Anytime Kyle busch is sent into the wall, its a good finish!.........I have always liked Tony Stewart, too bad Carl Edwards could not get better than 4th.

The only thing good about Kyle Busch is that he is such a jerk, he makes his obnoxious brother seem like a fairly decent guy.

exciting finish? no,not hardly. just a product of restrictor plate racing. lucky some more fans weren't hurt like at daytona earlier this year. exciting racing is when the leader gets edged at the line by a nose or somebody comes from 10th in the last few laps to win the race. it's not exciting to see a bunch of cars that had nothing to do with the idiot that caused the wreck(in this case kyle bush) get tore up.

I hate Kyle Busch more than anyone, but I have to admit he can race. Still hate him.

We are not the only ones..........Did you see the crowd reaction to the wreck and when Kyle Busch was walking from his car?....He can race, yes.....But likable, no.

Plate racing causes wrecks like this. I don't mind Kyle and like Tony. Both of them are racers that will push to the front if possible.

Exactly. I can't wait to go the New Hampshire race in the fall. Hope he crashes there too.

You don't get 2 chances to block in that kind of racing and not in up in the wall. And that goes for any driver, not just busch.

I can't believe he smashed that guitar in victory lane,actually I can believe it.

I told my wife with 5 to go that boy was going into the fence. She goes "How do you know" I said Stewart's not gonna let him lead 1 lap and win no way he's toast.lol

The way it played out it wasn't Stewarts fault, like Kyle Petty said "You block me once ok, you block me twice shame on you"

The best part was watching Pee Wee Herman lick his wounds into the meat wagon.
