    Redneck spirts have fights! Lol

  • DickieM - 7 years ago

    Going into another pit with an attitude is not only against the rules but about as stupid as one can get. Kyle should diffinitly be fined. Kyle Bush whine whine whine. Maybe he should learn how to race.

  • DOUGLAS T CLOSE - 7 years ago

    I dont want my kids seeing this un sportman like conduct if you not doing anything about a sucker punch dont show it on tv

  • C Combs - 7 years ago

    Busch absolutely should be penalized heavily! Why don't you show the fans a copy of the rulebook that you have used on every other racer that Does get penalized for fighting! I will be sickened if you don't drop the hammer on Busch!

  • JOHN WOOLSEY - 7 years ago

    AS LONG AS THINGS ARE GOING KYLE'S WAY HE'S A NICE GUY, BUT WHEN THEY DON'T HE'S A WHINEY LITTLE BITCH, EVERYONES FAULT BUT HIS. I WATCHED THE RACE AND IT WAS BOTH OF THEIR FAULT. HAVING SAID THAT, FOR WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR. KYLE SHOULD BE FINED, "BIG TIME" AND SUSPENDED FOR A COUPLE OF RACES AND DOCKED A BUNCH OF POINTS. KYLE NEEDS TO REMEMBER "IT'S RACING, STUFF HAPPENS !!!" IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL, SO GET OVER IT KYLE.

    Cryle was retaliating for something he himself is guilty of. No penalty in my opinion. I think there should be a diapers trophy awarded at seasons end, harvick and Cryle would be hard to beat!

    Little pansy boy lagano got exactly what he deserved. His pit crew (security guards) should've stayed the hell out of it. Is baby Joey a man? NO, he is a spoiled pussy brat, and should've been knocked out cold. The hell with, all the whining about this being assault. This is what's wrong with America now. Everybody has gotten soft. No f-in backbones. Somebody can just say to another person now days that they are going to kick their ass, and all of a sudden some pansy is calling it a terroristic threat. That's bullshit. We need to go after the real terrorists for that. What happened between KYLE and baby boy little Joey, was just good ole ass whooping. And Joey's crew should have stayed out of it, and let little Joey be a man. Kyle didn't get his ass whooped by little pussy Joey, because his pit crew grabbed KYLE, and it took what 5-6 of them to get KYLE off little baby Joey. If Nascar is going to even consider suspending or penalizing one, they should be fair and suspend both little baby boy Joey lagano, and KYLE. Joey needs to grow the f*ck up quickly, and stop letting other men fight his battles for him. He'll I'd be all for putting a closed cage MMA style battle ring in the pits, so the drivers can get the anger out of their systems, when a pussy like Joey lagano decides he wants to wreck other drivers out!! LMFAO!!! At little boy joey

    I watch NASCAR with my 11 year old son. It was obvious that Kyle was waiting for Joey to start a fight. He didn't even try to talk. He just starts throwing punches. I understand he was frustrated and angry but that isn't the way to handle it. It sets a bad example for all of the kids that watch the sport. Joey wasn't at fault and handled the whole situation very well.

  • David - 7 years ago

    This won't happen but I feel Kyle should be made to sit for minimum 10 races and the team should have to park the car with no replacement driver for two of those races. Assault isn't tolerated in the public sector and it should be delt with harshly for sports figures as well.

    Too bad this is the headline and not the otherwise good racing that occurred Sunday. Is anyone even giving Martin Truex props for winning?

  • Chet - 7 years ago

    I do not know what half of you people were watching, you need to go to lens crafters and have your eyes checked. Kyle and Joey were racing side by side coming quickly on Brads slower car. Instead of Kyle backing off he slammed into Joeys car and ran him onto the apron, Joey coming back onto the track through the transition from the apron to the racing surface got his car loose and barely touched Kyle's car sending him into a tide spin around down pit road (Kyle hitting Joey's car was on purpose, Joey was just racing). As always you look at Kyle's car funny and it is your fault, both Kyle and Kurt have a history of aggressive driving and hot headedness. Then to show his true colors he walks up and sucker punches Joey then threatens to get retaliation on the track. What a sackless wuss. Kyle has a bad day and someone is to blame.

