Earnhardt, Jr returns favor to Busch at Richmond???
Quote selected text Published September 7th, 2008 in NASCAR News
Midway through Sunday’s race at Richmond International Raceway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch found themselves battling for the lead - much the same way the two were in May when Busch ran into Earnhardt Jr. and neither won the race.
This time, it was Earnhardt Jr. who sent Busch spinning and out of contention for the race win. Was it payback?
“No, but it certainly is ironic,” Earnhardt Jr. said.
Busch rallied from a lap down to finish 15th, while Earnhardt Jr. ended up fourth. Busch laid claim to the top seed in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, while Earnhardt Jr. is seeded fourth.
“We got tore up a little bit there, but nothing we could help with that,” said Busch, whose spin was met by a thunderous cheer from the fans on hand. “We had to continue on and soldier on.”
Earnhardt Jr. took the blame.
“I got in too hard into (Turn) 1 and locked the left-front up and pushed in to him and wrecked him,” he said. “It was an accident. Those things seem to happen. Not on purpose, as much as I would like to take credit for it.”

- Maybe Dale Jr should try to beat Busch, not Harvick for The Chase

- ‘Car of Tomorrow’ testing moves to Richmond starting today
- Earnhardt, Jr and Busch have no hard feelings over Richmond incident
LOL as much as i wish i could say that was payback it wasnt,but jr shouldnt be taking the blame busch came down on him and jr locked the brakes up to try and avoid hitting him,but then sadler turned busch lmao ,kyle has pi$$ed off to many drivers this year dont be surprised when they start paying him back in the chase i can see him eating the wall several times so good luck shrub your gonna need it.
Ha, yeah…
he’s gonna need a lot of it…especially if that 48 team has any say in the matter.
Even though it was not JR’s fault any more than Schrub’s, He was Man enough to fess Up to the fact that he locked up the front tire and slid into Schrub, Un like when Schrub hit Jr. at the first race and acted like he didn’t do anything wrong. Classy move JR. ………. Kyle take notes!!!!!!!!!
Ehh Shrub really didn’t have anything to fess up to the first time, heck even an overwhelming majority of the fans thought that one was Jrs fault. This time unlike the first time it could have been easily avoided, if Jr wouldn’t have chickened out and hit the brakes, he would have been able to steer down, and while both cars still would have gotten some damage, not like they both got when he locked his front up.
As much as I wish that Dale did send him spinning I went back and looked at 12 frames and saw that Kyle came down on Dale and he like the good gentleman race car driver Dale is locked up the brakes to try to avoid spinning him out but dumb a## Kyle still was pissed off over his own driver mistake.What a loser. I will get 1000 copies made and make a ton in NH on them.
I love it the fans went crazy, what a great race.It just goes to show baby scrub cant handle a car as good as he thinks and I was sitting right there loving every bit of it.

I dont know what race you were watching back in may but it was plan as day kyles wheels turned to the right into jr kyle could have easily avoided doing that…as usual when it comes to a earnhardt fisha always has nothing good to say,anyway gkirb2 and howie are right jr had no reason to FESS up to anything but he took the blame when he had no reason too.
ok now evrybody is waiting to see what rowdy has to say about this lol
*cue baby sound*

Hey ROWDY now look at the points, watch him get kicked off his horse in the coming weeks.
OK since nobody understands what I was talking about I’ll explain.
If Jr would have feathered the throttle and just tapped the breaks instead of jabbing them on locking up his front tires, him and Shrub would have just body slammed (road-racing term) each other through the turn and they both would have came out unscathed.
Instead Jr panicked locked them up, took out Shrub and and messed up his front geometry.
I’m not saying Jr is at fault and that it was more then a racing accident, and I’m not saying that Shrub didn’t have it coming, I’m just saying that from a racing perspective it could have been handled differently.
Fisha695 wrote:
You call yourself a race car driver. lol lol lol.
If you think Jr. panicked you are no race car driver or even know what your talking about. We are not on a road coarse where you ride the brake and keep your foot on the gas. Jr. did just enough to get him out of shape to get back at him. He was great .
LOL LOL LOL
Im glad youll missed me, losers. Youll have been sitting here waiting waiting to see what I have to say so you can try and argue your point. LOL LOL JR is a lil (female dog) once again his inability to drive a car shows. Id rather be hit by someone on purpopse then to be hit by an idiot who cant control his car. Yet youll make all the excuses in the world for him. What I find even more amusing is that after the wreck KB was running awesome lap times, FOR EXAMPLE KB was a lap down racing to get his lap back and it took smoke forever to get catch him and pass him, and KB finished 15th. LOL LOL youll act like that is bad, ill agree its not great but after being a wrecked and going a lap down coming back to 15th place finish, thats good. So go ahead make all the lame excuses of how JR is so good and he is goin to win, BLAH BLAH there are 3 people who are in serious contention for the title at this point, based on the way they have this season and thats the 18,99 and the 48.

