I haven't posted a blog in nearly two months but have to write to congratulate Kyle Busch for taking over the Cup points lead. It seems all the idiots and morons who know so little about racing have crawled from under a rock to blast Kyle Busch over his contact with Jr. last night so someone has to set the record straight.
I have read that Kyle Busch hadn't been loose all night so why did he suddenly get loose at that point? Facts: Kyle likes his car on the loose side so to say he hadn't hung the read end out all night is totally disingenuous. Plus, laps were winding down and he was pushing hard to get the lead. He may have over-driven the corner a little but even Jr. admitted "pinching him down a little which got him loose" so there is NO WAY the contact was intentional. Kyle is a very talented and very agressive driver but he doesn't drive dirty.
I have also read that the fact Kyle turned his wheels to the right PROVES the contact was intentional. So for all you uneducated newbies or head-in-the-sand "veteran" fans, let me ask you a question. When you have been too agressive getting into a corner on an asphalt track and your read end starts to slide, which way do you turn your steering wheel? Obviously you all think you know so much about driving a race car so be honest and admit that to save the car once it is loose YOU HAVE TO TURN THE WHEELS TO THE RIGHT. If you turn them to the left, you will loop the car. Professional racers get paid big bucks to save the car under those circumstances.
One final point before Jr. Nation starts attacking this blog. I wanted Jr. to win last night and still hope he will win the championship if Jeff Gordon doesn't. Any HMS champion is better than a JGR champion for me BUT if you keep whining about Kyle Busch (not Bush as so many critics spell it) running up front and winning races you are going to become a constant whiner for the next several years. He has more talent than Jr. and 99% of the other drivers out there so cut him some slack once in a while. Sr. was the dirtiest driver ever yet he was beloved for intentionally wrecking people to get wins. Now Kyle comes out being extremely agressive but NOT wrecking people on purpose and everyone wants to criticize him. You are all just showing your ignorance about the sport you supposedly love. Get over it.
P.S. Updated info. - 84% of 170,000+ voters on a FOXSports poll believe it was Jr.'s fault. Only 5% voted it was just a racing incident. That is surprising and unbelievable that so many fans don't have a clue what they saw. It was NOT Jr.'s fault and it was not Kyle doing anything intentional. It was a racing deal, plain and simple. I guess the prevalence of Kyle bashers just means the Jr. Nation folks are quite vocal but certainly represent a very small minority in terms of their beliefs about last night's incident since such a large majority of voters actually blame Jr.
