Indefinite probation for Richard Childress?

According to a member of a Truck team who asked not to be identified, Childress took off his jewelry before approaching Busch in the garage area and struck him with his fist. The two were separated, traded insults and then Childress grabbed Busch in a headlock and struck him again before the incident was broken up.

The crew member said Childress initiated the incident.

Good for the old man, but I really wonder if he'll get the same penalty Robby got.

Yeah, he would willingly leave the best team to go to a car that hadn't been good since Bobby won his championship. This might be a shock but every press release isn't always completely honest. To be honest, I wish Kyle drove for someone like Red Bull who didn't care how he behaved and he could drive like he wanted to. It would at least be fun to watch.

And try to act like an adult. The snarky comments at the end of every post really aren't necessary.

Kyle had it coming for a long time, he cries even when someone races him cleanly. He's just upset because he got beat by a rookie on the last lap.

As expected, Nascar is making noises about 'appropriate' action to Richard, while saying that KB seems to be blameless. Typical. It probably occurred to them that the next step for KB was sitting out a race or two, and gosh, that would hurt the show, so can't do that.

the thing is that Kyle didn't start the fight, Richard did. Kyle didn't do anything harmful, he's just guilty of being a cry baby.

yes, but when it comes to ratings.. KB is part of the show regardless what the drama is.

Kyle didn't start the fight. Kyle didn't even respond when Grandpa lost his shit.

Grandpa on the other hand......

I suspect there is much more to the story. Childress has been around the block too many times to let something like a tire mark from another car set him off. What provoke him had to have been far, far more serious to warrant going after Kyle like he did.

It might be as simple as one guy tearing up stuff in multiple series, need'd a dose of whip ass to get the f away from my stuff.Some have to learn the hard way(shrub).Richard probably warn'd him(bark) and Richard give him the bite.I'll bet Scrub doesn't mess with him again!