LOL you say panicked,its not very hard to lock a wheel up at a short track,and besides if kyle hadnt have come down and tried to cut jr off it wouldnt have happened to start with so stop trying to blame jr for kyles own mistake.
ROWDY BUSH wrote:
No Rowdy if it wasnt for the lucky dog he wouldnt have finished on the lead lap.And as far as who is in contention the top 12 is wide open right now. there are no top 3 anymore. look above at the points and you will see that.
ROWDY BUSH wrote:
Hey rowdy 3 people? umm last time i checked hes only 80 points ahead of kenseth who is 12th
KYLE18fan
You idiot, I said based on performance so far this year, there are 3 drivers who are in contention, so dont put words in my mouth. Secondly yes he did get the lucky dog and I never said he didnt either way he was still runnin (WRECKED CAR) lap times faster then SMOKE who was going for 2ND. Not sure if you noticed the but KB had to pass numerous cars to get the lucky dog. So once again he drove an awesome race to finish 15th.
ROWDY BUSH wrote:
I think your the only idiot besides Kyle on here, your the only one that calls people names, that just goes to show you and your hero have no class and that why no one likes you and your a lonely little boy.
TERSA
Dont start, with your ” oh im beside this person who says blah blah blah”.
Lets say KB is a zero with no class, guess what he is still in the points lead with the most wins this season to date, so what does that make your drivers??????? A bunch of talented punks trying to catch a zero, lol lol lol what does that say about them. I find it funny last week everyone was on the edwards band wagon now they are on the JJ bandwagon, lol lol lol edwards did real good didnt he?????? JJ got his 3rd win still 5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5, more to go before he catches KB (FOR THE SEASON). HATE ALL YOU WANT, at this point he is still in the lead.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSER
ROWDY BUSH wrote:
Umm
A 30 point lead can be made up in half a race so I wouldnt brag about that. he already shows signs of the pressure
TERESA LOL LOL LOL
So basically you have nothing to say other then the fact the points have been reset, lol lol lol no wonder your man works on a race team he needs time away from you lol lol lol.
Lets start earlier in the season when kb took the points lead, im pretty sure it was less then 30 and he STRETCHED it out, lol lol lol lol lol he might not win but so far he has dobe the best.
ATTN: JR FANS
RAYBESTOS IS HAVING A SALE
Brakes that dont lock, available for any car and any nondriving fool. JR keep on living off your daddy

Teresa,

Face it JR again showed his inability to drive by locikng up the brakes, and as he says “I tried not to hit him” if it wasnt for his last name he would be nothing

ATTN ROWDY? non driving fool how many drivers has shrub wrecked this year but blames others…
ROWDY BUSH wrote:
If your hero or zero could hold his line like the wheel man you say he is than Dale wouldn’t have to hit his brakes.LOL
Every expert analyst agrees that Kyle came down on him and couldnt hold his line.
Lets face it you blame Ron Hornaday, Carl Edwards, Dale Jr. its never Kyles fault.
CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

