Busch’s radio wasn’t any nicer with Saturday’s Truck race winner telling his crew (with a number of f-bombs eliminated): “Go inform that [expletive] 77 he is achieved the identical transfer ten instances. I do not care if I wreck the entire [expletive] subject, I am over him. He is a [expletive] d-bag. I am gonna wreck his ass.”

Because the race went on, the 22-year-old remained some of the entertaining drivers on observe, throwing his automobile into tight areas and preserving himself close to the entrance always. But it surely wasn’t lengthy earlier than he drew the ire of one other Cup champion — Ryan Blaney.

He then admitted that “there’s some stuff I obtained to study and clear up just a little bit, however I really feel like we put ourselves within the good alternative to attempt to win a race. I’ve by no means had that chance actually earlier than, particularly on a superspeedway. So, only a massive day at present for everyone at Spire Motorsports. They deserve all of the reward.
