Why did Kyle Busch say in an interview that Jr. hit one of his pit crew and that slowed down his pit stop??

Question

Did something happen that wasn't caught on camera?

Answer 1

I heard the comment on NASCAR Now but have seen no footage to back this up, not saying it did not happen, just haven't seen it

Answer 2

All I know about it was what Kyle said on NASCAR Now yesterday.  He made it sound like Jr. cost him he win or something!

3 STR8 N 08!!!

Answer 3

Whaaaaaa!!!

I didn't win mommy!!!!!

EVERYONE ELSE CHEATS!!!!!

CRYBABY.....

Answer 4

I have not heard this story but it doesn't suprise me one bit

that the media is not all over it because it is has to do with

Dale Jr and his superb team! Ugh! They will protect his

little butt but if this happened to anybody else, it would be getting press coverage continually!!!

Answer 5

Well they were pretty close. I believe Kyle had the spot right in front of Dale's. I am sure Dale would not have done it intensionally, if he did it at all. Maybe Kyles crew man fell while getting out of Dales way. Maybe Kyle was being his usual smart A$$ self.

I did see Denny's crew man grab a tire hit by someone else.

Dang the whole race practically sucked and Kyle didn't have a car that would run with HMS and JJ or he would have been there doing so. Perhaps if they could have run more than 10 laps at a time he and Jr both would have been up front. or iin the garage watching, who knows for sure.

Answer 6

JR was in the pits and Kyle was in kinda funny and when JR left one of Kyles guys looked to have jumped out of the way. We have Hot Pass and they showed it from Jrs channel but no one ever said anything so I don' t think anyone was hurt. I have no proof of this like a link or anything but it did happen.

Answer 7

Since Jr has shown he cannot replace Kyle at his former team by driving and has no chance to catch him in points, he reverts to his cheating methods and take out Kyles teamone way or the other.

Answer 8

yeah i heard about that also, but i heard that JR ran over a tire or somthing like that, and the tire bounced and almost hit one of Buschs pitcrew

Answer 9

i never saw that interview but it's probably just rowdy being an a*****e once again. junior never did anything to him, hendrick did. it is clear, to me at least, that kyle took this whole fired from hendrick thing really seriously. on the track, he cannot get back at rick hendrick than any other way than to do "things" to the driver who replaced him.

It's clear to me that Jr. has no feelings toward Kyle in a bad way, even after Richmond. But it's also clear that Kyle, maybe just getting his anger out, really, really, REALLY hates Dale Jr. for replacing him.

Answer 10

I saw Kyle say that last night too & I had the race on tape and went threw it pretty quick to see if I could see Junior running somebody over it and NOPE, didn't see a thing.

Kyle said "Junior ran over one of my pit guys and I had to wait for him to CRAWL OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR before he could continue out of the pits.  I really think that may have been quite an issue if the guy had to crawl out from under a car.  It would have been everwhere for all of us to see.  BS.  Kyle Busch is a baby.

Answer 11

It was hard to miss anything that happened in that pitiful race and I do not recall seeing anything about it. If it did happen, something like that is not uncommon and Kyle needs to stop his whining. The guy has 7 wins and is still whining?? That tells me all that I need to know about him. He is a great great driver but needs to understand that he can't win them all.

Answer 12

Link please

Jeez, I just wanted to see the video I haven't seen it yet.

Answer 13

ANytime that Kyle finishes out of the top 10 he whines about something. Somebody did something to him to be that far back.  He is starting up again. ANd he was being so good too.  I didn't see it happen. If it did I am sure it is not intentional.

Answer 14

maybe he said it because it happened. maybe not. i saw the same interview and he didn't sound like he was whining - i've been watching him for years, and trust me, he whines far better than that. i thought he was going over the only seemingly interesting things that happened all day... he should have included being right behind burton when those birds exploded.

and just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen. and just because he said it doesn't mean it did - he couldn't have seen it either if he was in his car - at best he heard it second-hand. and lots of things happen that aren't caught on camera, so who knows. he said it rather "matter-of-factly" if you ask me. if he really thought junior ran over one of his guys, and if he thought he did it on purpose, don't you think he would have been a little more emphatic about it?

man, anything to stir up controversy. kyle could come on and say "it was a really sunny day today" and ten people on here would complain about his "whining" about the sun being in his eyes, unless of course he won. then they'd be complaining about how toyota must be harnessing solar energy to boost their horsepower...
