7 reasons to watch the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway: No. 2 - Kyle Busch/Tony Stewart
By Mike Hembree - Associate Editor
Monday, July 06, 2009
It’s probably not possible to make a good estimate of how many fans Tony Stewart picked up Saturday night by outmaneuvering Kyle Busch in the final moments of the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway and scoring his second points victory of the season.
The frontstretch grandstands erupted in spasms of joy as Busch, the circuit's proven bad boy, tried to block Stewart's victory charge and failed. Adding to insult was the fact that Busch's spinning car wound up getting slammed by at least two others before it came to rest in a crumpled heap near the end of pit road.
Busch clearly was upset at the turn of events and went to the infield medical center only after some strong convincing by NASCAR officials. Stewart, meanwhile, was explaining how good he felt about a great run but how bad he felt about the race ending in such calamity.
You'll want to watch the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway this week to see how these two driving greats respond to what was a wacky weekend in Florida.

Jul 6, 2009 at 10:48 AM#1 Kyle is not a dirty racer you must have him confused with JR who admitted to wrecking BV during the 500 cause he was mad. Something to the tune of I was mad that BV cut down on me and forced me below the yellow line so I had to do what I had to do.
Report as AbuseI have only heard Kyle talk about wrecking someone intentionally 1 time and that was a nationwide driver after a nationwide race I think in charlotte. Yes it was Steven Wallace and that was during the heat of the moment. Kyle said something like I dont care how many cars I have to wreck we can play this game all year.
Once the green flag drops Kyle has tunnel vision the only thing he sees is victory lane. I have seen kyle nudge some people he was mad at but he hits them square not at an angle to try to wreck them. even then it was lap or two later not a race or two later.
I doubt anything will come of this. Even though I know JR fans want a Stewart v Busch rivalry because only Stewart, Gordon and Johnson have the skill to compare to Kyle even then Stewart and Gordon have already peaked and Jimmie is peaking now while kyle has not started peaking.
anyways if your looking for revenge let me save you some time. It is not coming. Kyle does not have time to sit at home and plot revenge. He is too busy leading laps trying to win races. Tony has no interest in a feud either he also is too busy leading laps and trying to win races. JR has the time though he is not doing either.

Jul 6, 2009 at 3:28 PMpost#1 MOTORSPORTSPHOTOGRAPHY.You was just on another page saying that was garbage talk by me to say Kyle Busch knows better than to mess with Smoke.That they have a good relationship and are friends and all the teams get along good. Now on this page your saying Kyle will wait for Watkins Glen to start trouble because he can get away with it there. I don't believe for one second a driver can fool Nascar at a road course anymore than any other track. Nascar's not going to be Kyle Bucsh's first concern anyway.That will be Tony Smoke Stewart! With Grubby and the boys right behind him. Aren't photographers liable for thier statements the same as broadcasters and journalists? Oh, and be respectful and professonal and don't threaten me with bodily harm. PLEASE.

Jul 6, 2009 at 3:45 PMMaybe you should read it again. I said HE MIGHT try something to get him back if he wanted to. They do have a good relationship but if an opportunity arose he sure would take advantage of it. No one is liable for anything not broadcasters or anyone else.
