THAT'S RACIN'
Don't blame Kyle Busch
By Reid Spencer,Sporting News NASCAR Wire Service, May 5

RICHMOND, Va. -- Don't blame Kyle Busch

Dale Earnhardt Jr., (88) leads Kyle Busch (18) to the start finish line in the closing moments of the NASCAR Crown Royal 400 Sprint Cup auto race at the Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Va., Saturday, May 3, 2008. The two got tangled in turn three later in the same lap.

Kyle Busch explains what happened when he and Dale Earnhardt Jr. got together


Richmond Results

Don't blame him for running Dale Earnhardt Jr. into the Turn 3 wall Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, that is.

You can blame him for running his mouth if you want to. You can blame him for dredging up old issues and providing ammunition to the armies of Junior Nation, but you can't blame him for trying to win the race.

That's what Kyle Busch does.

You can blame Busch's Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin for the wreck that cost Earnhardt the race, if you're so inclined. Crushed by the disappointment of a cut right front tire -- after leading 381 of the first 382 laps of the Dan Lowry 400 -- Hamlin stopped his No. 11 Toyota in a no-parking zone, against the wall in Turn 4, and caused the caution that gave Busch a shot at Earnhardt.

Having taken the lead from Hamlin on Lap 383, after the cut tire hobbled the race's dominant car, Earnhardt began to pull away, until Hamlin parked on the racetrack. Less than three laps after a restart on Lap 396, Busch and Earnhardt drove hard into Turn 3, with Busch's No. 18 Toyota to the inside of Earnhardt's No. 88 Chevy.

By then, those of us filing on tight Saturday night deadlines already had written the first three paragraphs of our "Earnhardt breaks drought" stories. The symmetry was marvelous. Junior was going to snap a winless streak of 71 races at the track that gave him last Cup win three days short of two years ago.

Post Sprint Cup Race Press Conferences


Like Father, Like Kyle Busch
By Greg Engle,Editor Cup Scene Daily, May 5

Although I jumped out of perfectly good airplanes thousands of times in my years in the military only once did I participate in something called a BASE jump. That’s a ‘sport’ where you jump from a fixed object such as a building, cliff, or in my case a very tall radio tower in Kansas.

Kyle or Junior? Who’s Attitude Will You Claim?
By Amy Hair,Senior Columnist,Cup Scene Daily, May 5

So, the entire Junior Nation was, and may still be, up in arms after Saturday night’s race at Richmond…Dale Earnhardt, Jr. was robbed of a win! And it was Kyle Busch that took it away! True? It depends on who you ask I suppose.
