Damn,
Pull your "I hate Kyle Busch" t-shirt from over your head so that you can
see the reality of this situation.
JPM is a spoiled, coddled ex- (cough,cough) champion from the pointy car
world and because of that, feels he deserves some sort of special treatment.
Half of the time he is out of control on the racetrack, the other half he is
pushing, banging & beating the drivers around him. No matter where Montoya
is in a race, he is getting into someone.
Kyle Busch ain't takin' Montoya's crap & apparently Montoya doesn't like it.
But here's something to consider in this situation:
Kyle Busch is the points leader while Montoya is running 20th in points.
Both have a similar attitude toward other drivers when racing against them,
but KB has the benefit of being a far better driver in stock cars.
I love how Montoya reverted into some unintelligible form of Columbian
babble when cornered by the pit reporter as to why he did what he did.
And another thing, isn't it strange that since this incident, we have seen
nothing on replay of any of these supposed numerous incidents where KB is
beating all over JPM's car. With the dozens of cameras recording the race
from practically every conceivable angle, wouldn't you think that at least
ONE of them would have caught KB roughing up Pablito at least ONCE for all
to see?
Perhaps it was because these incidents were nothing more than the close
quarter racing that you see dozens of times in every race at every short
track in Na$car - only JPM took a little "rubbin' " as an affront to his
manhood as he usually does while behind the wheel of his racecar.
