CONCORD, N.C. – 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.”

    Jeff has the right to race as hard as need be. Kyle is the big baby, if he can't handle it, maybe he should go home. Yes he has been doing fairly good this year but he is still no team player and needs to grow up! Please...flipping someone the finger just cuz they are racing him so hard. Whaa Whaa Whaa!

SO!!!!!....This issue should be a pretty FASCINATING gauge as to just how deeply the herd hates Kyle Busch at this point in time.

    What he's upset about is the little TuRD flipping him off,for racing him hard?Thought thats what drivers were paid to do.

    Jimmy Spencer said it best on Nascar Victory Lane. As a 4 time champion, Jeff Gordon has "earned" the right to race his competitors hard". He went on to say that Hamlin and Kyle should take notice of that. I've never seen 2 drivers that have whined so much for being raced hard when they both race others hard, although reckless most of the time. And they must get together to see who can come up with the most "threatening" quote of the week. Fist it was Kyle with "you mess with the bull and you will get the horns" and then Hamlin with his "You throw a rock, I’m going to throw a concrete block back". GROW UP both of you. You aren't in grade school anymore and this isn't the playground. You would think that the "family oriented" Gibbs family would do something. After all, they couldn't hire Dale Jr. last year because of Budweiser, my goodness, that would never fit their image of good Christian family. I guess it's better to have 2 punks as part of their "family".

    When are these young drivers, Ky. Busch and D. Hamlin for example, going to learn that the sport that they are participating in is called racing. The green flag means GO and the checkered flag means RACE OVER. Unless they are shown the move over flag or the caution flag they are racing. No matter what position, they are racing. They could be racing for 42nd position. No matter, they are racing. Nuff said.

    Actually 'grandamgt Russell', didn't Budweiser drop Junior this year? So that couldn't be the reason Junior didn't go to JGR now is it? PERSONALLY, I always SUSPECTED that when Junior was shopping around to pick where he wanted to go in 2008, Gibbs shot him straight and confessed that they were switching to Toyota...... and SO Junior, fearing a backlash from some of his more narrow-minded fans, crossed Joe Gibbs Racing off of the list and signed over at the Robot factory of HMS to be in a chevy.

    As for Kyle and Denny being hypocrites for whining about drivers racing them hard when they race others hard, I can probably agree..... BUT!!! I'd say every single driver in the garage is guilty of the same thing at some point! Imagine being Kyle and being told by "veteran" drivers how and when he should race hard, and THEN those same "veteran" drivers do the same thing to him! AND what about the hypocrisy of some of the fans here???? The ones screaming and crying about Kyle racing too hard and wrecking junior.....AND NOW they are saying conflicting things to Kyle like... "It's called RACING, GET OVER IT". Blah, blah, blah, etc, blah...... Who cares.... This why my focus is on what happens on the track and the exciting things that these "hated" drivers are doing. The rest is just a comedy show.....

    Kyle Busch is doing better than most because NASCAR wants it that way. Other drivers are NOT upset with KB because he is doing better than most....but, because he gets away with things that no one else is allowed to get away with....once NASCAR insures that the big "TOY" gets a championship, everything will get back to normal....and for U anti JG fans.....he'll retire with more money than you will dream of having and merely laugh at KB...all the way to the bank!!!

Kyle will go through his entire career alienating the really class professionals in the sport. He really would fit well in Formula One, where egos rule.

    So, how do you all think Kyle would react to getting the finger while trying to pass a guy at the end of the race for position?? He would make a huge scene and whine and point fingers. Jeff is a great driver, as Kyle is proving himself to be also. But Kyle needs to deflate that head of his. He needs to learn that stepping back will only make him better. Theres a reason he fits in so well at JGR. Hes just like the other two guys he races with. All these guys whine when things dont go their way, but at least the Hendrick drivers are respectable on and off the track!!

