Gordon and Busch get into it after Coke 600
Quote selected text Published May 26th, 2008 in NASCAR News
Former Hendrick Motorsports teammates Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon had a brief conversation after the Coca-Cola 600 after Busch was apparently upset with how hard Gordon was racing him.
Busch refused to answer a question about it in his postrace news conference, saying the conversation would remain quiet. But Gordon, who finished one position behind Joe Gibbs Racing’s Busch in fourth, didn’t.
“He’s got an issue because he gave me the finger, and you know what?” Gordon said. “That’s not necessary for a guy he just didn’t like racing him the way I did.”
Gordon and Busch were teammates at Hendrick before Busch left for JGR this season.
“Kyle and I never had any issues,” Gordon said. “But I raced him hard tonight just like I did everybody. And when track position is as important as it is here, you’ve got to race every single car for every single position.
“And I wasn’t going to give anybody an inch, and I was racing for position.”

Kyle has got to learn if you come out to play with the big boys someone is going to rattle your cage once in a while.
This is a joke, right? Shrub never, ever has the right to question about how anyone races him. He better learn that he has no friends out there, and that he should not expect anyone to show him any mercy. What goes around, comes around. Ain’t karma a bitch, Kyle?
When you mess with the bull you get the horn! Ohh, but don’t race Kyle hard, because he is really the P****!
Wow. Kyle is the one racing like an idiot with his over-aggressive driving style
and someone gives him what he gives to other and he complains?
He must be best friends with Denny Hamlin
Kyle Busch is a Punt, why Gibbs hired him is beyond anyone. No one can stand being around him on or off the track.
He is Mr Jerk.
Kyle is messign with the wrong guy…there is about 3 people on the track that i wouldnt say that to…Harvick/Smoke/Gordon would all not tolerate Kyle and wreck him of he keeps whining about it…its racing Kyle…same as when you took out JR…just good HARD racing that your little whiny butt cant handle…go back to the NW series you twat waffle
Kyle has friends, he has fans! he has to, He reminds us of a few others back when racing was hard, dirty& exciting!Let us not cry! but enjoy!

That deal with Jr. was a racing incident. Seriously haven’t seen any of you complain about Kyle Busch until that wreck. He gets the job done with top 5 or 10 finishes almost every weekend.
the deal with gordon was RACING TO…get over it…im not complaing about Kyle..i dont like the guy/nor how he races…and im a JR fan and i dont think he wrecked JR on purpose….i was using that as a comparison cause its the same damn thing…Kyle was just on the opposite end of the deal and the immature brat he is, he whined about it…but to drive like that and then turn around and cry every week where someone gets in his way or races him too hard is just pathetic…get over it…
Shrub will always whine when he is on the other side of “its just good hard racing” When he is the one who is doing the pushing it is just fine and dandy.
It’s nice to see that Jeffy’s current wife lets him use his balls and doesn’t keep them in her purse like Brooke did. I like seeing Kyle a little upset once in a while. It’s good for the sport.
seems to me that gibbs crew is intent on becoming the “heels” of nascar. I dont like um but its good racing
Busch is a jerk. Period. When he wrecked jr he said “I guess I quote unquote wrecked him when he was supposed to get the win. I wish it had not happened because now I have to hear about it. This guy is a creep. Yes, he is a good driver. But when Richard Childress said he reminded him of Earnhardt Sr. the way he drove and his attitude, that was just a little much. He may drive like Sr but he behaves nothing like Sr. Busch is a cry baby, Earnhardt was just cool. Why is it ok for him to push people out of the way, such as wrecking Jr, and when Gordon does the same he whines. He has won a lot of races this year, but that will not last. He is going to cause some horrible accident on the track during one of his tantrums. It is not cute to be the 20 year old brat, when you are racing with men, who have won a lot more then he has. He needs to grow up or his days will be numbered at JGR.
Gordon should have put a foot up his @ss!!!
It looks like Kyle got his @ss kicked quite a few times in school and elsewhere, anyone ever watch his eyes in a interview?, left one especially.
It is just wierd that Stewart is the most mature one at JGR, what a circus.
Sure are a lot of good comments here and with most of them. Biggest thing Busch needs is a chat out behind the barn with a 2 X 4.
Forgot to say I agree with the comments

I bet one thing, that Stewart is embarrassed by Kyle acting the way he does, in fact I can almost guarantee it…☺☺☺
There are some that are “die hard EARNHARDT FANS” and some of us that simply Love “NASCAR!”for what it is! All of our drivers are out there to WIN, and we love all of it!
Hey — both Kyle Busch and Gordon were
responding as racers looking for the top spot — just racing. Not an incident
worthy of all this attention. Kyle is a
damm good driver as is Gordon so they
are almost destined to collide on occasion.
Just enjoy the good hard racing — all this
“nit picking” is tiresome………..

I think it is funny that some people are already putting Shrub in the same category as JG! JG is a 4 time champion, with eighty wins! Shrub has eight wins! I am not even a fan of JG but to put shrub ahead of JG is crazy!
awwwwwwwwwww poor baby
If you cant take it, dont dish it out !!!!!!!!
For my part of it he needs to get more of what he dishes out !
Amp,
I think matbe Denny and Kyle is why Tony is thinking about leaving Gibbs
Can’t stand all the cry babies there.
I am stay floored that those Kyle and Denny thinks everyone should pull
over for them. THAT’S NOT RACING, BOYS GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you missed the point or you just cant admit that little shrub is a whinner point being they were at Charlotte and he throws a fit because Jeff Gordon raced him hard.
Good on Gordon, about time someone shows the real muscle to Busch!
I am so tired of listening to that whiny butt. You are 2 faced Busch….race one way but by golly don’t no one else race me that way! The difference is…well Gordon can handle your whinny butt…so be prepared….you have no friends.
it seems to me that kyle seems to think that what he does is all right, but if it comes home to him then he’s going to get p–ed and whine and complain. one thing i noticed in the busch- jr incident, there was no whining and complaing from jr.
