Actually he punched ot Kyle Busch, not Kevin.
kyle should not be bumping rookie drivers just trying to learn. i think he got what was coming to him .
Let's see............Childress' first name is Richard, right? Headline should be "Dick punches dickhead".
Well, Richard Childress owned the truck Kyle Busch banged on, as well as the Kevin Harvick car that Kyle ran into the pit wall at Talladega after that race... Maybe he's just tired of seeing his equipment torn up after a race.... Haven't really heard Childress' side of the story, as usual Kyle is running his mouth to anybody who'll listen. Busch is a good racer, but his "people skills" still need some refining, who knows what was said before Childress put him in a headlock and started pounding on him???
Unfortunately, even in racing the media has to jump in and put their twist on stuff and turn non-issues into issues.... If you've never seen a car owner take to punching on a driver after a race, I would suggest you haven't been around circle tracks much when the racing is over. To paraphrase one of the announcers on Sunday, when NASCAR said "Have at it, boys.", maybe they should have added, "Just look out for the men who own the cars".....
IMO if Kyle wants to keep banging on cars all over the race track like the "good old days", he'd probably better be ready to settle for some of the results that go with crashing other people's cars....
Childress told that punk ass b***h Kyle that there would be consequences the next time he messed with RCR equipment. This was evidently the consequence. C'mon guys, this is NASCAR, not Formula 1. I just loved the mealy mouthed interview Busch gave at Kansas. Maybe you can tell I'm not a Busch brothers fan.
You can pair this down to it's simplest form but the realty these are multi sponsors that support multi million dollar races and racing operations.It is for that fact alone those sponsors can dictate how that image is portrayed.RC surely has been in the business long enough to know those days of a sandy beach racing have long passed and how his actions put sponsorships at risk.It is because of it being a multi billion dollar business that NASCAR needs to show those sponsors no tolerance policy.We very well might have a image in our mind of what NASCAR is,but again the truth is something quite different.Car owners can't be involved it stuff like this.Hummm-now if RC got one of his tire changers to do it for him................LOL
Wingman has it right. RC warned Kyle after Talladega, and Kyle elected to bash the rookie after the race here in KS. RC had no choice but to follow through and teach the brat a lesson, and he went to the garage preparing for action. I believe that if you poll the fans you will find that they support RC and his actions vs Kyle. Sponsors follow the fan reaction - RC is liable to get a bonus for the KS race, even if NASCAR gives him a token slap on the wrist.
I couldn't even watch the race and commentary about that RC - Rowdy mayhem. The local Fox station had a telethon pre empting NA$CAR. I would NOT have wanted to have been an operator at WXXA yesterday between 12 and 2. Would not have been nice. They had all winter to do those things that maybe 19 people watch, all relatives of the participants vs thousands that watch NA$CAR:mad::CRY:
From what I saw on Nascar.com, chrildress was fined 150K and put on probation until the end of the year.
What a bunch of crap. They should have paid him 150K just to knock some sense in that little jerk.
ONLY $150,000? I'll bet that there are at least 150,000 fans that would pay $1 each to see Mr. Childress kick that whiner's butt again......Apparently charm school didnt help Kyle B quite as much as it helped his brother.
Put me down for $10.00!!! Eventually that kid is going to have to learn that you can't be pushin' and shovin' all the time on the track, then run and hide in your motorhome when someone takes offense to your actions!!! This crap of bangin' on somebody's car AFTER the checkers is wrong, don't care who does it!!!
Sounds like poor sportsmanship..So this is the lead on from the garbage I saw in Talladega??In the pit road?He seemed to be acting like a little kid then,,so if he got a knuckle sandwich,,,so be it..Quote:

If you were an Italian kid, that would have been called a "dope slap". I'm not, but my half German mom used an occasional one on me anyhow:LOL:
(Put me down for 10 bucks as well:cool:)
Ol' Joe Gibbs has his work cut out for him. If you watch Busch the younger, anytime he's in a face to face "confrontation" outside the car he goes passive. He gets aggressive when he's got a 3500# weapon under his butt, pure dangerous. I'm not sure why NASCAR decided to "authorize" that by not giving him some sort of punishment to get his attention. The one sidedness of the fine sends a bad message to the kid...........it's okay to use the car as a weapon. Fine 'em both or neither.
Another observation; in the pre-race show for the CC 600 they had some driver clips. One was Ryan Newman being approached by a fan holding out a trinket for an autograph. Newman takes the piece, looks at the fan, smiles, signs, smiles again as he hands it back and says a word or two. Then on to the next fan whil walking.
Next image is Kyle Busch doing a similar walk. Fan approaches, holds out a picture or program or whatever. Busch reaches over, takes the piece, scribbles his auto, and pushes it back. Not for one millisecond did he look at the fan, or acknowledge him an any other way, pretty much a robo-signing. Body language can reveal a lot about the character within.
If you were in your early 20s, wouldn't it be a little embarassing that the several hundred people around you every week in the garage area knew that you got your ass kicked by a 60+ year old man? Can you only imagine the jokes going around the garage and race shops right now about poor little Kyle, gives a new meaning to the kickname 'Rowdy'. :LOL::LOL::LOL:
Mike
And just to add insult to injury,,our Taranaki newspaper has a small snippet in the motoring section this morning,stating that Kyle Busch was pulled over in North Carolina for doin 205 km/h in a 70km/h zone,while trying out his new Lexus LFA..He said he got ''carried away''...So he got done for speeding,careless and reckless driving...
Dont know when this happened,so maybe you folks up there have already heard about it..
That was LAST weeks Kyle Busch screw up. He has a visit scheduled with a judge in a few weeks. The way the North Carolina law is written, he will most likely lose his driver's license for a while and could conceivably go to jail, but in reality, will probably get a "whopping" fine for you and me, but chump change for a multi millionaire.Quote:

Nascar said boy's have at it, they should let em have at it. If they fined Richard they should have fined Kyle for Taledega................................ Just My 2 1/2 Cents....................
You are kidding...Smash up a trophy??What a little flogger...And yes,,I think maybe he deserves a serving or two of RCs punishment..I saw that little episode,and wondered what he had done to incur the smack he got thru the window...Pity the guy didnt get another one in while he could...Has his brother[?] got the same bad manners??Quote:

Kyle Busch accepts lovely guitar trophy, then smashes it - From the Marbles - NASCAR*Blog - Yahoo! Sports
It sure does seem to me too that Kyle needs to be fined and sat down for awhile.
Kyle's attitude is going to get some one hurt. Just like his NC incident 128 mph in a 45 mph zone. he could have injured someone with his wreckless actions. His ego has made him dangerous !!!!
