CONCORD, N.C. -- An unusually clean and uneventful Nextel Cup All-Star Challenge at Lowe's Motor Speedway erupted into brotherly chaos on the second lap of the fourth and final segment of the event Saturday night, as Busch brothers Kurt and Kyle got together and ended each other's evening (watch video).
Alan Gustafson, crew chief of Kyle Busch's No. 5 Chevrolet, blamed Kurt Busch. Kyle? Well, it seemed he threatened to kick his older brother's butt on his radio immediately after the incident. But he snuck out of the track afterward without speaking to the media, so he was unwilling to clarify his position.
Kurt blamed Kyle. "We got together," said Kurt Busch, driver of the No. 2 Dodge. "I was making a clean move on the 31 [of driver Jeff Burton], and then I had a car to my inside when I'm on the bottom lane."
That car was the one being driven by Kyle Busch. Kurt said he knew the day would come when the two got into each other on a Nextel Cup racetrack. He just didn't think it was going to be Saturday night.
"I was waiting for the day when we got together and we did it when we were racing for a million bucks," Kurt said. "You know, the tough part is I wrecked real close to the end. "That was a bummer, to have my little brother pull that move on me. Maybe I should have given an inch instead of taken an inch from him -- but hey, that's what the All-Star race is all about. I just hate that I've got a wrecked racecar and so does he."
Listen to the audio with the video. The whole SPEED broadcst team blamed Kyle. And they were right to do so in my opinion. Alan and Kyle need to get their heads out of their ####. Who knows? If Kyle keeps wrecking cars and complaining about the COT, and Alan can't get his head out of his #### and straighten Kyle out, well then there just might be room at the inn for Dale Jr. and Tony Jr.,.
