Kyle Bush wrecks Elliot Sadler at Bristol - Page 4

20Camaro11 · 08-25-2011, 10:43 PM

Bristol truck race wasn't yet under caution. Earnhardt wrecked plenty of people....ask T Labonte, Wallace, Gordon....list goes on. Bottom line...Nascar gives him some leash cause that ahole sells tickets, races hard, keeps Nascar in the sports news. When else would Nascar be getting any press on a Thursday morning? Harvick, Montoya, Busch brothers, Edwards, Kenseth....on an on have been known to even scores. Edwards did it at Atlanta...so lets back off the indignant over the top drama. Nascar will draw a line in sand when they feel it has went to far...they always do. This is Bristol. I would not be surprised if Sadler was racing him hard as a nod to his sometimes boss Harvick. Either way...its exciting and makes what would be a pretty boring show a little more interesting.

Race was still green when he hit Elliot..........

Whats the difference in the way Kyle drives now and the way Dale Earnhardt drove in the past?

Kyle just does what it takes to win and if he feels he has been wrecked on purpose then he retaliates. Just like Big E did. He may be a puss and all these other things everyone is calling him , but on the track , he is one of the best "drivers" Nascar has ever seen........

I know!!!...I was saying that maybe he should have hit him a little more and gave him an attitude adjustment like Jimmy Spencer ("Jimmy Spencer never foregets") gave to Kurt!!!

Not that that hasn't happened before, but anyone that did do it was an idiot. I don't recall Earnhart ever doing anything like that. He bumped and rubbed and sent quite a few people into the wall, and I don't think he ever did what Kyle did in this case. He took his lumps when it happened to him and pretty much said "that's racin'".

Correct Earnhardt never waited in anyone to come around and obviously take them out. But I do recall several times when people took shots at Earnhardt AFTER the race or
caution came out like Bill Elliot did in 1987 after the Winston. The incidents with Terry Labonte and Rusty Wallace were all hard racing, in the first incident with Terry at bristol Earnhardt was catching him and on the last turn of the last lap Terry got held up by a slower car and earnhardt got into him turning him into the wall, but he still won the race, the second bristol incident with terry most people fail to recall that he had 40 lap fresher tires than Earnhardt, and when he passed earnhardt on the white flag lap he bumped Earnhardt 3 times to do it, then something that should have been impossible for him to do with old tires Earnhardt caught back up in turn 1 and returned the favor, this was hard racing. The Talladega incident with Rusty was a case of Rusty trying to block Earnhardt from passing on the last lap. People also fail to recall incidents where Earnhardt got wrecked and did nothing to retalliate, such as Jeremy Mayfield when he
took dale out on the last lap to win his first race, or Kyle Petty putting Dale in the wall at the winston one year then Kyle wrecked Davey Allison as they crossed the finish line, all hard racing. Kyle Busch seems to not know the difference between hard racing and retaliation. For which he is good for doing.

Yes, but you want to know the biggest difference between Kyle and Dale Sr. was?

People actually LIKE Dale.

LMFAO at comparing Earnhardt and Busch. Seriously, if you don't know the difference between Earnhardt and Busch, then you truly have some learning to do. Earnhardt NEVER waited for someone to come around and then take them out. That is a Busch league move, pun intended. Oh, and yeah if we want to hate on Kyle Busch we will hate. So what? It's part of rivalry's throughout all sports.

Even a JGR (and thus KyB fan) like myself, shakes his head at some of the stuff this guy does. I keep waiting for Gibbs to make an impression on him as he's a character guy.

Also, Dale had plenty of enemies back in the day. People forget that many fans hated him back then for his aggressive and sometimes reckless nature.

Oh, ok the way you answer my other post sounded like you didn't realize he had already done it once...

We have seen this before...come on people...Cole Trickle did it to Rowdy Burns in Days of Thunder - AFTER the race though.

Wait till 012 when Danica starts full time and he does that sissy girly stuff to her.

They both like to throw crying hissy fits after a race, it will make great TV.

Maybe even see a slap flight or two.
