Jimmie Johnson was less than pleased with some of what happened Saturday night at Richmond. After the race, Kurt Busch made it clear he isn't happy with Johnson.
Kurt Busch would have you believe that he has gotten inside the head of five-time defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson heading into the Sprint Cup Chase.
Then why was it Busch who seemingly lost his head after Saturday night's regular-season finale at Richmond International Raceway? (Hope that question was acceptable, Tony Stewart.)
The Penske Racing driver was more out of control during the postrace news conferences than he was on the track when he resumed his ongoing feud with Johnson, spinning him out on Lap 185, which later resulted in retaliation.
It began with a simple but legitimate question by a reporter on pit road who asked Busch if he or Johnson could win the championship as long as they continued their rough stuff on the track.
Actually, the reporter got only halfway through the question when, according to witnesses, Busch interrupted, gave a pointed answer and walked away. As Busch left, the reporter said it was a legitimate question because of incidents at Infineon Raceway, Chicagoland, New Hampshire and Pocono over the past two seasons.
That logic apparently didn't sit well with Busch. According to reports by those on the scene, the driver turned and began a profanity-laced tirade at the reporter, then approached him before being physically restrained by members of his team.
It didn't end there. Inside the media center Busch was asked by another reporter -- the one Stewart berated on Friday for asking what he called a not-so-original question -- about his comment that "I know we're inside his [Johnson's] head."
