Compelling questions … and maybe a few actual answers
Thumbs-up for Kyle Busch after New Hampshire runner-up?
A slightly hesitant thumbs-up, but a thumbs-up nonetheless. Kyle generally seems OK with rough-and-tumble racing whenever he turns out on top, but hes not always fine when hes the victim. Sunday at New Hampshire, he was the victim as Kevin Harvick gave him the thump-and-run in the late laps. It was enough to move onlookers to the edge of their seats, wondering what might follow.
And nothing?
Not much. Kyle did say, How you race is how you get raced, which some might see as an ominous warning to Harvick. But it also couldve been Kyle admitting that hes been in Harvicks shoes before and shouldnt complain about being on the other side of that transaction. Also, theres this: Not many guys in that garage want to mess with Kevin Harvick. That mightve also played a role in Kyles newfound congeniality.
