Hamlin's True Colors Ruin Dale Jr.'s Chances

Multi car teams suck. Jr is a stand alone entity. as far as Hamlin he should have beenblack flagged. As far as busch.. you turn LEFT when in a left turn NOT RIGHT. and should be penalized in team owner and driver points NO Question

Well Mr Hamlin, your hopes that if you bring out a yellow the win will be in the Gibb's family with the crash king ROWDY BUSCH, Denny you had plenty of time to get off the track, but at least Nascar GOT YA!!!!! As for Rowdy, he is going to hurt someone really bad, no reason for him to take out JR, Oh wrong he would have got beat by his replacement!! Seems like Mark Martin ran the inside of the ROWDY one at the end and Mr Martin didnt get close to him. Your time will come ROWDY, and to bad Steven Wallace could not have been outside his car, but then the busch's are like GIRLS, they cant fight fair! You dont take drivers who are going for the points in the nationwide series, when all your doing is going for a win! Slow replay shows the #18 wheels turning right, Gee I thought it was left that we turn????? MIKE KRAMER

Thank you very much for writing this up. Everyone is trying to figure out if Kyle moved up or Jr moved down, but the simple fact is, if Denny Hamlin hadn't tried to cause a caution (then when he couldn't, he went to Plan B to get the yellow out), the Busch/Jr incident wouldn't have even happened. That's where the problem started - with Denny. Ugh.

I would have went with "bad sportsmanship" rather than "low moral character", but yeah, what a horrible move.

What a cheap shot on Hamlin and Kyles part. They both should be fined. Just happy the little jerk (Kyle)didn't win either and Joe Gibbs is such a good man to let his drivers race like that. Sorry coach I thought you would have better control of them.

Yep, Denny started it, and Busch finished it. Just poor sportsmanship all the way around. A dark day in the racing world.

Denny should have gotten off of the track when he knew he was getting a flat.Now for Junior and Kyle's wreck, Guy's this was some good ole fashion HARD RACIN........
I know there are going to be some KYLE BUSCH Basher"s out there that are going to see it different.
I heard Junior say it his self he could of move up.Maybe Kyle could of moved down,but I watched this replay many times and I never seen any thing but some good hard racing...I do not think Kyle intentionly wreck Junior......Just my opinion

What an idiotic logical fallacy you have supposed here. Kyle Busch caused the accident because of his poor racing attitude. The blame lies squarely on him and him alone. It was Busch's choice to drive the way he did and whatever transpired to cause him to be in that situation is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if it's a caution caused by Hamlin's tire, lapped cars wrecking McMurray, or a rare alignment of Venus and Jupiter. Busch chose to overdrive a corner without regard to who was on the outside. Busch chose to continue through the corner while his car showed it wasn't able to hold that line through the turn (just watch the previous lap) when he could have lifted to correct the attitude of the car and made a charge in the next turn. Busch could have showed the maturity he has recently been credited with but has yet to actually deserve and raced smart through the closing laps. Busch did not. And no matter how you calculate it Busch, not Hamlin, drove the 18 in too deep and spun the 88.

Did Hamlin stop to bring out the caution? Most likely he did, and NASCAR penalized him for it. No different than Jr intentionally spinning to bring out a caution then bragging about it on the radio (except for Jr's hubris) and certainly better than NASCAR finding mysterious debris on the track when a Hendrick car needs a hand. With a handful of laps to go it wasn't likely Hamlin, or any other lead lap car, would come in and loose a minimum of two laps to fix an issue they may be able to limp around with for the remainder of the race.

In the end no one is responsible for the actions others take on the track, no matter what transpired to put them in that situation.

All I have to say is what Denny & his team did really shows a lack of character.
One more thing kyle's nickname "Rowdy" IS NOT A COMPLIMENT!

Kyle Bush is just a punk. He drives with no regards to what any of his actions brings about. If you listen to his NationWide interview he talks about wrecking and hurting others. Nascar needs to watch this idiot before someone gets hurt by his careless driving. I for one hope Nascar or some of the drivers jerk a knot in his butt.

This all started with Denny Hamlin's parking to bring out the yellow so Kyle could catch up to Jr. What a disgrace!

Then after the race, Kyle blames it on Jr. This guy has zero respect for anyone including his own brother.

I hope and pray that no one gets on this blog to tout Kyles greatness ever again.

I only know of one person that does support him and I think he must be Kyles PR person. No right-minded person could be a fan of a punk that shows up to fight with a full helmut on. As Arnold would say...girly man describes Kyle to the tee. My dog won't eat Pedigree dog food and I wouldn't buy M & M's for any reason.

What's up with the Fox announcers non-stop praise for Kyle? It sounds like at least one of them receives money for that stupid Gopher came.

Jr handles it with class and Kyle blames it on Jr. Denny also publicly throws his team under the bus for several weeks running. He whines and it apparently wasn't just rumors since JD Gibbs has publicly confirmed it.

junior is the most overrated person in nascar if not all sports. kyle busch had the faster car, junior should have let him go. blame denny hamlin, he should have come into the pits, he caused the caution. theres always next year for a 88 win.

