Did anyone else think that Kyle Busch whined excessively after the Bristol race?

Just wondering what everyone else thought. He complained that Edwards moved him out of the way, but then he tried to same thing on the next corner, but unsuccessfully

    Yes he's a little whine baby, for tell me who more than Kyle has bumped, crashed more people to win this year than he? He brushes off the disdain of race fans and his fellow drivers as him daring to show a persona on TV and not because he will bump anyone including a driver in his own team to win, and when someone threatens to bump him back his response according to an article by Scripps Howard News Service was " I don't care, I'll wreck as many cars as I need to"

    It's time NASCAR starts fining and suspending drivers who intentionally bump and wreck as Kyle did after the Bristle race, his unsportsmanlike like conduct hurts NASCAR, and I will boycott any of his sponsors until they either drop him or force him to get back in line. Everyone knows that in racing people get bumped, when drivers get loose, or one slows down and another doesn't, it happens that is part of racing, even what Edwards did even though in his case it didn't take Kyle out of the race was wrong, but because NASCAR has never stopped Kyle, and Kyle has bumped Carl before turnabouts are fair play. Thank you for this question, I was looking for a place to vent after the race.

    It's because of emotions after the race. NASCAR can be an emotionally drive sport, so I can't fault Kyle for doing that, if I led that many laps and got bumped out

    NOthin wrong with being a crybaby. If you cry about finishing second, you'll win a lot of races. If you're happy a bout finishing 2nd, you'll lose a lot.

    Neither Kyle or Carl wanted to finish 2nd, and it was obvious that Kyle had good reason to be upset after being moved out of the way after leading since lap 52.

    I'm sure this morning he has thought it over and chalked it up to just another Bristol race. Nothing wrong with being unhappy with 2nd. That's why he has 8 wins and Carl 6. for the lead I would get upset too.

    The display that Kyle Busch exhibited is the exact same reason why they didn't appreciate him at HMS. If you watch the replay of how Carl Edwards "moved" the #18 out of the way, it is the most gentle maneuver that i've ever seen excecuted in a very professional manner. Then Kyle gets his feelings hurt, and runs into Carl after the race was over. So Carl had to punk the punk. Carl is a fast thinker and he makes decisions quick. Carl is making Ford look awfully good this year.

    Yes he whined excessively after the Bristol race. His actions on the track and comments after that made him look like a kid in the candy store throwing a temper tantrum. I can't remember one race this year that Kyle has won, when he hasn't body slammed, wrecked, nudged, moved, tapped or rubbed at least one car out of his way. Hence why he has the nickname Rowdy. As a non fan of him I just accept it as racing and move about my day. But when a driver with the style of driving he has, says the comments he did last night, well that is B.S.! He is not the first to play the hypocrite role, Tony Stewart has said a lot of one thing only to race opposite what he says. Daytona really comes to mind for Tony. Matt Kenseth is another that has done this, Jeff Gordon is another, the list is huge (probably close to every driver at some point). So is it a big that Kyle said his comments and did what he did, yes it is, more so than anyone before him that has played the hypocrite role. He has stated over and over that he will wreck anyone to win, but he cries and threatens again (We'll race him in the chase like that if he wants too) when it happens to him.

    As for a penalty, fine won't hurt him, point won't hurt him, the only thing that will make him think twice would be to take bonus points away and I don't think they will do that.

    Sorry I ranted a little there.

    No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you... he *rubbed* you. And rubbin, son, is racin'.

    Yeah, he did. It just shows his immaturity. And I mean that respectfully. He'll learn "racing" before too long.

    Before Bristol was repaved with the gradual banking, almost every pass was a hit and run. It was the only way to pass. Busch is just young - doesn't remember that.

    Kyle really needs to learn the phrase"Silence is Golden". My children never whined as much growing up as Kyle Busch does every time he doesn't get his way!!

    Leading as much as he did and to have a "classic Dale Earnhardt" move put on him and lose,he was upset and whined or complained about the move.

    Though he is in my top 10 favorites after his actions after the race (on track) he should be sat down for a week.

    It's pretty much the reason I don't like the boy all that much. Everytime he knocks someone out of the way or walls a driver, its ok, it was just one of those "racing deals". But if anyone else gets in his way or knocks him around, its all about how that driver is an idiot or lacks ability.

    Someone needs to place a piece of tape in Kyle's car that reads: "Live by the sword, Die by the sword."

    No more then anyone else that has been bumped out of the way at Bristol. He'll get over it. So will Mr. Ed.

    The real Kyle Busch came out!! I watched the replay several times and I don't see where Carl Edwards was racing him dirty or anything. He didn't even come close to wrecking Kyle when he passed him. It all comes down to the fact that Kyle Busch LOST to Carl Edwards, the driver who is his main competition.

    I hope to see more of Kyle whining and crying next weekend. It's so funny.
