General Discussion » What is really wrong with Dale Jr
Only JR knows. He's always said he does not like the COT car. And I think that is stuck in his head. Eventually he will get it and accept it. ( I HOPE ).

CONCORD, N.C. – Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch talked Monday about the on-track incident that knocked Busch out of Friday night’s Nationwide Series race at Darlington Raceway.
Keselowski didn’t elaborate on the nature of that conversation - which came after Busch called the wreck a "product of racing idiots" – when asked before the start of Nationwide Series testing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
“It ain’t no big deal,” said Keselowski, who is in his first full season with JR Motorsports. “Racing, you’re going have emotions. If you didn’t have emotions it wouldn’t be popular. I’m not really worried about it. I’m just more focused on those next few races coming up that I feel like we can run up front and win.”
The contact sent Busch’s Braun Racing Toyota hard into the wall, ending his night on lap 101 of the 149-lap race. He finished 31st. Keselowski, who went on to finish 15th, drew the ire of Busch for racing with the leaders while running a lap down.
Keselowski said Monday that he has viewed videotape of the accident but didn’t offer insight into who he deems to be at fault.
“I’ve looked at it but it's done now,” Keselowski said. “I ain’t really worried about it. I can’t get that night back.”

May 13, 2008 at 12:53 PMWay to go Brad. That's the way to handle an interview. Let KB be his usual baby self and whine. He should know what a racing idiot is. All he has to do is look in the mirror (or maybe his stupid sunglasses).

May 13, 2008 at 2:50 PMGreat interview, Brad! Wouldn't expect anything else from someone handpicked and working closely with Junior. Do yourself a favor and don't stand or race too close to Busch...the slime cascades from him.

May 18, 2008 at 4:00 AMyou people are crazy....acting like kyle is the only one that says anything about other drivers. for you fans who don't like kyle busch you all sure do hang on every word he has to say. i'd like to see you people get in a race car and get bumped from behind and see how you take it. i'm sure each and every one of you would have a few choice words for whoever did it regardless if it was a racing incident or not.

May 19, 2008 at 8:30 PMIt amazes me that it's hard racing when Busch wrecks someone but it's idiot racing when he gets it in return. Quit whining like a baby Busch! If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen.........other wards, grow up and act like an adult instead of a brat.
