Watkins Glen

So, maybe we'll hear the full story later, but I found it funny...

Kyle Busch's pit says 48 laid oil over the track

Brad Kezlowski says oil was coming out of Kyle's car, then goes on to talk about how cool Ambrose is because he races and doesn't intentionally wreck people (LMAO!!).

Could have happened to a better guy!

It was a very exciting finish, I cheered when Kyle spun. I kinda think Kyle will payback Brad next week.

Mr. Johnson and Mr. Biffle might disagree with you. I don't follow closely so I'm just going by the points standings.

Something like this from a professional driver and , might I add, a "rock star" to so many young people... deserves at least a two race disqualification.

Not sure how Kyle could have slipped in oil from the 48 car since he was behind kyle... Kyle can go kick rocks. However, Jimmie is back at the top of the chase points so GO JIMMIE!

Even though this was an exciting race and had me all up in my chair during the finish. I still have to say nascar should have thrown the yellow flag and any other race track they would have if there was oil on the track so this was inconsistent with their normal decisions. Oh and im a Dale jr and Jimmie johnson fan. I agree Kyle busch is a amazing driver and racer but his off the track persona is horrible whines too much makes poor decisions for being in the limelight.

Exactly, the oil was from the 47 car of Bobby Lebonte, he had a pin hole in a high pressure oil line that was misting the track. He did 3 laps smoking like crazy before NASCAR black flagged him.

As far as payback from Kyle to Brad, there really shouldn't be any. Brad getting into Kyle was a racing deal all caused by the slick racing conditions. I'm pretty sure Kyle knows that and I'm sure he's more upset with NASCAR not throwing out the yellow flag for oil on the track. I was pleased to see Kyle show some maturity after the race and telling reporters that he didn't have anything good to say and leaving the track.

I'm not a Kyle Busch fan but the kid is an amazing talent and will be a NASCAR champion some day.
