So I have to ask, after the pit road incident yesterday what exactly was Brad's problem W/ Kurt Busch? From what i saw it looked like Brad turned into Kurt on pit road. Or am i Wrong?
 
He thinks that Kurt should have slowed down instead of running into him. Obviously it was Brad's mistake (or his crew chief's) for mistiming the exit of the pits. Typical tight-pits Martinsville stuff, but they were both pretty riled up. I'm sure Kurt would have been just as pissed at the end of the race as Brad was if his day went as bad afterwards.
 
Voices in his head? As in spotter or CC, or Imaginary :confused: LOL

His dumbass internal monologue giving him cues on the next thing to do or say...


Of course there could be other voices too.
 
Brad hit Casey long before Kurt made contact with him. Brad stalking Kurt should have gotten him a invite to the hauler. From reports I'm seen he's looking to get revenge in Texas next week. Boy's having a meltdown IMHO.
In all fairness Kurt should be talked to about comments he made too.
Boys have at it???
 
Well he was obviously upset about it... personally I would have blamed Kasey for it but its just one of those things.. Kasey slowed and Brad hit him and got shoved to the right where Kurt happened to be... Of the 3 drivers involved however I think Brad is at the most fault .. or his spotter.... should have known the 5 was coming not going. I think Brad saw they didn't have much damage until they hit Kurt.

Revenge at Texas? That wouldn't be a smart move would it? I mean the speeds are way higher
 
Apparently he was mad because his girlfriend had dressed him that morning, and just took his aggression out on the track..

Brad probably doesn't like Kurt and was looking for a reason to start something with him.
 
Didn't NASCAR institute the intentional wrecking of another driver illegal, just as they instituted the 100% rule?

I like brads racing but I wish he'd shut his mouth sometimes. Compare his reaction to Jamie Mac's.

"Typical tight-pits Martinsville stuff,..."

That is exactly how i saw it. Brad was focusing on getting off of kasey, probably never saw kurt coming. Guessing kurt had already decided to accelerate past the carnage at the same time.

fully enjoyed the radio comments of both. also liked brad playing games with kurt on track while not taking him out. and was damn glad to see kurt avoid his typical meltdown and win the race.

jmo.
 
The kind of stuff that happened between Brad and Kurt is great IMO. Why the heck would either of these guys be called to the hauler? Heck, we complain when these guys don't show any personality and we complain when they do. Yesterday was one of the reasons I like going to or watching Martinsville races. It brings out emotion in these drivers. It's all good.
 
IMO, Keselowski overreacted while KuBu reacted by winning the race. KuBu 1, Kezzy 0.

They can take each other out of every race for the rest of the year for all I care, as long as they're not messing up someone else's day.

Yesterday was riding the fine line. Over the course of 15 laps, they held up the entire field. At the same time I did enjoy the side by side game playing without anyone ending up in the wall.
 
Mikey said it right there's Brad's story, there's Kurt's story, and then there's the truth. I would go with slicedbread, it was Kasey's fault for not knowing where his pit spot was on the pit lane. Plus I blame NA$CAR for changing pit road. Also I blame Brian France because of allowing the COT to be made. I also blame......

At first I was like "wtf is he talking about" but then I was like "Ohhh lol"
 
Kasey did indeed cause much of the incident, then failed to move out of the way. I guess he planned to back into his box.

Brad was simply looking for Kurt to take it easy that early in the race instead of gunning it after the contact and running over his front end. Did Brad over react? Sure. Did he try to wreck Kurt or pop his tires? Absolutely not. Watch the video. Brad rubs his door hard, then turns AWAY from Kurts quarter panel to avoid wrecking him.

People who are having trouble with the action on the track should watch open wheel and be happy.
 
Brad pretty backed off of everything he said. His Twitter comments last night indicate that once he calmed down and watched the footage he realized that Kurt wasn't at fault. Brad just kinds of shoots off his mouth off before gathering facts and ends up looking like a dumbass. But that's OK. It's entertaining and it's good for the sport to have someone like that. Brad's a good kid and a great driver which is all that really matters.
 
Funny that Keselowski says on Twitter that he makes mistakes and admits to them all the time. When has he ever admitted to doing anything, ever?

I wonder if it's actually Logano that he's mad at ;)

I've always seen Brad as a driver who is more than willing to take his share of responsibility for racing incidents, even when LaBonte turned him into the wall at Bristol.....after Kurt had destroyed his car.

Yesterday wasn't a good day for him. So what? ALL drivers have them. JJ running in to Kurt at Pocono, Jeff wrecking himself, then Bowyer at Phoenix, Jr popping Jeffs tire.....they get out of the car and say stuff, then watch the video and see it differently. I bet Brad calls Kurt and apologizes.

I feel that Keselowski should be held to the same standard which Hamlin seems to be.
 
It was a perfect day at Martinsville, hopefully Brad will continue to make Both the Busch brothers mad quite often, they are dangerous when mad

It could be epic. I believe Brad has yet to show what he can do with a race car. He has made some amazing saves in his career.

I believe Brad does have some talent, I hate too say that of course. I also believe he is surrounded by some talented people like his crew chief for instance. Wolfe makes things happen when they dont have a lot to work with, he turns bad days into good ones, Brad is lucky to have him

Brad needs to find the focus he had in 2012. Nobody made those old tire calls work better.
 
Kurt has to be very careful what he says and does these days. This is pretty much his last chance in Cup.

2102 sure must have been tough for you. I know it put Kyle in a depression, and even motivated him to finally change.

It was tough to see Kyle struggling with his Nationwide program, the whole year pretty much sucked except for the Shootout win. Kyle has done some amazing things for such a young man, his talent has gotten him places. Pretty sure his wife was the final piece of the puzzle, he seems better now.
I knew he would bounce back from a bad year, I wasnt worried at all
