O.K., I perused all of the Kyle Busch postings since Sunday's race and where's the outrage? I mean, if Kyle had clipped Dale Earnhart Jr. like that there would have been a 100 posts calling him out. But here this week there has been only some mention of his crashes overall last weekend. He hit Jamie McMurray man. For some of us this may be unforgivable!
Busch's globetrotting weekend skidded to a last-place ending. The Sprint Cup series points leader finished 43rd Sunday at the Pocono 500, set back by a wreck 47 laps into the race. Busch didn’t appear to see McMurray behind him on his right when Busch veered right and into McMurray. Busch then hit the wall, forcing him into the garage for major repairs.
"It’s really a shame our day had to end like that, we had a much better car,” said McMurray in the garage following the race. “I don’t know what happen with the 18 car, his spotter must have told him he was clear, when obviously he wasn’t. He tried to move into space that did not exist on the track and in the end, we were both victims. We had a much better Ford Fusion than 20th. It was a tough day and one of those deals that was completely out of our hands."
McMurray continued, "I’m really proud of all the guys on this No. 26 IRWIN Tools team; they really pushed hard today and we were able to salvage a somewhat good finish. We’ll take this and move on to Michigan next weekend.”
Busch said the mirror broke on the backup car while his crew tried to adjust it before the race, leaving him blind out of his right rear quarter panel. It appeared that Busch’s spotter tried to warn his driver over the radio about McMurray before Busch veered right, though Busch said in the garage that he didn’t get the message.
“So I couldn’t clear myself,” Busch said. “The spotter didn’t see say anything so I apologize to McMurray for wrecking their day.”