  • Joe asche - 7 years ago

    Watch the video people the truth is in it...Kurt hit Joey first by coming down in front of him that's how races if he hits someone it's racing if someone hits him it pisses him off and he wants to bitch and cry about he got what he deserved in the fight he should be fined and suspended from NASCAR he deliberately waited for Joey to come off the track to his pitt

  • Carole - 7 years ago

    If Kyle can't take the heat, get out of the "kitchen," the kitchen meaning racing! Regardless of the what happened on the track, which is called "hard racing," and that is something Kyle has been a part of since he started racing and has initiated many times, dealing with it after the race, is a different story. Sometimes you get wrecked, sometimes you don't. Apparently, although all the Nascar "people insist that Kyle has matured, he still shows no sign of that. He's so very "grown up" when he's on a winning side, by if he can't handle the rough spots, GET THE HELL OUT OF RACING KYLE, you don't deserve the title of CHAMPION!

  • Bill - 7 years ago

    Joey Lagano needs to be set straight the racing way.... People today punish like they punish their kids... Put them in the chair for a 5 minute time out.... Lagano has purposely been putting people into the wall for quite some time.. Teaming him up with Brad was his downfall... Like they say "Birds of a Feather, Flock Together".. Let Little Joey take his licks... See how far Penske is willing to go with damaged equipment.....

  • Connie Brown - 7 years ago

    Every racer gets aggressive especially as they are coming to the finish one and in the top 5 or 6 position. You down Lagono but I have seen Busch more times than not cause accidents involving many cars at a time for driving too aggressive and pushing other drivers on the track with no consideration for his actions. Then Kyle shows his big bully sportsmanship and sucker punches another driver. Lagono should have wiped him out. Busch was looking for a fight and he found one. Crybaby Busch showed his ass once again. If you can't take the sport, Get out of it LOSER. Good quick reaction Joey. He didn't leave you much other choice.

  • Steve - 7 years ago

    I got it NASCAR ought to have a new venue with Kyle and Matt the only two racing would be interesting to if they could get along just by themselves

  • law - 7 years ago

    I like the Busch brothers - Kyle is one of the very best drivers on the circuit. And I like the fact that there is some emotion displayed. NASCAR has been missing this for many years. But do it like a man - no sucker punch. That was pretty cheap - if Kyle had watched the replay before he went to Logano's pit, he probably would have just let it go. Yes - he needs a fine - one that's big enough to hurt - maybe $50K.

  • Ennie - 7 years ago

    Kyle did this before watching videos.he is a fat overated punk.sucker punch is for cowards

  • Curt - 7 years ago

    Both the Busch brothers have had serious anger control problems for years. That should only be tolerated in a boxing ring, not on a public sports arena driveway!

    That Washington NBA player Jennings got ejected from the game and fined $35,000 yesterday for simply pointing his finger like a gun at a rival player. Busch deserves every bit as much of a fine. Temper tantrums like a 6-year-old should not go without a suitable fine. We are a better and more civilized sport than that!!

  • Vicki K - 7 years ago

    No, he had it coming for years, Kyle won't be the only one to do it. JUST WAIT.

  • Max - 7 years ago

    Yes.

    He threw a tantrum for losing. He meant to do harm to another person. Acting childish shouldn't be rewarded; the only way to help with the Busch family anger issues is to punish the behavior.

  • Decleated - 7 years ago

    NASCAR should not fine Busch - in fact NASCAR should take a page out of the MMA and give BUSCH a $50,000 bonus for fight of the night. This is probably the only thing that will be remembered about this boring single file race.

  • Annie - 7 years ago

    How in the world does Logano get dragged into the Gibbs drama? For God sake the fans scream they want racing, when actual racing happens they scream foul! Look that was racing, it happens all the time, never a word. Kyle cries and all of a sudden it is Logano's problem? How about drivers talk of their stories about Kyle? They don't because they don't feel they are entitled like Kyle and the Gibbs drivers do. If you are going to have your head explode over that, then knitting? Maybe Joey can have a Q and A with all you Kyle supports and tell you how he real feels all the times HE WRECKED HIM! Funny, Logano is one of the few drivers that seemed to be his friend, guess not anymore. What a hypocritical whiner Busch is. He seems to jealous over a few lousy races his brother is doing better than he. Do you know it appeared he did not go to the brothers wedding? IMO, Sammy was feeling competition from the bride...lol!

