REBELRACER Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Car owner Rick Hendrick watched nervously from his home the final laps of the race at Dover recovering from a touch of the flu; however that didn’t stop him from getting word to his rookie driver #5-Kyle Busch prior to racing teammate #48-Jimmie Johnson for the win. “I called Doug Duchardt (V.P. of Development) and I said give Alan Gustafson (Busch’s crew chief) a message…tell him to tell Kyle not to do anything stupid…(laughs) Then when the flag dropped on the green, white, checkered I said evidently he didn’t get the message. So, Monday morning I said, you didn’t get my message? Kyle said…I got it….I wasn’t on him…I didn’t touch him! I said, well it was too close for me. But it was good race and a good result what kind of crap is this..........if i was paying millions of dollars and the sponsors were paying millions of dollars i would be pissed if the guy in second didnt do all he could to win, but apparently hendrick is giving team orders, i knew it would happen.........

champ1796 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Looks like both cars might have been illegal on top of it, both measured too high in the rear in post race inspections, cheater springs!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Looks like both cars might have been illegal on top of it, both measured too high in the rear in post race inspections, cheater springs!!!!!! More likely "creative" shocks than cheater springs. Nick Holt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSEPOWER Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 It look as if Kyle has come a long way in a short time. I remember him at the Sowball Derby a few years back, he was driving into every one with that top notch equipment. Not that he's not in some thing top notch now.

MIKE JONES Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 He should be happy his name isn't Terry or he probably wouldn't get the top notch equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