WHERE DO I START???????????????
LEE88-20
Guess what somke is a quitter according to hoiwe he basically gave that race up so he wouldnt give toyota or JGR the satisfaction of winning. As for championships Im sorry jr had to spend all that time in the bush series before anyone including his DAD felt comfortable putting him in a cup car.
TERESA
Have i said its never kyles fault, ummmmmmmmm no, but no matter what he says we allknow he has complete car control and if he wrecks someone on purpose we know,uinlike jr where its a toss up, of i locked up or i dint mean to, so where KB blames other pople JR blames his equipment, the same equipment your ole man works on, so whos at fault
ROWDY BUSH wrote:
you just dont get it do you?
This was payback made to look like an accident or arent you smart enough to see that?
And Kyle didnt do nothing when he was at Hendrick because he sucked, the only reason hes doing good after all these years is the TOYOTA!
Kyle couldnt even win a Busch Championship because he couldnt drive worth a crap.
yall are worse than a bunch of teenage girls. but its funny. kyle can drive. he needs to drop his attitude. jr can also drive. but he is a lil overrated. he stayed in the busch series so long beacause back in those days that wat people did. no young kid was thrown into a cup car. so that answers that. kyle needs to shut up an jus drive. which hes been pretty good bout that lately. and uh jr is not livin under his daddys name anymore. if he was then the grandstands would be budwieser red still. he doin his own thing.
FOR ALL OF YOU THAT THINK KYLE IS A WHEEL MAN YOU MUST WATCH THIS AND THEN COMMENT ON WHAT YOU SEE HERE

Complete car control? lmao watch the video of him wrecking his brother oh and the countless drivers hes wrecked this year in 3 different series give me a break complete car control

Very true.. he was actually being more mature in his interview after the race than I thought. I really thought Stewart was going to win, but Johnson won without driving dirty so congrats to him. I believe it was both Jr. and Kyle’s fault. Jr. drove in to hard and locked up his brakes and Kyle came down into him unknowingly. Stuff like that happens and you a lot of you guys seem to drag something out like this even though the drivers probably already forgot about this and are moving on. Only cry babies I’m seeing is most of you fans.

I hate to tell you but He’s a big time zero and I do get more respect when I walk around the garage area then he does. He wasnt even racing when I was working with the greatest driver ever in this sport.

That’s funny because I’ve seen more immature comments from you on this blog than any comments Kyle has said. 8 wins this season and you’re calling him a big-time zero. If you haven’t noticed he’s still a young driver and has more years of driving to go, which he will become more mature overtime. Well I’ve said my 2 cents. Conversation ended.
Rowdy busch got loose big deal.
Howie,
LOL LOL LOL LOL you get more respect, does it really make you feel better to come on here and tell everyone how mush respect you get, and who you know, and blah blah blah, get over yourself. As for him not even racing in the sport when “the greatest drivers” ever were, know you want to bash him because he wasnt born soon enough lol lol. Guess what people get old and move on there will always be a rotation of drivers.
REDDEVIL said it HOWIE
LOL LOL LOL Still a nobody, intil you come here and tell everyone what you do and who you know, this must be your outlet to make you feel better about yourself
NASCAR VICTORY LANE
Jr said, “I got in there to hard, and really just me going down in there and making a mistake”
So go ahead JR fans pull out all your youtube links and do whatever, JR said he made a mistake. KB was still turning awesome laptimes after that.
Unfortunately, You cant stand it when people like me in the media state the facts about your driver and your just like your driver immature and cant stand it when you lose but you will find out he will lose a lot more because he was losing until his little hot streak this year. And I feel great about myself, its you that does not feel good about yourself that’s why you sit on here and call everyone names and you don’t even listen when people tell you your acting like a jerk you just come back with more insults against them. You need to grow up just like your driver.
“Yee Haa Welcome to Kyles driving School where I can teach you how to take out another driver in just one non thinkin, non driving dumb a#@ pass up your a#@”
That came from you HOWIE so who throws the insults? We all dont sit here and act like your better then everyone cause your not, as for you being part of the being part of the media, some of the stuff you say on here as the comment you made above is very very very unprofessional. The media is suppose to be unbiased, and professional. FOR EXAMPLE look at jimmy Spencer when he has to interview kUrt Busch after there history, he is professional about it. What media people say behind closed doros is there own business but to come to a public forum and voice a biased opinion is unprofessional. The rest of us here are fans we can voice our opinion, the rivalry is enjoyed probably as much as seeing there drivers win. I love being a jerk, but guess what im not a jerk at work or in relation to my job.
