Kyle Busch gave his opinion on Richard Childress’ recent comments about Stenhouse Jr.
Richard Childress, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, is widely respected as a team owner in the sport and has made significant contributions to racing. One of his notable qualities is his willingness to stand up for his team and drivers against anyone. Recently, he issued a warning to Stenhouse Jr. about the potential consequences if he continues to retaliate.
Childress informed Stenhouse Jr. that he will face serious consequences if he persists in seeking revenge for the second lap incident during the Nort Wilkesboro All-Star Race. Last week, drama unfolded at NWB, with Stenhouse Jr. physically confronting Busch after the race, resulting in heavy penalties imposed by NASCAR on Stenhouse Jr.
Kyle Busch recently responded to his boss’s threat and recalled a similar incident where he was on the losing side. He acknowledged that Richard Childress is deeply passionate about the sport, his team, and his drivers, and it is in his nature to protect what is his.
Elton Sawyer, NASCAR’s Senior Vice President, emphasized on SiriusXM radio why they imposed severe penalties on Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and his team. Sawyer stated that NASCAR will always respond harshly to family members and teams who engage in altercations between drivers.
This means that if Childress follows through on his promise in the future regarding a possible confrontation between Stenhouse Jr. and Busch, he can expect the same level of consequences. It will be intriguing to see how the situation of penalties and the rivalry between the two will unfold in the future.
