Richard Childress taught him a lesson or two:

According to several sources, Childress removed his watch and handed it to grandson Austin Dillon before walking up to Busch.

Childress apparently didn't like what he heard from Busch upon speaking with the driver, and the 65-year-old grandfather placed Busch in a headlock and punched him two or three times.

Busch then went to the ground in a defensive position to avoid further injury, but Childress attempted to punch Busch again after he rose.

SPEED's Ray Dunlap reported Busch may have suffered a black eye in the incident. http://www.sbnation.com/nascar/2011/...tercation-2011

LOL at Childress.

Pussy move.

Attracking a guy he knows is under probation and can't fight back. He should be suspended for the rest of the year, if true.

Childress/Busch clash reports being investigated

NASCAR looking into stories of an altercation between owner and owner/driver

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- NASCAR is looking into reports of an altercation between team owner Richard Childress and owner/driver Kyle Busch, NASCAR officials confirmed Saturday.
Details were sketchy, but the altercation reportedly occurred after Saturday's Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway, won by Clint Bowyer, who drives for Childress in the Sprint Cup Series.
Pit reporter Ray Dunlap posted the following on his Twitter account after the race: "Hot news from the track. Grandpa Childress put a whipping on Kyle Busch in the Truck garage. Look for big sun glasses on kubu sun."
(Dunlap actually meant "KyBu," the twitter shorthand for Kyle Busch. "KuBu" refers to brother Kurt Busch.)
Later, Jeff Gluck of SB Nation reported, "Kyle Busch was put into a headlock and punched several times by famed team owner Richard Childress before falling to the ground, according to several people with direct knowledge of an altercation ..."
Busch finished sixth in his No. 18 Toyota after racing hard for fifth against RCR driver Joey Coulter, who passed Busch for the position on the final lap. After the checkered flag, Busch drove up beside Coulter and bumped the No. 22 truck.
Busch is on probation for all NASCAR events through June 15, the result of a post-race, pit-road confrontation between Busch and Kevin Harvick at Darlington.

Not a fan of Kyle Busch so I can't be too upset about it.

Me neither, just dropped him from my office pool too. I hope everybody else has him, cause he may sit tomorrow for that little bumb he did.

This.

He should also be thrown a parade.

I hope Kyle gets his ass kicked again, but I don't need him suspended. I have him in my 2 car nascar bet.

[Zdfjpbth]

Sportscenter says this isn't about Kyle Busch, if any action is taken it will be against Childress.

[Pheddytrourry]

So they fine Childress and move on. As far as I'm concerned, and I'm sure Childress, it was well worth it. Childress is my new favorite person in Nascar.

[Sarah Armstrong]

Childress gets fined $150,000, and probation. How is it that Kyle Busch could have hurt more people than just giving someone a black eye and he only gets fined $25,000?

[BoboStin]

I'm glad Busch got put in his place. He's been better in terms of his cockiness, but he's still too smug about things out there. Sometimes a guy needs to be put into his place to get his head out of his ass and see what is right. I wonder if that happened here.

I'm not happy Childress lost his cool and did what he did, but sometimes a message needs to be sent in no uncertain terms. That was done, I hope.

It was unintentional. Duchebag Harvick was trying to punch him while he was sitting in a car. Another gutless act.

I don't like Bush either, but I find it hilarious how people cheer and defend 2 gutless acts.

A lot of this bullshit is why I've lost some interest in NASCAR in the last few years. Partly because Jr. hasn't had much success, but mainly because of all these stupid rules changes, stupid fines and suspensions, and whiny-ass bitch drivers who need to let their driving speak for themselves or duke it out on the track like Donny Allison and Cale Yarborough in 1979 in the infield. It used to be that "rubbin' was racin'". That most certainly doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Outside of a few drivers (Mark Martin for sure not whiny) all the drivers bitch about how someone was being stupid and not careful and that led to them being punted into the wall, etc. and ultimately out of the race. How about just chalking it up to a driver racing competitively? Granted there are some instances where the driver doing the damage was being just plain stupid, but it's still because the driver was trying to take a chance to make something positive happen for himself and his team. Some of these guys need to learn how to be the hammer and not the nail. This sport is all about being competitive and doing what you need to do to come out on top. Sometimes trying to come out on top means you come out on the bottom, because the chance you took yielded the wrong results.

The lucky dog should be done away with.

Take Pocono, 2.5 mile track; If you are down 1 lap and fixin' to go down 2 laps and the caution comes out, If you are the first car 1 lap down- you get almost 5 miles back.

then you pit mostly by yourself after the lead lap cars pit. You can fix your car if there's something wrong. You can fill up with gas and be better than the other lead lap cars in that way. Hell, if its late in the race you can refill several times druing a long caution and maybe some of the folks in front of you can't make it to the end on fuel.

It shouldn't be done away with, it's for safety. No racing to the line to get your lap back.

I don't remember any crashes involving people racing back to the line.

It's a stupid rule and it rewards mediocrity.
