Edwards, naturally, saw the incident very different than Kyle Busch did.
“The way this works is: you know, a real smart racer once explained it to me this way after he had wrecked me and I was real mad,” Edwards said. “He said, ‘I just had to look at your rear bumper and decide if you would do it to me, and you had, so it was a real simple decision.’
Busch gave a clipped answer when he was asked if he now has a full-blown rivalry with Edwards. The rivalry is good because now more Busch and Edwards merchandise will be sold. The bigger the rivalry becomes, the more it profits NASCAR.
“How many do I need?” he asked, suggesting his eight race victories in Cup this season, and 17 overall across NASCAR’s three top series, make him the driver everyone wants to target.
Let’s make this real clear, too: Busch has been terrific on the track all season, and he drove a fantastic race at Bristol. He took the lead on Lap 55 and held it until Edwards’ bump-and-run with 31 to go. But in the end he became merely another footnote at the venue where the laps led leader has failed to claim victory in the last six events held there.
