LONG POND, Pa. – Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch says he has no issues with Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Talk of a rivalry between the pair heated up when Busch was asked to address the crew-chief change at Hendrick Motorsports last weekend. Busch, speaking of interim crew chief Lance McGrew, said that the incoming crew chief had “his hands full” when it came to turning around the team.

“If Junior doesn’t run well, then he’s going to be the problem," Busch said. "It’s never Junior. It’s always the crew chief.”

Busch brushed off the ensuing flurry of comments about a rivalry between the pair. He said he holds no ill will toward Earnhardt Jr., who was hired at Hendrick Motorsports in 2007, the same season in which Busch left the team and went to JGR. Instead, he said it's just people trying to create a rivalry. 

"It's just people trying to build [that] up," he said Friday at Pocono Raceway, site of Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Pocono 500. "Some of the media trying to build up stuff like that. To me, I've got no issues with Dale Jr. whatsoever. It wasn't him that kicked me out of Hendrick Motorsports, to be honest with you. It was Casey Mears. It is what it is. Junior had a strong run last weekend. It was a good start in the right direction for them."

    PPPllleeeaaassseee, Kyle Busch. It was obvious that you took a shot at another driver. Be like others, worry about your own racing team. You're a good driver...show it on the track, not with your mouth.

    You know what.....I applaud Kyle for having the sack to stand up and make a comment like that. Its what a lot of people think, he just said it. Maybe IT IS the driver and not the crew chief? Jr is a great guy, but I am not and will never be on his bandwagon.

    Jr and Kyle sat together at the driver's meeting at Dover and were seen in conversation.How's that for the great rivalry?

    I'll bet Rick has kicked himself a time or two for letting Kyle go.

    #10 I often wondered that too. I think Rick let him go because of his bad boy, temper tantrums. Rick's drivers always have some amount of class, if not the class of the field... and I'm not a fan of any of the drivers. I can and do respect their racing.
    Kyle on the other hand....needs to grow up, shut up and put up!
    Is there a rivalry? Proable. Do I care as long as JR and Kyle aren't taking out the field - not really!

    #10.. If you understood racing, you would know that rick is not kicking himself- he has made more money off of Jr., then he could ever make off a Kyle Busch...please remember, this is just a sport and it's entertainment/money making. And yes, rick did not care how great a race car driver Kyle was, or is....he didn't like his attitude and didn't want him in his organization. Kyle is still hurt by the fact that he was fired by hendrick and wants to see Junior fail....that is obvious. He acts like he is still in high school and jealous of the guy who is most popular. He is so immature.

    Kyle could careless about HMS. He left there after finishing 5th in points. He went to a great organization. He is teamed up with one of the best crew chiefs in the sport and has a great sponsor. The media nagged at him for a respond and he gave it to him. And nobody at JGR had a talk with him over what he said because he didn't say anything wrong. I use to hear Sr. and Tony say a lot worst and they use to do it every week. People always make a big deal over what is said about Dale. Wow its a good thing they don't ask other drivers their real feelings towards Dale because Im sure their are a few more who feel the same way that Kyle feels.

    I would love to know what was said at the drivers meeting.Dave Moody said Jr got out of his seat and went to Kyle and started talking. I hope that Kyle meant that Jr's fans never blame him.I know that Jr. will man up and say it's his fault,if it is.I don't believe anyone caused Kyle to lose his place at HMS.He and Mr. H were just too different,I don't think Kyle could have raced in all three series,the way he does now with JGR.

    Talk about class. I notice that 95% of the Busch comments have so many spelling mistakes that it makes one think none of them can spell or speak the english langusge.
    Kyle is a good driver but very immature. He really needs to grow up and learn to keep his lip buttoned or at least think(if he knows how) before he speaks.
    I wish Jr a lot of Good Luck and Kyle can run his mouth.

    #14 Dale may be the most popular, but what does that matter on the track? It doesn't make him a better driver. I watch for driving skills and you would have to admit for a 24 year old, Kyle is an excellent driver. Well you really don't have too and that's okay. He will race in any race he can no matter what vehicle they are racing. It is exciting to watch any driver with that much passion. Do you go beyond watching Sprint Cup? I by no means am putting any driver down, just stating a fact about Kyle.

Kyle was fired for wrecking his car and leaving the track while the crew repaired it. Do you think Jimmie and Jeff were jealous of Busch? Another thing you were wrong about.... After Busch made his remarks you said attendance would rise and TV ratings. Wrong again no sell out and lower ratings.

    I think Jr. is not being Jr.he's trying to be SR.Also the fire scared him pretty good! He need's to relax and run his own style! In order to have a rival,you have to be up front with someone week end,week out,racing back and fourth,trading off win's! Just saying you can't stand a guy does'nt make it a rival! Trust me,Jr.& cry baby(I won't talk unless I win)bush don't like each other,but that's as far as it goe's until Jr. win's a few race's!

