The truck race was tonight and to say there was conflict in it would be an understatement. Drama started before the race had even began by drivers saying that they were going to keep Kyle Busch out of Victory Lane one way or another. Shouldn't they be more concerned with winning themselves instead of trying to keep Kyle from winning?
The race started and for the first part is pretty calm with just the occasional spins by trucks but then it came close to half way and Kyle had been getting knocked around by Elliott Sadler for a few laps, Kyle went to pass and came up in front of Sadler with not enough room so that caused Kyle to spin and hit the wall. Kyle was pissed, he wants to win more than anything and he felt Elliott deserved a little "payback". Kyle stayed on the track and waited for Elliott to come back around, when he did Kyle turned him. It didn't hurt Elliott's truck and he just needed some new tires and a fender pulled out. Kyle on the other hand was done for the night. Kyle was wrong in thinking Elliott did that move intentional but it's not like he set out to hurt Elliott or anything he just wanted him to know that he's not going to take crap from him or his boss, aka Kevin Harvick. I love that kind of passion from Kyle. He can let it all out in the trucks and Nationwide because he isn't getting points in those series, well driver points anyways.
My issue isn't will Elliott at all, mine is with the fans constantly hating on Kyle for doing the stuff that they say they want to see in the races. They complain when there isn't any conflict but when Kyle is involed in the conflict they're pissed at him. Hypocrite much? Kyle does what all of the other drivers don't have the guts to do and that's why I'm one of his biggest fans. It had been any other driver that did that did that people would be cheering it on but since it's Kyle they hate on him like no other. Well keep on hating, it only puts more fuel on the fire for him and when you look at the points standings, notice who's in first place. He's not worried with beating people up or going out and talking smack about how he'll get payback, he gets it by winning races. Kyle leaves it on the track and I can gurantee you that he could care less about Elliott Sadler right now because Kyle is one of the top Cup drivers and leading the points and number of wins for this year. NASCAR even uses Kyle's conflicts for advertising and if there was no Kyle then it would be a lot more boring. Before you go and say that Kyle sucks, come up with another word to bash him because he obviously doesn't. Kyle gets the double standard from fans and I just need to realize that I guess.
In the end, I'm a fan of a driver who wants nothing more than to be the best and won't be happy with coming in second when he knows he should have won. I don't want a driver who's fine with never winning and takes people running over them, I want a driver like Kyle who wants to be the best, get the most wins and not take any crap from anyone. I'm a fan of Kyle Busch and I'm extremely proud of what he does.