    Anonymou, I am so glad that you see the hype about Kyle Busch because NASCAR has had a downterm and allow KB to get by with any and everything. He deliberately hits other drivers at every race, and they cow down because they never know what NASCAR is going to do. They squashed Junior's agressive driving early on in his career because they didn't intend for him to drive like his dad. I am not a Jeff Gordon fan, and heaven knows he has whacked enough drivers on the track, but I'd give him a gold star if I could for mixing it with that arrogant little jack@**. If you get the horns if you mess with the bull, what do you get if you mess with a jack@#*?

Jimmy Spence has a big mouth and does nothing but double talk. He changes his opinions like the wind depending on the driver. I love to watch the RACING and could care less bout anything else. So get a life would ya and keep your mouths shut. Kyle or someone should give Jr. driving lessons so Jr. nation quits there dam whining already. Get over it Kyle is gonna kick all there asses at the rate he is going so move on already to something else. Not all racers are prim an proper pansies. Thank God for the JGR bunch-makes it fun.

    grandamgt Russell and Worm Dirt--Budweiser didn't "drop" Junior. Junior wanted sponsors that would allow him to sell his merchandise to fans of all ages. Junior said all along he wanted to drive a Chevy.

    Now getting to "Rowdy"--it's okay when he races others hard, but they can't race him hard. He needs to grow up or leave. I'm hoping he will go to F1. Good riddance!

    Now here's something NASCAR fans can think about: Junior is considering moving his Nationwide team up to Sprint Cup racing next year and wants some experienced drivers. Do you suppose his friend Tony might be driving for JR Motorsports next year?

    I never said Budweiser "dropped" Junior. I said Bud wouldn't fit with the Gibbs "family" of Sponsors, words from JD and Joe Gibbs. Bud couldn't go with him to HMS because HMS already had sponsor committments through 2009 so they had to part ways, (the contract with Bud was up anyhow). As for Pearl Roll, you tell all of us that if we have an opinon to keep it to ourselves. Take your own advice and if you don't want to read the comments, don't click on them!!!! Talk about stupid comments...........you went on and on and on

    I enjoyed this race more than any other the whole season because it was not a runaway BUSCH race. He runs all over everyone and shows absolute total disrespect for the safety of others and/or Nascar rules and gets away with it race after race. Yet he wants to complain because someone races him too hard. Why doesn't he just get out on the track all by himself and race around - that way no one else will "bother" him and he will win every time.

    You have got to be kidding me. I don't think Hendrick's frustrations have anything to do with letting Kyle Bush go; their frustrations have to do with getting their cars where they need to be; and define out shined Anonymous; Junior is third place in the points; not even 140 points out and has managed to do that without winning a race. I'd say that Rick Hendrick is happier every day he made the choice to rid himself of KB!

    grandamgt Russell--If JGR is so "Christian", then why does it let its drivers accept the Budweiser pole awards??? Petty has never, to my knowledge, accepted a Bud pole award because he promised his Momma he would never take money from an alcohol sponsor. I don't like either Busch BOY. Both act like spoiled brats. Kyle's irresponsible ways got him released from HMS. Junior's leaving DEI was the last nail in Kyle's coffin at HMS. HMS knew it would have a mature, responsible driver in Junior. Apparently Kyle must tape the races and listens to the "motor mouth" announcers and believes what they say about him. I wonder when he's going to need a new helmet to fit that big head he's getting!

    if you honestly think Toyota is "buying" the championship or that NASCAR wants them to win the championship so they do anything to help then you have serious issues. Lets look at the teams that had Toyota's last season....where was the help for them? If i recall they didn't do too well. Perhaps it's just JGR is above the competition and it is because of there work and dedication to be champions. Quit coming up with conspiracies as to why your favorite driver isn't winning. Maybe they just aren't winners to begin with.