    Hope you have a comment for #42.... In any event I have raced and built Chevy's since 1966. My Dad was a plant manager for Chevy Motor Divison in Tarrytown, NY before he retired. He helped turn the Chevy plant into Eastern Aircraft during WW II to make fighter plans instead of autos. Before he was promoted to plant manager he was an engineer and helped develope the Chevy 409.

    I hate to tell you but the early 60s 348 and 409 BBs were boat anchors. They were the least desirable motors ever made by GM with the lowest HP ratings. It wasnt till they came out with the 396 and 427 that the big HP came out.

    DALEJR is not trying to be DaleSr. No child has to live up to their fathers nor mothers fame. Look at us. We are not drivers. We all carry genes of dad and mom. So get off about Dalejr and Dalesr. And for Kyle his mouth, loose lips, never congratulate his teammates, so what he says about Dalejr. doesn't bother Dalejr. I am sure Dalejr. knows the real Kyle whereas we don't. I do know this, one driver Kyle won't touch is Kevin Harvick, lol. The more Kyle Busch is ignored by Jr Nation the least he will affect any of us. No matter what his mouth says, or what his car does, the boy is just a snob. He thinks he is the best driver, my opinion he is not. There is a difference in a smart driver, such as Jimmie Johnson than a driver who has to get between other drivers and make his way through, no matter who he forces to let him through. If the drivers stop moving over for him, and just WRECK him, that will slow him down. He thinks the tracks is all his, as he say, he waits for the next race. So thanks Kyle for that lie about you and dalejr. we all know how you feel. Your words has expressed it over and over again. Maybe you should not tell us, but ask God to remove your jealousy. You are not better than any other driver out there. You are just one, whom sometimes win.

    #48 Thanks for putting down my Dad, who worked for Chevy for 41 years. The 348 came out in 1958, not the 60's. The 409 didn't lack HP for a 1961 street vehicle, 360 HP made it feared on the streets. The 396 which was placed in the 1966 Chevelle SS and Impala SS were off springs of that development. The Beach Boys knew what they were singing about. The 409 was a classic stock car and with a change of carburetor, cam, and headers, pushed well over 400 HP. Thank you Gwen, Still4da88, and Ipopakeg. Sorry MSP I loved my Dad and Jr Loved his Dad.

    #14?? I am VERY confused about the high school and 'jealous' remark. It would seem to me the tables would be the opposite on that.. who's jealous of who (or WHO should be jealous of whom?).

    Kyle is what NASCAR is all about. JR is what Miss America is all about. Kyle wants to, and goes out to win every race, gives it his all and you'll always know if he's in a race there will be some racing to watch. If I were a racecar driver I'd certainly want to know how he does it, how he gets by with it, where the heck he has the guts to do what he does and want to be just like him! As I'd want to be like Jimmie, Jeff, Carl, Kurt and the rest of the greats. I have yet to see anything to look up to JR about, except how cool and awesome his dad was. Nice guy, probably, but he has some 'weird' stuff coming out of his mouth a lot (when he can put a sentence together). About 18 wins in 10-11 years? That's cool. Kyle should pass that this year in his 5th year?

    Let's just enjoy NASCAR.. root for 'our guy' whomever that may be.. and quit creating crapola that isn't there!

    #59, The 409 was produced up until 65. Its drawbacks were too short a stroke, only was made with 2 bolt mains, had a solid lift cam, the valve placement and the combustion chamber in the heads were all wrong. And the only way to achieve HP over 400 was with more than 1 carb. Matter of fact the motor you are talking about only could reach 425Hp with 2 4barrels. Its operating range which topped out at 6000 was limited due to the weakness of the 2 bolt mains.It wasn't till they replaced the 409 with the 396 that we had a hyd. lift cam, a better valve and combustion chamber and head design, a 4 bolt main block and a motor that could easily work in operating ranges above 6000 RPM.

    Dale Earnhardt Jr has said he is ready to take his JR Motorsports team Cup racing. With Danica Patrick threatening to bolt from the IRL when her contract expires at the end of this year to go NASCAR racing the rumor is she could land in a Sprint Cup car fielded by Dale Jr.
    GoDaddy.com currently sponsors Patrick in the Indy Racing League. They also sponsor Dale Jr’s No. 88 Nationwide car driven by Brad Keselowski - and they have sponsored Keselowski in some Sprint Cup runs for Hendrick Motorsports. A Dale Jr / Danica Patrick sponsorship deal by GoDaddy would be a perfect fit.

