Do you think that Kyle checked up on the restart to cause Carl to run into Jeff Gordon intentionally????

Question

My son swears that he did it on purpose to put Jeff out of the race....

Answer 1

edwards is a jerk who will do anything to win and is a crybaby when he gets hit.

Answer 2

no it was just a part of racing. stuff like that happens when there is a slow restart.

Answer 3

It's called racing

Answer 4

Tell your son to go back & watch the restarts that Gordon was leading - he did the SAME EXACT THING.  He got that from Dale Sr who did it dozens of times in his career.  Blame Kyle Busch if you or your son want to but the fact is that it is something that ALL drivers are doing now.

Answer 5

i wont put it past kyle he know that jeff had a better car and could beat him and early in the year kyle said that he would do anything to win plus he know that if jeff went to the outside everyone could go with jeff

Answer 6

Yeah he did do that on purpose...my brother was ticked off yesterday, he was so mad!

Answer 7

No I don't think so. Edwards didn't really get into the back of him. Gordon tried to block him and Carl didn't let up, just like any driver would do. Kyle slowed down to keep other guys from getting a good run on him. Drivers do it at plate tracks all the time. It's not right, but it's part of racing.

Answer 8

no i dont think so,  gordon wasnt upset over what happeded really, he didnt say anything leaning towards kyle busch soin that intentionally,he was more upset with himself

Answer 9

The lead car sets the pace for the restart.Kyle choose to use a slow restart to mess up the timing of the rest of the drivers.

This tactic is used by all drivers and has been used for ,well since NASCAR started.So did he us the slow start intentionally,yes.

Was he the cause of Jeff's spin no,Jeff went to block and Carl bumped him,he spun and it was a racing deal.

Answer 10

Sure he did it on purpose, but it was not to wreck any other cars.  He wanted to make sure they did not get a run on him.  By the way I think the kid has no class what so ever!

Answer 11

Haha, no chance.

Answer 12

Of course he did it on purpose. I dont think he wanted a wreck he just wanted to get a jump on the rest of the field. Thats called smart racing

Answer 13

During the post race interview, they asked Gordon about the slow start,

He said the cars back in the pack were "laying back" and he (and the other cars in the front) slowed a bit, so they couldn't get a run on him/them.

Then it just all bunched up.



"Gordon talked like it was a racing incident"

Answer 14

I really love it how that even when Kyle Busch is leading a race he still gets the flack for a wreck that happens BEHIND him.

Answer 15

hey he was first so its up to him how he restarts. Carl got a better start then Jeff . before Jeff could think about it Carl had jumped to the inside . even Jeff said that it was his fault............... i agree . its a green white checker finish . balls to the wall

Answer 16

Hey! I know! Let's blame it on the spotter!

Answer 17

This isnt the first time that Kyle has layed up on a restart causing a bottle neck, he's done it at other tracks then got a huge jump on the restart... of course other tracks arent like daytona where a little checkup will cause a huge wreck or take someone out of contention.... I totally believe he did it on purpose

Answer 18

He definitely caused the slow start intentionally..

I don't think that he necessarily wanted them to crash, but I think he did want to catch them off-guard..

I did feel for Jeff though..

Answer 19

That's retarded.  Slow restarts happen in racing, they aren't anything new.  You lay off and try to catch everyone behind you off guard so you can pull out to a quick lead.  It has been and is a legitimate strategy.  How would Kyle have any idea if he slowed up that Edwards would automatically spin Jeff out?

Answer 20

It was smart if you ask me...cause a wreck and end the race before anyone can pass you...Brilliant. The more people hate him the more i like him...Cant argue that he drove all the way from the back to win, and saved it too. Talented lil shrub.

Answer 21

What do you expect we are talking about Kyle Busch. He will DO anything for a win.

Answer 22

i think so that cheatin little dweeb with elephant ears. carl should of took one for the team and wrecked busch

Answer 23

he claims he spun his tires

Answer 24

Didn't Gordon make the slow restart famous? Kyle Busch just did what any great driver would have done. I am a huge fan of Gordon and the fact is that Carl Edwards spun him, not Kyle Busch. Carl said "It was the last couple of laps, I just didn't want to lift." Don't let your hatred of Kyle be so strong that you blame him for a wreck even while he was leading. That's bad...the leader controls the pace. Every wreck is Kyle's fault I suppose. Kyle Busch led them down slow because he is smart, it's the same thing Gordon would have done, and look how it paid off for Kyle. Sorry about Gordon, but blaming Kyle for something behind him is ridiculous.

Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver, and Kyle is a close second. Kyle just learned from the best, and did the best move possible to get the best restart he could. Gordon would have done the same thing, and I would have been happy. It was just a racing incident with him and Carl since no one was going to let up or give room that late in the race. They were all against the yellow line to begin with and Gordon came down a little so he wouldn't be hung out to dry. Kyle just did a smart move that helped him win the race, and whatever happens behind him is not up to him.

Answer 25

Kyle started that restart way off pace deliberately to try and cause a wreck. He knew what he was doing that is just Kyle Busch for you. Dirty Racer.

Answer 26

Yes Kyle also paid the guys behind him off to wreck on the last lap to win. Your son is not a NASCAR driver I bet.
