Always someone else's fault.

Hard hit. Glad he's OK.
I know the Logano hate runs about as deep on this board as the Busch side but the guy did say that he got mad and through his own stupidity he over drove the car. It sounds to me like he is taking the blame. I guess we all look at this kinda stuff differently.

Yea Joey, you wrecked because the guy you were passing was too slow. Thats how we saw it too, idiot.
Then again I would be shocked if he actually owned up to being his fault 100% and trying to take the turn too fast. I hate that kid.
Yes but not all the blame, he always adds someone else in the equation. It's never totally his fault, thats why I hate the ****head. That and the fact that he sucks and is a little *****.

I can't wait for the day someone screws the little crybaby in the ground! I wish he would come to Old Dominion and act like that.

A driver actually taking 100% of the blame?
If you don't like the drivers who don't take total blame when it's their fault, then there aren't that many drivers out there that you like. I bet you can count them all on one hand.

In his defense he really wasn't ready for 'Cup and they brought him along too soon out of neccesity, but he reall needs to drop the ****y attitude.

I can't think of many drive that will take 100% expect maybe Mark Martin or someone like that so He possibly doesn't like many drivers.
Anyway glad he's okay and still don't get the hate for him. Jealously maybe?

Kurt Busch wins brotherly battle at Watkins Glen

type size: + - WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Subbing for Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski, Kurt Busch won Saturday's Zippo 200 Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen International in an event in which Busch and his brother, Kyle Busch, combined to lead every lap.
Keselowski, who broke his ankle Aug. 3 during testing at Road Atlanta, watched the race from the ESPN television booth as Busch held off Jimmie Johnson and Joey Logano to win his first Nationwide race since 2006 and his third in 12 career starts.

Results | Points | Laps | Video
Busch won in a green-white-checkered-flag finish that took the event three laps past its scheduled distance of 82 laps at the 2.45-mile road course.
Johnson finished second despite a pit-road penalty. Logano was third, followed by Kyle Busch, who couldn't improve his position after the final restart, and Carl Edwards. Paul Menard, Ron Fellows, Aric Almirola, Trevor Bayne and Elliott Sadler completed the top 10.
Kyle Busch, who led a race-high 48 laps, was out front on Lap 78, when he had to pit for fuel. That handed the lead to Kurt, who had pressured his brother as they ran 1-2 from Lap 56 to that point. Kyle had made a pit stop on Lap 50; Kurt made his final stop on Lap 55.
"We were running hard together," Kurt said. "It wasn't to force him to run out of fuel. I wanted to race him as fair and square as you can, but we knew that they were short [on fuel]. I had the confidence in [crew chief] Todd Gordon here that we had no problem on fuel, so, of course, we were going to continue to apply pressure.
"It wasn't that we were just hanging out and waiting. It seemed like I could catch him in traffic, and then I could get to his back bumper, but I couldn't do anything. But that was still with 10 [laps] to go. With five to go, I was going to really pour it on, but those guys didn't have enough fuel."
The brothers Busch mixed it up early after starting 1-2 on the grid. Pole-sitter Kurt led the first eight laps before a bobble in the inner loop allowed Kyle to move around him to the outside on Lap 9. Kurt regained the lead soon after the cars crossed the start/finish line, out-braking his brother into Turn 1.
Kyle was forced to pit road on Lap 17, however, after picking up grass on the grille of his No. 18 Toyota when he left the pavement while negotiating the bus stop (inner loop). That put Kyle off-sequence from the rest of the lead pack, but he regained the top spot when those ahead of him made scheduled pit stops several laps later.
Kyle built a lead of almost 2 seconds before pitting for fuel and tires on Lap 50, putting Kurt back in front. But Kyle regained the lead on Lap 55 when Kurt pitted.
Kyle was saving fuel to start the final green-flag run, but he began to lose fuel pressure with five laps left and brought the No. 18 Toyota to pit road on Lap 78. That put Kyle sixth in the running order before Casey Roderick and Eric McClure tangled at the exit of the bus stop on Lap 80 to cause the second caution of the race.
Keselowski thrilled
Keselowski provided commentary as Busch drove Keselowski's car to victory.
Knowing he would be driving in Sunday's Sprint Cup race on a broken ankle, Keselowski opted to rest during Saturday's Nationwide event, a race he typically would have run.
"This is great," Keselowski said afterward. "This deal with Kurt didn't come together until Tuesday. We left our driver debrief and talked about the Cup weekend at Pocono. I walked up to Kurt and said, 'Hey, Kurt, I think it would be cool if you drove my car this weekend -- I just don't think that I can pull it off.'
"He was like a kid in a candy store. His face lit up, and I knew that he wanted to drive this car. I knew how bad he wanted to win, and I'm glad to see his hard work and passion for the team pay off with a victory."
Busch, who won the Cup title in 2004, is the fourth series champion to drive the No. 22 Dodge this year. The others are Sam Hornish Jr. (IndyCar), Jacques Villeneuve (Formula One) and Keselowski, the reigning Nationwide champ.
Villeneuve will make his second appearance in the car next Saturday on the road course in Montreal named for his late father, Gilles Villeneuve, while Keselowski races the No. 2 Cup car at Michigan.
