Kyle did absolutely nothing wrong there, it was completely Hornaday's fault. All Kyle is doing is trying to get points and money for his owner Billy Balloo (poor spelling I know). So of course he's going to push to the front right at the drop of the green flag, sooner he get's out front the sooner he takes control of how and when people try and get by him.

Busch is such a dink and he should be off the track and I knew J.R. was going to be involved.

To bad for JR. Welcome to Nascar where Kyle cares about no one. Mickey keeps saying gave him all the room give me a break you have to be so aggressive on the first lap?

get a grip you dont have a clue what your talking about....run some laps in something or maybe attend a race live then your opinion will be worth something,man im so sick of it in general. BTW have you read the COC

It was a RACING thing , you have Hornaday ( racing for a repeat championship ) and BUSCH ( racing just to race , looking to lead all the laps and win ) starting side by side up front, its common sense that somethings going to happen if not on the 1st lap sometime within the 1st 5.

Too bad for the #71 and JR but it could of happened anytime during the race and anyone could have been involved.

Kyle is just a dink. He had to be there on lap one? I just hate the guy he could careless about anyone else but himself. Maybe the guy will grow up one of these years. I'm so glad he did so bad in the chase.

how strong is the coc when the writer of it can break it. ps ITS RACING your suppose to try and pass people.this one is on horniday all by his lonesome. ps is it cro or evan that thinks that kyle is a d***.i thought this kind of language was not allowed in your living room.

Side Note:

I didn't think the word I used was foul language. If I offended anyone I'm sorry. No special rules for me with language and glad someone pointed it out. I was just so upset to see what happened and wanted J.R. to have a good finish.

I have an opinion. I have been to many races and by your comments you mean everyone that watches races on TV don't have an opinion or know nothing about racing?

Here my opinion without having watched the race (was busy). Hornaday is one of those losers that tears up so much equipment no one wants to give him a ride. Remeber his cup days anyone? So Harvick feels bad for the guy, because he let him sleep on his couch years back and gives him a ride. Yeah he wins a few races, but what do you expect from a guy that has been running for 100 years, against even skilled drivers like JR without the track experince?

I'm sure Bush put more pressure on him than he could handle. But any pressure is more than Hornaday can handle.

The whole system is kinda funny if you think about it. In professional sports, when you move up a level and don't make it you are done. It like if you don't make it in the NFL, you don't move back down to high school ball. What we have here, is a 50 year old fool, with 30 years of experince, out on the highschool ball field...

So does that mean that when those NASCAR guys ran with CASCAR a few years back, they were playing soccer with a bunch of Grade 8s? When D.J. and Jason Hathaway ran at Grand Bend with the mini-trucks, was it like playing kickball with preschoolers?

If hockey players can go from the NHL to the European league, why can't guys go from Cup or Nationwide to Trucks? I know I'm going to incur someone's wrath here, but to win three truck championships, Hornaday clearly has some talent behind the wheel. You don't have that much success in a series that is that competitive just by dumb luck and decent equipment.

Hornaday took responsibility for the wreck. He told his crew that he had dialed in too much rear break into his truck. This was reported on the telecast. Kyle had nothing to do with it. (BTW, I'm not a Busch fan. Kyle or Kurt). Too bad about JR. I was hoping he'd have a good showing. On a side note, I was going through some old and odd racing stuff the other day and found some CASCAR hero cards with JR and his dad in the purple Chips Ahoy cars. If JR makes it big in NASCAR, maybe I can get rich off these cards .lol

Talk about not knowing a driver , I have met Ron Hornaday on 5 different occasions , could not ask for a nicer guy and if you knew the TRUE history on him you would know theres more good than bad in it.

His CUP days were with AJ FOYT ( after getting shoved aside in favor of Mikey Waltrip for the #15 NAPA CHEVY at DEI ) and was not a top calibre team to start with. as for tearing up equipment , he has been the recipient more than the cause over the years.
