Kyle Busch takes the blame – sort of – for multicar crash at New Hampshire

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch finished seventh in the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

LOUDON, N.H. – Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch, who finished seventh in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, took a conciliatory tone about his role in the big accident involving eight drivers.
Busch got into the back of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing’s Martin Truex Jr. on a lap 175-restart, sending Truex spinning in front of large pack when Truex checked up behind the Hendrick Motorsports car of Dale Earnhardt Jr. that had spun its tires.
Emotions ran high after the wreck, with both Truex and Red Bull Racing’s Brian Vickers saying Busch could probably have avoided the contact. Busch said he regretted the accident, while stopping short of taking full responsibility.
“The 88 [car of Earnhardt Jr.] spun his tires on the restart, I went to choose a lane, went to the middle and the 42 [car of Juan Pablo Montoya] and I got together a little bit," Busch said. "That pinched me with the 1 [car of Truex] and I spun the 1 [car] out and, it was just mayhem from there. I hate it for all those guys.”
Busch blamed the accident partly on the chaotic nature of NASCAR’s new double-file restart procedure for Sprint Cup, which made for closer racing at New Hampshire than the track has customarily produced.
“Restarts are hectic, man,” Busch said. “Everybody is fighting for every inch that’s out there because it’s so hard to pass with these cars – if you get it done right now then you can kind of single-file out for a while and then you don’t have to worry about much.
“The sooner you can get everything done – the quicker, the better, the more you’re by yourself.”
Crew chief Steve Addington defended his driver, who ran well at a track where the team struggled last season.
“That was just a racing deal,” he said. “Double-file restarts right here, somebody checks up and doesn’t go, somebody’s got to go somewhere. We could have got hit from behind and turned around, too, so that’s just a product of what we’ve got here. …
“They can point the fingers all they want too but he did what he needed to do to keep from running into the 1 car square and just picking the rear tires up off the 1 car when all that happened, and kept us from getting turned around. So that’s just part of that restart there and when the 88 [car] didn’t go.”

Jun 28, 2009 at 10:02 PMIf you watch the replay in slow motion you will see all had space between them after the spun tires. But Kyle decided he wanted to take advantage of the slow cars and shot up the middle when there was not enough room for him to go. Instead of lifting he wanted to go through the middle and pass them, but there was no room. Kyle's mistake plain and simple.

Go for it! lol That's fine with me!!! This Jr. fan can handle it! I thought it was just a racing incident but I was wrong! I'm Sorry that Jr. spun his tires and caused all those driver's to wreck.

Jun 28, 2009 at 10:27 PMGwen, hmm. No that is not right. It was the 88 with the 1 and the 18 on the inside. When Dale spun his tires he went toward the line and Martin followed leaving a hole for Kyle to go up the middle. but it did not work out that way. And drivers cannot tell if the car in front of them is spinning their tires.

Jun 29, 2009 at 4:24 PMMartin was behind Junior and he thought it was Kyle's fault. Kyle Petty said Junior did not cause the wreck. Kyle Petty said Kyle Busch did not cause the wreck. Kenny Wallace said Junior did not cause the wreck. Kenny blames the double file restart. Jimmy Spencer said it was not caused by Junior, and he also said it was caused by Kyle Busch. Kyle Busch apologized for causing the accident. (I know, I could not believe it either.) How can anyone be so adamant in saying it was caused by Junior? Yes, Junior spun his tires, but from my vantage point there was time and room for Kyle B to have checked up. He chose not to. He was, by Jimmy Spencer’s words, trying to go 3 wide, he was impatient, he needs to use better judgement. The jumping the restart is a habit with Kyle and though he is making a legal move (most the time), sometimes it is going to bite.

Jun 29, 2009 at 4:30 PM#28, I have to chuckle...I'm not a Jr. fan, as a matter of fact, if I was, I wouldn't be so sore about that dust-up yesterday. I'm a Burton fan, so obviously I feel we were crapped on pretty big yesterday, after JB drove into the top 10. Busch put his car where it did not belong, and if Junior DOESN'T make moves like that, then it's because he's smarter than Kyle, and I applaud him for that, 88 fan or not. Jamming your car in the middle of a 3 wide when there's a backup on a restart and causing a large wreck is NOT something to be bragged about for KyBu. I know that's news to you, but bonehead moves aren't bragging material.

It is the best marketing plan around. The bad boy guitar smashin, jr trash talkin, helmet throwin' field wreckin' driver of NASCAR. Everybody wants Kyle because he adds action to NASCAR and he wins. I am sure RCR can do without that some of that action Mark Martin can win, but wins with character and respects the rest of the field. Kyle represents his generation of entitlement and drives like he is entitled to the entire track. Too bad there are 42 other cars on the track. Maybe the others drivers should drive without a care. Hey its just money and cars. Lets keep wrecking. But thats racing...right?

