In case you missed the Truck race in Kansas today. There apparently was an altercation re: Richard Childress and Joey Coulter Throw Punches At Kyle!

Gotta love that story as a diehard anti-Busches fan. I never root actively against anyone or any team in sportscar or F1 racing, want my teams to do well but not gonna hope for a wreck or breakdown just to move up in the field; but I actually find myself hoping that either or both Busches blow engines or get blocked in their pit stall about every time I catch a nascar race. Have hoped a slow driver got under one of them on a road course and spun them out but always off into the gravel, don't need people getting hurt (well on track, getting your face punched in in the pits is fair game).
Actually I will admit I've rooted against Robby Gordon at times, but that's for the same petulant nonsense the Busches seem to like to do, but at least Gordon leaves it on the track most of the time. |

You know, he said he was a changed man. That lasted until like....Charlotte. I like Kurt though and defended Kyle alot in the past, but lately, they're doing nothing to win people over.
The bright side is that there will always be someone more booed than JPM, because he doesn't deserve the senseless booing (racism?) from the fans at the track. |

Apparently Childress landed a couple of punches on Busch's face and shoved him down. Props to Busch for not fighting back against the 65 year old Childress. He could have pullled a Pedro Martinez who fought back against a 72 year old Zimmer but didnt.

Let me guess Childress wil get a $1000 fine and that's it. They should ban him for the rest of the season.

Ok, now that more of the story has leaked out, it seems that Childress went well out of line attacking someone from behind when he (Kyle) was headed somewhere (his coach? Hauler?). Yes, Busch does hit drivers on the cool down laps, but the irony is that Harvick, an RCR driver, does it just as much.
Seriously, the fact that RC wouldn't even give an interview about this makes him look even worse. |

Cheap shot or not from Richard, I'd be willing to bet that just about everyone in all three series have wanted to beat Kyle's ass at some point. Seems that Richard has just gotten tired of his shenanigans.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDuttuq_Noo ^Granted, what was shown on Sportscenter last night looked very tame from both Kyle and Joey. From this, Kyle had absolutely NO REASON to go rub someone on the cool down lap, IMHO. I think Richard just snapped and probably should be punished. Maybe, just maybe, Capt. Snothead will think twice about knocking into another RCR car. |

sometimes people need a bit of a smack around the ears to keep them grounded

Interesting take. I have to say I like the idea.

pfft how long do you need to put up with childish behavior on the part of Kyle Busch before you are allowed to smack him one?
My dad once told me "you need to have an accident early in your driving career, otherwise you get too cocky and when you do have an accident you will kill yourself". maybe someone should have given Kyle a clip over the ear a lot earlier |

Mr Childress should have had one of his staff do the work. You know the type, no neck, wide body, strong as an ox. And knows how to smackdown
Seriously... Mr Busch picking on a pensioner... C'mon |

^Interesting statement from Richard. I hope he thinks a couple of shots at this jerk were worth $150K.

And for the record, I don't think this will be the last time someone takes a shot or two Kyle. |

The bad thing is I think this will convince Kyle he did NOTHING wrong both on and off the track. “We’ve concluded that the driver of the No. 18 truck, Kyle Busch, did nothing to provoke or to cause the reactions that, in our opinion, would have violated probation,” Helton said. “He did nothing that would have warranted the actions of Richard Childress.” While that doesn't say Helton feels Kyle's actions on track were ok, no mention of the on track actions being over the line, but not deserving of off track reactions, makes NASCAR seem they don't really care about endangering another's life only about endangering his marketable face.

I love how this is considered "detrimental to stock car racing." It's like the big ups at NASCAR have never been to a local short track.

You hit on a sad part of their (NASCAR's) "new direction"; they are doing just about everything they can to distance themselves from the "short-track" crowd and mentality.
