doesn't have to intentionally cause a wreck. He drives over his head, and is on the edge much of the time. Unfortunatele he usually drives away from the carnage he leaves behind him.

Eo11, when I read a mindless piece of idiocy like your post hoping Kyle Busch winds up in a wheelchair, I actually fear for the women being beaten up in trailer parks tonight by cowards with YOUR mentality. Assuming that dead lump between your ears can be regarded as a mentality.

Kyle Bush was'nt lose the whole race untill those last laps. He turned his wheels to the right and took Jr. out. His post interview said it all when he said there is more to racing then Dale Earnhart Jr. Kyle Does'nt understand why no body cheers for him but there is a lot of us that do. WVUAlum92 sounds just like the fox team trying to explain why. This story not done. Notice you had nothing to say anything about the winner.

Eo - There is another person who posts on these threads and wishes the same thing on Jr. No true fan of racing should wish any harm on any driver what so ever. I have drivers that I don't like but the worse I ever hope for is a DNF or bad finish to keep them down in the standings. Keep the injury stuff to yourself.

There is no sense in sugar coating anything is there? There was no accidental contact here. Busch wants to win at any expense and he seized his moment by driving deep into the turn and then turning Right to save his own rearend. Period . End of story...Some might say"That's racing". But Ky Busch get a grip on his image. He's starting to play the part of the villian.