Jun 29, 2009 at 11:21 PMKyle just has the wrong last name. Much like when President Bush was in office, everything that went wrong was blamed on him. When in doubt, BLAME BUSH/BUSCH! Clearly, the incident started with the 88! Why can't Junior Nation just accept/admit it when Dale makes a mistake? I don't understand living in constant denial.

Jun 30, 2009 at 8:16 AM#64 Everyone out there wants to win, if not, then why are they out there? Difference is guys like Mark (does anyone doubt this man's passion), JB, and Matt Kenseth have, and in fact exercise wisdom along with their passion and drive on the track. Severeal other guys besides KyBu probably would have done the same thing. I believe Carl & Robby Gordon are two of those; both guys have immense talent behind the wheel, but lack good judgment at times. Not letting the marbles down below override the marbles upstairs is they key to being a driver who earns respect and one who doesn't.

Jun 30, 2009 at 8:51 AMThe double file restarts are here to stay. I heard about changes at Martinsville, and Bristol. The race starts out as a double file restart to begin with. After 15-20 laps cars are already going a lap down so if there is a caution the next start is a double file restart with the laps cars on the inside. How many of us have seen races where there are more cars a lap or two down then on the lead lap? This was done for the fans, lets enjoy it and let the best car win.

Jun 30, 2009 at 9:50 AMGo get 'em Kyle! Sorry you have to be involved in these posters 'personal issues'.. you just keep up keeping up! We know you're there to win and drive your heart out.. that's what we want to see. After 14 races, all the wrecks that have happened we know who and where the talents lie in 'taking care of their cars'. Unfortunately sometimes you get someone up front that shouldn't be there and you never know what will happen. Keep on taking the blame for everything Kyle.. doesn't detract from your talents at all. Just don't go 'crazy' like some drivers (remembering Daytona and a pretty serious 'error in judgement' and about 9 cars destroyed). Looking back on my tapes I see about 40 wrecks in 11 races and, hmmmmmm, Kyle was nowhere around them, but OH WELL, they're 'sorry', they 'apologize', they're NOT to blame.. and I agree.. it's RACING, love it or leave it! GO KYLE!!

Jun 30, 2009 at 10:11 AMKyle busch is a friggin moron just like his fan motormouthphotofagrophy! Brian vickers said it best "STUPID FOREVER" Kyle is classless,and has no talent,what he has is called being too stupid to know ones limitations! Which on occasion works but mostly wrecks himself or others. Get a clue Kyle!! Im 100% sure you may win 200 times but theres never a championship in your future. So you can start pouting now. If it wasnt for good equipment you wouldnt even have as many wins as you do! Just ask your brother who does have some talent about inferior equipment.

Jun 30, 2009 at 10:42 AMWell only an idiot like you would say such a stupid remark like you just did. Kyle will have plenty of Championships. Good equipment or bad equipment makes up just a little bit of the equation. That's like saying the only reason Jimmie has won 3 Championships is because he has good equipment but cant drive. You are a joke and cant handle it that your driver cant win.

Jun 30, 2009 at 10:47 AMI haven't read all the comments, just too many. But you know, when I raced years ago, and IF there was a constant trouble maker who didn't respect others, and took the "it is just racing" attitude. We took care of him. IF then, he didn't get the drift, we took care of him again, AND as many times as it took for him to LEARN respect. - - - Put the shoe on the other foot a few times, you would be surprised how quick his restart strategy would change . . . . . For the good of ALL.

Ripped KB pretty good for his imaturity and lack of respect for everyone. How he treats other drivers, the media, his own crew and others. Now if NASCAR and Gibbs would grow a pair and call him out on it.

Jun 30, 2009 at 2:31 PMI agree with #4. yes hate me if you will but my dale junior friends, the good ones anyways, also agree that Dale did have a play in it. This is how it was. Junior spun his tires, which caused a back up, Kyle was behind him, and checked up....then contact was endured.
Report as AbuseNo I do not like Kyle Busch nor do I care for him in anyways, BUT I calls them the way I see them and that's how it happened. There were two people at fault or rather contributed to the cause of the big one at New Hampshire, that being Junior and Kyle Busch. THat's what it showed on the replays, and that's what it is.

Jun 30, 2009 at 4:40 PMDoes anyone remember the other wrecks at New Hamshire Sunday? Didn't think so, Kyle was concentrated on points knowin he didn't have the best car. So why would he wreck anyone on purpose, takin a chance to hurt his own car. Fact is, there was an opportunity presented, he went for it. It didn't work according to plan, and he has acknowledged that.Busch bashers will bash no matter what. Iam a dedicated Kyle Busch fan since rookie of the year '05, but I cheer for good races no matter who they are. Jimmie Johnson slammed Kurt Busch at infineon, with a stupid move, he admitted it and all was forgivin.How many comments did that news article get.....4.wow
