Tony Stewart says that he spoke with Kyle Busch Tuesday to make sure that the Joe Gibbs Racing driver was doing well following Saturday's final-lap crash during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

The Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner/driver said he first wanted to make sure that Busch was OK before discussing the incident that occurred between the pair as they battled for the lead on the final lap. After contact between them, Busch spun into the wall, then onto Kasey Kahne's car and then across the pack of cars, creating carnage as Stewart took the lead and the checkered flag. Busch exited the track without comment.

"When something like that happens, you want to make sure that both guys are on the same page with what happened, and we definitely were," Stewart said. "I mean, there was no question on either one of our parts of what happened. I mean, we were instantly on the same page with it. It's just part of racing. But it was something that happened before that phone call even happened, and I've mentioned it to Kyle and even kind of laughed about it was the fact that everybody has made such a big deal about this all of a sudden happening.

“A good friend of mine reminded me of the very first TV race, the very first 500 that they showed on national TV, and it was Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough, same type of incident on the backstretch for the win. What happened this weekend, what happened at Talladega [with Carl Edwards flipping], none of this is new, and I think it's our responsibility to educate everybody that, 'Hey, this isn't something that this is the first time this has happened. This is something that's been going on for a long time.' There's little differences here and there about how the accident happened, but David Pearson and Richard Petty coming off of Turn 4 and both of their cars crashed and who could get it started and get it limped across the start/finish line to win."

Stewart says the only variable that has really changed in the nature of the restrictor-plate races is how many cars are involved in an incident. While it used to be two, now it's more because drivers are racing in such tight packs.

"Kyle knew that my job was to get to his quarter panel, he was trying to move up to defend his spot, and nobody in his position would have just stayed there and let somebody drive back by him," Stewart said Wednesday. "You've got to do something, and he wasn't trying to wreck us. He was just trying to make me make a move to slow me down. It was good to have that conversation with him yesterday. I was glad he wasn't hurt.  And I got a chance to see Kasey last night and make sure he wasn't hurt, as well. It was good to touch base and make sure we were all on the same page, which we were."

    I think that was good of Tony to check up on the other driver's and to touch base to make sure that everything is going to be okay with them before going into the next race. I think Tony Stewart's intension is to let fans know what he is doing off of the race track (especially about this particular racing incident) or he wouldn't have done the interview. Everyone has a right to voice their opinion.

    I agree with #15. Everyone views the same incident differently. Either you like Tony or you don't. That's your right in this free country. Personally, I think he's one of the best drivers on the circuit, and a class act. Keep on winning the races. He didn't have to apologize or check on the other drivers, but when you are leading in the points, every move you make is scrutinized closely and reported on. The wreck happened because both Kyle and Tony were doing what they get paid to do. Get over it. Go Smoke go!

    I have heard driver's talking about playing phone tag with other driver's for years after a racing incident. One driver doesn't want another driver going into a race mad with him. This is one way of taking care of things off of the track, instead of on the track. And it was good of Tony to make sure the driver's were ok after a crash like that.

    Number 25: HUH? I live just a few hours north of Chicagoland and it is supposed to be beautiful here this weekend. Just supposed to rain tomorrow night and Friday morning. Saturday is supposed to be in the 70's and low humidity and dry. Sunday good too. - - - Whoops, just looked at their weather and doesn't look so good for Saturday down there does it? Too bad they couldn't get them up to some dirt track up here or maybe even the Milwaukee mile. Maybe by Saturday afternoon it will clear up.

    MSP, where are you getting YOUR forecasts? Friday it's supposed to be 85 and only a 30% chance of Rain. Saturday, it's supposed to be 83 and a 30% chance of rain, and Sunday is supposed to be partly cloudy.

    Of course, forecasting the day's weather can be difficult, and forecasting 3-4 days ahead is almost pointless sometimes, but this is a pretty similar forecast to what I have seen for the speedway over multiple places.