Michael even did better for awhile, but he couldn't drive a peg up his @#$, much less a car.However, he made an occupation out of cheating---but we wouldn't think that Gibbs would have needed any incentive to go to Toyota after making his fortune off apple pie, Chevrolet and football in AMERICA! But of course,we all have serious issues to think that NASCAR might be inconsistent

    is it that far of a stretch to have a car company that is capable of building better equipment than an American car company? And more horsepower means that toyota is obviously building a better engine. Chevy and Ford and Dodge can all do the same but guess what? They simply don't have the technology. And do you know why little miss emily? cause american car manufacturers are garbage. bottom line. don't have to be a car salesmen to know that. there is this little thing called research and development. American can companies should look into that and maybe they will learn a few things. Your argument is bunk but tell yourself whatever you need to to be able to sleep at night. everything is a big conspiracy to you just because your driver isn't winning. nothing i can do for you there. email him and tell him to ask Kyle Busch for directions to victory lane.

I don't know what part of the country you live in, but IN MY CAVE things are a bit skewed--high prices, factories closing, etc. Also, I haven't made a big hoopla about founding an organization for American stockcars on the beaches of Daytona and made billions off of it either. Obviously, for me to survive, even in my cave, I have to buy what I can, but you would be surprised at what I don't buy---depending on its origin.Just because that's the way it is does not make it right.

    if you would like a little lesson in economics Emily just hit me up. I'll be happy to explain to you why the world works as it does. but as far as i'm concerned this is a RACING website and whether foreign cars or American cars it is still racing. So back to the racing issue of you thinking Toyota is buying the championship. All teams have the ability, maybe not the means, to learn new things to improve on building engines. Toyota is just better at it. So I'm guessing that if you and I had the same job to do and the same tools to do it, but I somehow did it better and faster than you and therefor received more "compensation" I would be labeled a "cheater". But in fact I just know how to use the tools and information better than you and succeed.

    Emily..i'm not trying to fan flames here or pick on you, but this toyota vs. america MISUNDERSTOOD debate REALLY bothers me!...let me ask you a question...let's say an inventor somewhere came up with an adaptor that would fit on YOUR car's engine...that would magically TRIPLE the miles per gallon that you get...essentially taking $4/gal gas and making it $1.34/gal...How would you feel about that?? Pretty GOOD huh? NOW LET'S ASSUME that the inventor of this adaptor wasJAPANESE!...Are you going to stick w/$4 a gallon gas or are you going to realize that american capitalism and the FREE MARKET helped to produce this AND we are ALL better for it?? If Japan invented the wheel, would you refuse to use it? Fear of Toyota in Nascar is full-on unapologetic ANTI-Capitalism...It's undebateable. I'm sorry. Go back to hating Kyle for the size of his ears or his attitude, but leave Toyota out of it! As a wise man once said "Resentment at others success is UNAMERICAN."

    Boys, we'll shelve this until we hear more on the extra horsepower given to Toyota and see what's better(or whose termed a cheater!). Let's see where greed fits into your capitalism--anyway, I've paid my share of taxes, so I'm entitled to my opinion the same as you two. Worm, I'll wait and see who's going to be able to do anything with gas prices---don't think you should use that example, Mr. Man--that's part of what I'm complaining about. But, when the Japaneses get me gas for $1.34 a gallon, I'll concede---don't think that will happen!

    you are an idiot emily. its called an example. and all you are complaining about is someone being able to do a better job than your team. the horsepower isn't "given" to toyota. toyota builds a better engine which leads to more horsepower. end of story. i don't see every toyota running up front so hey it must be because kyle is a good driver as well. good driver + good car = WINS and thats the bottom line

    Gee, I thought I heard Rusty Wallace say on National T.V. that the other drivers very complaining asbout NAscar giving the Toyotasd more horsepower and he didn't know what the outcome of that would be. Guess you didn't hear that with your head in the sand. And Chris, I do know what an example is, but Worm and I have hashed before, and I think he understands the joke-you however are the idiot and the only thing worse than an idiot is one who thinks he knows everything. Go buy a Toyota and do not respond to this because I'm sure everyone else is tired of this S#@*!!

    I am neither a Gordon or Busch fan, but any driver has the right to race as hard as he possibly can. Busch needs to grow up. Ever since he was held back from cup racing because of his age, he seems determined to prove something. This past week's triple race debacle was evidence of that, and he failed miserably.