    Shall we mention again Hamlin 3 weeks ago at the duels ramming Kes, of courses silence on that whole deal! What gives with Gibbs? Nuts they are!

  • Jam-N-Jimmey - 7 years ago

    If you watch the the driver intros. like I did, You saw Shrub & Joey HANGING like BEST OF BUDDY'S. On backstretch Shrub ran up on the #2 and cut down into Joey hitting his right fender causing damage to the 22. Then pinned him to the bottom of the track. #5 is my driver so I'm on no ones side. Shrub should be fined, docked points and sidelined for 3 races!!! He has done stuff like this to many times to ignore! HE WENT TO JOEY AND HE WAS AT FAULT FOR FOR THE WHOLE THING!!!!!!!! BENCH HIM HE'S A POORRRRRRRRRRRRR LOOSER!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm 53 NASCAR FAN FOR LIFE

  • Kelly - 7 years ago

    I'm not sure I even watched the same race as half of the people commenting. It was a chain reaction event. Brad was slower, Kyle came on him fast, he avoided hitting Brad and made contact with Joey, Joey gets loose and chases the car (up track) which hit Kyle and spun him out. The last time I checked that was all product of RACING....which is exactly what you all tuned in for.
    The PROBLEM is not with what happened on the track. The problem is not that Joey is a ''punk'' or a ''wimp'' and a ''bad driver'' and vice versa.
    The PROBLEM is that Kyle Busch has little respect, which was VERY well made clear on MANY occasions including this incident. He thinks he is the best and everyone must be out to wreck the best because he rarely takes any fault for mistakes. When he does it's a pathetic ''woe-is-me'' tone that nobody wants to hear from a so-called adult, much less a ''professional'' adult.
    Kyle is clearly in the wrong, not for the on-track stuff entirely but for the deliberate intent to harm another driver. Joey did not storm after Kyle. Kyle took the coward way about it and threw a punch on an unprepared (opponent.) Now, I love a good ''have - at- it " fight....EXCEPT...both parties weren't angry with each other. This was completely one-sided and ridiculous.
    I happen to think Joey Logano has an amazing talent as a driver. Anyone who wants to trash-talk him, his fighting skills (or lack of), the way he made it to the elite series, etc etc...you're as whiney as you claim him to be. Seriously....he doesn't have a name to fall back on. No sponsor is going to keep throwing money at poor talent. No driver is going to race with teams like Penske without talent. So, c'mon, get a new topic to throw fits about.

    Park Kyle Busch. Simple. His true colors are once again emerging from under the facade he had going for a short stint there. Once a _______ always a ________.

  • CHERYL - 7 years ago

    Would Kyle be crying and fighting if his hit on Joey would have spun Joey out? If he wants to race and dish it out to others than he needs to take it and be sure he knows what actually happen before he gets mad. Let Nascar take care of the issues and not fight like a baby and if you don't like Nascar's rules find another form of racing that lets you make your own rules. Kyle needs to be fined for his actions out of the car!

  • trudy - 7 years ago

    Both penalized for sure. But us fans loved it.

  • trudy - 7 years ago

    Both penalized for sure. But us fans loved it.

  • Sy - 7 years ago

    This is the product of the NASCAR point system. NASCAR wanted to spark excitement, so here it is. If you penalized Kyle , joey is just as guilty. Leave them alone and let get more excitement every week .

  • WATCHDOG - 7 years ago

    I think both of them need to be parked for a couple of races, but Kyle needs to be fined heavily with point loss and monetary penalty. Both of them really need to grow up before they end up killing someone.

  • Bruinzfan - 7 years ago

    Typical cowardly act by cry baby Kyle. Attempting to suckerpunch Logano. I'm not a fan of either but if you need to start a fight with a suckerpunch you are a Coward! I hope NASCAR sanctions him good. Everything after the cowardly act us self defense and an attempt to deescalate the situation.

  • Eric Bibbs - 7 years ago

    So Logano wrecks and takes crybaby Kyle Busch with him and it's OK for Busch to hit him? So should Dale JR. And the others from Daytona get to go punch crybaby? After all Kyle did take out 5 cars. And watch the video again it was crybaby Kyle that went over and sicker punched Logano. Busch should be parked a race fined 100k and placed on probation for the rest of the year.

