Kurt Busch trying to mend fences
Wednesday, April 12, 2006
Kurt Busch says he has tried to talk with Greg Biffle about their accident Sunday during the Samsung/RadioShack 500 NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Biffle was angry that Busch ran into the back of him after Biffle slowed slightly on the straightaway.
"I tried to reach out for [Biffle] and left a message on his phone, and I'm sure I'll see him this afternoon," Busch said Tuesday while teams were testing at Richmond International Raceway. "Biffle and I are both very competitive racers, and we both looked for the same real estate at the same time, yet I was trying to yield as a lapped car on the track.
"Things like that happen, and we'll definitely try to smooth everything out and move on to the next race."
Busch and Biffle were teammates at Roush Racing until this year, when Busch moved to Penske Racing South.
"With the old teammates, we definitely had some great times together," Busch said. "Biffle and I grew up running trucks together, and when I moved to Cup he shortly followed. We have some great relationships, and it's not just one race that will tear it apart."