I think Kyle and his reckless driving win at any cost is to blame for Dale's wreck.

I am sorry but I did not hear Kyle Blame this On Junior Nor did I hear Junior Blame this on Kyle where do you People hear these things from? Kyle said he got loose and went up into Junior and he Apologized after the race.

THIS IS JUNIOR WORDS.....WORD FOR WORD AFTER THE RACE
I was"nt good on the bottom, so I moved up top to run as good as I could. He had been running the bottom I fiqured we'd Raced it out,and the he got a great run around (Turn) One and Two and nearly got by me. "HE GAVE ME ROOM ON THE OUTSIDE OFF OF TWO"
So I would"nt Say it was INTENTIONAL going into three, becauce if he wanted to, HE COULD HAVE RUN ME IN THE FENCE OFF OF TWO....
HOW DO YOU ALWAYS PUT WORDS IN THESE
GUYS MOUTHS? AND I AM NOT A JUNIOR BASHER,BUT I AM A KYLE BUSH FAN......

Nascarbogus,,,,,,JR SHOULD HAVE LET HIM GO? What kind of a friggin moron are you. This was nothing more than good hard racing but face it Kyle got LOOSE got into Jr. and there was your wreck. HMMMMM Imagine that less than what 5 laps to go and expect a Race car driver to just let someone go.....That's why they call it RACING you idiot.

Peaches, your right nobody needs to be putting words in anyones mouth but really.....KYLE BOY JUST REALLY F*&$ED UP.

Gimmie a freakin' break with the whining about Hamlin's "low moral character" costing Junior anything. Not that I don't think Hamlin is a twit but whining about Junior losing a race because someone intentionally caused a caution is hilarious seeing as Junior pretty much invented the move by spinning himself out on purpose to get a caution a few years back.

BOO HOO,BOO HOO,BOO HOO, BOO HOO, BOO HOO,
KYLE did not cause any wreck and neither did HAMLIN.
Also, i heard k.bush and dale junior after race interview and neither one of them blamed the wreck on each other.KYLE was beating his car at high speed
side by side of junior and his car begun to slide right in to the 88.Not sure but i think junior was sliding a little bit also.Similar wrecks have been happening for decades with other drivers and will happen again.
HAMLIN,defenetely not a 5 star class when it comes to judgement or split seconds decisions.Not a champion of sportsmanship.He wanted the caution for his convenience and he got it any way he could.
Even tough he is a pretty skilled driver, i would
not trust him as a teammate or alce.2 gibbs drivers
now are my preferite drivers, not DENNY. However, blaming junior wreck on DENNY YELLOW FLAG, it's an
escape goat for another junior loss in the last 25
laps or less.Let me ask ya all? HOW did hamlin could known about KYLE/DALE contact and wreck several laps later than the acquired yellow? Does DH
have psychic powers like ESP?. Did today HAMLIN racing equipment included a cristal bowl to find out what was going to happen laps later? HOW DID HAMLIN CAUSE DALE TO WRECK AS I READ?KYLE caused it and was involuntary. WAS EVERYDAY RACING.
Today was the closest i've seen junior come near to a win in a long time.He got the short hand of the stick again not for his doing but because the circumstances and for the first time,i really felt sorry for the dude,because ones HAMLIN WAS OUT, it was junior or KYLE RACE TO WIN, NOT CLINT what's his CLIPPER/FLIPPER NAME. EARNHARDT did not need an escape goat excuse for the jun. nation today, so why give him one. I seen him loosing wins like today
several times in the last few years( tei engine problems aside)and it's bound to happen again in future. Does not work for me.

I'm guessing if the roles had been reversed and Junior had sabotaged Hamlin's ultimate chances that few would care, so spare me that whine. The #88 has run well for the most part this year and Junior will break his winless streak sometime this summer, but for now, endless excuses from adoring fans aside, his reign as one of the most overrated athletes in all of sports continues unabated.

By the way Peaches... Yes, Bush did say that he was sure Jr. came down the down the track and caused the wreck. You need to watch his interview a little more closely instead of listening to what Jr had to say. Busch did say that. It p's me off how people like you don't see the whole truth because you like the driver that caused the wreck. Bush was definetly loose and this caused the crash. Bush is nothing but a freaking idiot when it comes to racing. He doesn't even care if he wrecks his own brother(who I also do not like)so that does show you his moral. Of course racing is about winning, but at what cost? He will someday soon cause a wreck and someone(hopefully him)will get hurt. His attitude sucks. He's a pretty boy who can't back up his mouth or his actions. I do see that the accident was Kyle's fault. He knew he couldn't drive hard into the turns and remain under control, but he did anyways. He has no regaurd for no one but himself. Purely selfish. As far as Hamlin he's a puke too. These younger guys better start learning how to respect each other on the track or people are going to get killed. No matter how many saftey devices they have, they can't fix stupid. And stupidity on the track caused accidents. Kyle needs to climb back into the rat hole he climbed out of. I'll even give him a block of cheese if he will. Totally frustrated!!!!!