    Tony is who made me a NASCAR fan. I love his passion for the sport, I love how he opens his heart to others. He has always been a selfless man. I loved his attitude and kinda miss the old Tony even though I also love the new Tony. Regardless, I am a Tony Stewart fan for life. Because of Tony, other drivers are beginning to speak their mind more often and not be so scripted. I like Kyle cause does things that reminds me of Tony in his younger years. Kyle will mellow out, just like Tony did. It may take awhile before we notice the change, possibly another 10 years but he will mellow. Congrats to Smoke and the whole #14 team for such a great win at Daytona.

    #39, from the Weather Channel and also get it from MSN, of course. - - - Partly Cloudy. High 78F. Winds NW at 11 mph. Air Quality: Good, UV Index: 8
    Precipitation 0%. That is from MSN.- - -The Weather Channel says: High 77 degrees, low 54; Sunny, precip chance - 10%. All three Green Bay stations report very close to this for OUR area, slightly cooler in Green Bay. Sunday more of the same, chance of rain late. - - - Beautiful weather here in God's Country. - - - Unfortunately, you missed what I said in MY post as you usually do with all posts and then see RED on one word and proceed to pound your keys with snide remarks and obscenities toward the real people on here.

NSCS qualifing is set for 8:30 PM so the rain only comes into play this evening as far as setting the field goes. What a waste of posts talking about rain.

    If Kyle Busch could just talk to reporters and behave as Smoke said he did on the phone, his fan base would quadruple. I'm an ex-busch fan who got tired of being disrepected by his inability to talk to reporters and give his side of the story. But then, when he does talk, he says inflammatory things that make him look like a sore loser and like a 5th grader, so maybe he is right in zipping it up. At least he made the race exciting.

    It's interesting how all the Kyle bashers think! If you would bother to listen to the the man, he always takes responsibility when he causes a wreck. And yes he does call other drivers to apologize. The Dale Jr.,Jeff Gordon biased Nascar media just doesn't always report it that way. I don't think he will try anything aginst Tony next race. They used to be teammates afterall. But if they end up in the same position again, they are both going to try to win! That's racing. Remember what Dale Sr. said: "Second place is the first loser!".

Have to admit having the so called same equipment how Kyle had 8 wins and Tony 1. Now he moves back to Chevy and he is the points leader.

    # 51 What Dale said is the same thing my dad told me when I was a kid,so that's nothing new! I often use that line(which is a very good line) everytime I came in second in anything! Again, Dale SR. and that other guy's name should'nt be used in the same sentence! Did you ever notice why that guy get's bashed so much? I't not because he is a sport,champion,fun to talk to or be around! I think he started out wanting to be the one people love to hate,and it got out of hand and he does'nt know how to stop it! He has alot of growing up to do & I'm not sure he has it in him! Look at Joey & Brad,they have plenty of fan's and they started out 180 from that other guy! He made his bed and now he does'nt want to sleep in it! When other driver's do something we don't like we bash them too,but it's not done on a daily basis like that other guy,as a rule!

These are not men driving race cars, theres no back bone, this is why people think racing is not a sport, how can I defend this sport. He's okay Tony, he ran off the track again. I wouldnt see Pierson or Earnhardt doing soemthing like that. Put the bottle water down and grab a cold beer, you wrecked the most hated driver in NASCAR and won.

    #59 - Tony did not wreck Kyle. Kyle wrecked Kyle. He was trying to go into the same real estate Tony already staked claim on. Kyle was trying to block a car that was already there. A successful block is one where you get in front of the car that is behind you to prevent that car from advancing.

    Most of you guys are off subject! I knew Tony would have to do it, but I expected that from Tony, because he, Kyle and Kasey have a good relationship as friends. I think you guys just don't want to accept the fact that the old Tony is gone, the new nicer Tony seems to finish better! He is turning into a Kasey Kahne character. Soon the same will happen to Kyle Busch. Maybe Tony is in love.