  • Kim Peek - 7 years ago

    Another chicken shit move by crybaby Logano. Will he ever fight his own fight or will someone always fight for him? I don't care anything about what happened on the track. Every time Joey is involved in an altercation some one else is there battling for him. He is a just an overgrown little boy. His daddy, his crew, who is gonna be the next person fighting for him and we all know there WILL be a next time because he is a chicken shit crybaby that can't fight his own battles and starts shit for someone else to finish. He is an instigator of trouble. Ask Kenseth and Harvick and Denny Hamlin the list goes on and on of people he has stirred up crap with. If NASCAR decides to hand out any penalties he needs to get the same as everyone else. I personally don't think anyone should be penalized. They need to let them take care of it like they did and go on to the next thing. Joey should be thankful he didn't get his ass handed to him whether by Kyle or any body.

  • Karen Chambers - 7 years ago

    I think they both need to watch the video, I think they both will feel bad about what happen.

  • brian - 7 years ago

    Why should he if ppl would listen when they asked Joey if he got punched he said no but if u watch u will she Joey throw a lil pussy punch to Kyle while Kyle was on ground by one of Joey crew men if Kyle gets n trouble Joey should for his lil bitch punch

  • Richard T - 7 years ago

    Kyle has always been a cry baby bitch it is racing shut up and move on or get out if you can not take it looks like Joey won anyway by the bump on his face wish it could have been more

  • Roger - 7 years ago

    LOgano is a punk driver. He runs into other cars all the time . It's a tactic of his that he uses all the time. Both Penske drivers do it. It's time for some payback. And Nascar does nothing about them except to protect them. Bout had it with Nascar.

  • richard - 7 years ago

    If you have .never drove a race car you don't know that that was a take out by joey.

  • L Shelton - 7 years ago

    We love Kyle, but we think he should've waited and watched the replay to see that Joey was just chasing his car up the track. It's always best to take the highroad, literally and figuratively. We hope he's OK, that looked like a nasty bump on his forehead. #GoTteam24 #MissJG24

  • Marilyn - 7 years ago

    I don't have any problem with drivers settling their differences after the race. Racing is a highly competitive and passionate sport. Real people with real feelings.

  • Ilene Taylor - 7 years ago

    If Nascar would do something about the cheating and the way that some of these driver's drive or so called drive, then it would be different. Kyle had no choice but to take things into his own hands, it's not like Nascar was going to do anything to Lagano for all of the time he has hit Kyle??? Pay back is a bitch.
    I am not saying that fighting is the right answer, I am saying I understand why he did it!!! Both Penske driver's have to hit other driver and tear up there cars, Kyle's not the first and he won't be the last!!! wait until it's your driver!!!

  • Tom colvin - 7 years ago

    JOEY IS A GOOD DRIVER, VERY COMPETITIVE AND HAS A FAST CAR...HE IS CONSISTANT AND IS NOT AFRAID TO MIX IT UP. OTHER DRIVERS AND OWNERS CANNOT STAND IT.

  • R. F. Smith - 7 years ago

    Kyle has to learn that you do not take matters into your own hands.

  • old nascar - 7 years ago

    Kyle turn into joey and run joey to the apron and it is Joey's fault ..let him miss a race or two..and take away any BONUS points he gets

  • ronnie milligan - 7 years ago

    This is rediculous! a whiney ass crybaby like Joey that wrecks drivers at the whim of his trying to advance in a race should be kicked the hell up and down pit road.

  • JackC - 7 years ago

    In 2014, Keslowski was fined $50,000 for initiating a fight after a race. What's good for him is good for this whiney ass, cry baby, irresponsible, jerk of a whiner Kyle Busch. And the threat he made after the fight should put him off the track for 3 races MINIMUM. When you worship at the alter of Joe Gibbs you turn into a douche bag of giant proportions. Maybe they should all wear pink vaJJ hats.