    I think Danica is using the threat of going over to the other side(nascar) as a bargaining ploy,(which is smart)! Her contract is up soon but did you see her face when she was bumped from the pole? She want's a win & a pole sooo bad before she goe's! I hope she get's both! A top 5 yesterday is better than she might have thought at first! The track was alot different because she was up first! She is in a great spot for a win! Nascar is a whole new ballgame! Ask a rookie football player after he's hit,and they say WELCOME TO THE N.F.L.! He find's out real quick that school & pro ball are like apple's and orange's! I would love to see her at nascar,but I think she will wait until SHE think's she has proven herself, meaning coming in first a time or two! Jimmy J. is talking about moving,so it might be a nice fit,should she decide to make a move now!

    I just saw Kyles interview about the Dover race. He said he didn't say he might have a tire problem, because he was hoping to jack up the field and cause an accident, so he could go on and win. That just about says it all where Kyles involved.Even Rusty was surprised and not to happy with that statement.

    #62 You can do your best to put me down and call me all the names you want, but when you attack my Dad this becomes personal. Is all you can do is pick apart an engine which was made 48 years ago??? If that is your plan then get it right. The 409 had solid value lifters not a solid cam shaft... all cam shafts are solid. Second the 1962 Chevy Impala 409 had 400 HP with a single Carter carburetor, duel carbs produced 425 HP, with progressive linkage, again, we are back in the early 60's. The short bore stroke of 3.5 inches worked well enough to produce the horse power. All V8's back then had two bolt main bearing caps if that is what you are talking about. There was no 4 bolt main bearing caps back then on a Chevy. With an 11.25 compression ratio the heads were able to take the pressure, so don't tell me about bad heads and value placement. Did you ever consider the rear axkle back then, which was changed on the 1966 SS 396 SS Impala and Chevelle. I own an SS 396 Chevelle which puts out 360 HP the same as the 1961 409. In case you need to know the Chevelle is a 260KW.

    J88Fan.. I saw that on the Count down before the race. Rusty Wallace really lit into Kyle about him saying he didn't want to tell them he had a tire going down (at Dover last week) because he was hoping to cause a big crash and wreck the field. He didn't even want to give his team mate a heads up on it either. They also had some things to say about how he owed the fans a statement even when he didn't win the race because the fans had sat their butts in the seats and watched the race and deserved to hear something, as well as race fans at home. None of them were in KB's corner at all. Just saying what I saw......... Are we suppose to refer to him as Superman now? lol

Well we all know what can happen on any given day while racing! They face the fear's in their on way,but having a "Puke" out there that has admitted he has wrecking the whole field on his mind is something Nascar should address NOW,before this "Moron" throw's a little fit like a child and take's a life! This is the time for the Big Boy's TO SIT THIS FOOL DOWN & HAVE A HEART TO HEART(IF HE HAS ONE) WITH HIM! He more than likely will say he was kidding if Nascar drop's a house on him, so to speak! Man,I can't believe this idiot! This has nothing to do with how good a driver he is or how many win's he has,or will have! This is life & death,and to say you would do it on purpose is INSANE!!!!

    Kyle was never allowed to fit in with all the ego at Hendricks. The best thing he ever did was join Gibbs. It's really hard for superstars to share the limelight and I'm really surprised that Jeff and J.J. even get along at all. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when their alone speaking of each other. If anybody knows about living with those type of conditions Kyle should. He did it. Junior has had problems and J.J. is saying he's willing to help but that would be a first. Kyle knows that first hand. If somebody didn't want an opinion, especially knowing that the result would be a truthful answer, they shouldn't have asked the question. Kyle gave a honest opinion and he had no anomosity in what he said, just a honest response. It's not always the crew chief, the driver, or the organization, it just could be that the clashes of egos might also be an issue. Who knows why his opinion is what it is, not me, but now we know what it is, and they got the opinion they wanted. Thanks, Kyle. Hendricks teammates are treating the new kid on the block exactly as expected.

    #82, You should have never posted again because that just showed me that you don't know what your talking about. If you know anything about motors that is, when we talk about solid cams and hyd. cams we are talking about the lifters and not the cams themselves. The 409 in the song that the Beach Boys made popular was based on a 409 with a 4 speed and a deuce quad which means two four barrel carbs.And your wrong when it comes to 2 bolt mains because 4 bolt mains were introduced in 65. The heads or compression ration have nothing to do with the head pressure like you said. I have built 396s and 427s wit compression ratios up to 13-1.The scalloped heads in the early 348s and 409s were not the best design due to the placement of the valves and the design of the combustion chamber. And I don't know if you know but kw means kilowatts and means nothing. you must have got that out of a dictionary because we never use that term ever. You might own a Chevelle but I know my motors and can build them with my eyes closed. I build big blocks that can run 7s in the quarter in a 1700 lb dragster without juice.
