Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch: Coke Zero 400, Daytona, July 4th weekend


I have been meaning to write this blog since the Coke Zero 400 held in Daytona over July 4th weekend, but I put it off on purpose because I wanted to wait and see what was said about the incident that involved Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch. I am glad I waited.

While I am sure many of you will not want to hear my rantings on Kyle Busch again, this is a free world and, of course, I have the Freedom of Speech in this nation. So, once again, I am going to divulge my thoughts on this incident.

First of all, Tony Stewart did no wrong on the last lap of the Coke Zero 400. He was racing, and that is what a race car driver does. It was very unfortunate that Kyle Busch did get past him to try and win, but the way Kyle Busch went about it, was wrong. I do not care if anyone reading this thinks that my opinion is wrong as well. Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart were racing, each one doing what they are supposed to be doing to win, but when Kyle Busch blocked Tony Stewart, which he is supposed to do, he did in the wrong way. He wants to blame Tony for the wreck, but in all essence, it was Kyle Busch’s fault. He went to block that second time, and well, he caused his own self to be taken out.

Secondly, Tony Stewart had nothing to do with that incident. He was there, with the nose of his race car on the outside of Kyle Busch’s, and well, when Kyle went to block again, he caused the touch that sent him spinning. Tony was going for the win the right way, the only way he could, and Kyle tried to slam the door on him. Instead, he got slammed into the wall. All from his own wrongdoing. Kyle Busch is so hell bent on winning, he does not stop to think that he cannot win every time. I know that all the drivers out there think that they can win, and most of them will, but one must stop to think that one cannot win every weekend.

Thirdly, Kyle Busch needs to grow up and be a man and show some spirit, even if he does not win. Even if he does not win, but he comes in second, like he did over this past weekends Nationwide Series race in Chicago, he gets out and runs and declines to speak to reporters. This shows right there that he is a sore loser.

Tony Stewart was racing for the win. He did what he had to do in order to get that win at the Coke Zero 400. He should not have beat himself up over how he won the race. It was not his fault. The blame is purely Kyle Busch. He is the only one to blame for him not winning and not being a man.