  • Lisa Plessinger - 7 years ago

    Humorous. Keeps people coming back

  • Justin - 7 years ago

    Kyle so be suspended the rest of season. I didn't watch the race. So I don't know how thing went. All I know is nobody should put there's hands on nobody in any sport. So yes he should get punished. Kyle a cry baby

  • Rick hurley - 7 years ago

    Kyle bush is losing his edge he's always been a crybaby this time he got his ass kicked it was hard racing he was starting to act like a man now the ass hole is back

  • kristian lawry - 7 years ago

    no I think joey clearly tried to run kyle up into the slowing car and I think if someone tried to make me crash at 200 miles a hour I would have went off as well. plus this gets nascar more ratings than the actual race so I think if they air this kind of thing more nascar would get better ratings

  • Slilber - 7 years ago

    Busch is the biggest douchebag. Joey gave what he got.

  • JJ - 7 years ago

    Old school Nascar. Let them at it! Let them fight like hockey does. Let the men settle it between them. Then before pull them apart if necessary. Im tired of Nascar trying to make babies out of these guys.

  • Thefloyd - 7 years ago

    The facts:
    Kyle hit Lagano and pushed him down then Lagano got a little squirrely and while getting back to center, hit Kyle. Race stuff. Kyle got bent because it didn't work out for him then had his ass handed to him by the crew. Then he makes a threat that Lagano "will get it".

    The reality: Kyle needs to grow up. End of story.

  • carlos giraudo - 7 years ago

    no Joey like to play like little boy he need to grow up and be a real mam.

  • Darran - 7 years ago

    NASCARs to blame these segment racing has caused this drama it was a matter time before someone lost it

  • Sed Harris - 7 years ago

    Busch should have used that time he was waiting to look at the accident and he would have seen that Lagano's car was loose and this was not a deliberate attempt to spin him out. Next time Kyle, look and if it appears to be on purpose, then slug him.

  • steve - 7 years ago

    It's bad to get wrecked and your butt whooped in the same day. Not my fault Busch Baby go cry somebody a river

  • Ann Johnson - 7 years ago

    Kyle's lucky Logano didn't drive by him on pit road and do the Tony Stewart maneuver. Is the stay in your car after a wreck rule applicable or not a bad enough wreck?

  • jD - 7 years ago

    You have to admire Kyle, as he just walked right up to his face and STUCK'em like a man right in the midst of his crew! No sucker punch here friends! Joey had that one coming!

  • Kyle Busch - 7 years ago

    Fuck Joey his a punk.

  • JD - 7 years ago

    Its clear, Joey tried to run Kyle up into the rear end of the slowing #2 car Brad, Joey's Penske team mate. Kyle made a hard move left to avoid Brad, and slammed doors, and cleared Joey. Joey caught up with Kyle and ran him up the track and put a wheel mark on the drivers side door. The video clearly shows Joey's line into Kyle's car and Joey nearly tags the wall after he pressed his fender into Kyle's door. Joey had it coming, as its not the first time he's bullied his way on the track. I bet he doesn't pull that on Kyle again this season!

  • Josh condrey - 7 years ago

    It helps the sport when this happens. Theira no denying it. They no doubt will use it for advertising. So why penalize anybody? Let the drivers bring in the ratings when nascar themselves cannot.

  • eddie wimmer - 7 years ago

    just glad to see blood on crybaby busch

  • Patrick - 7 years ago

    If positions had been reversed Kyle would have said it was hard racing. He didn't use a car to slam anyone on pit road, it was face to face. Let the fans penalize who ever they want.

  • Jason Carr - 7 years ago

    Let's tell the whole story before we start polling! 18 sideswiped 22 first and there seems to be no mention of that. What happened to 18 was just racing! Rubbing is racing boys... it said so in a movie once! Besides, even if 22's motives were intentional, fighting on pit road is not very Champion-like!!!

    Suck it up! Grow up! And move on! If you can't do that, maybe you should be pumping gas at the local gas station.

  • Peter S Krol - 7 years ago

    On the backstretch Kyle slammed into him when he cut down so if it was intentional it was just payback. Announcers said it was just hard racing guess Kyle just has to grow up ...

  • Brian - 7 years ago

    Lagano needs to learn that he can't just run over someone and not expect to get some thing in return. Him and his #2 buddy both like to just go hell bent and they have to concern for what might happen to any of the other drivers. I have seen it more time from these 2 than any other driver(s) out on that track.

  • Betty Locklear - 7 years ago

    He is a poor loser. What would happen if everyone that didn't win would start fighting? Yes he should be punished because he passed the first punch. He needs to grow up and be a man.
