Is there a budding rivalry between Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch? Over the past few weeks, the action on the track has been heated. NASCAR’s new double file restart rule has played a large part in the driver’s tempers flaring a bit. One battle that has escalated is the battle between Kurt Busch and Jimmie Johnson. A series of incidents came to a head last weekend in Chicago when Johnson got loose and washed up the racetrack. Busch was to the outside of Johnson and as Johnson went up the track he got into Busch, resulting in Busch coming down on Johnson. Busch was left with a tire rub and an angry disposition. When asked about the incident post race Busch was quick to say I’ve lost respect for the 48” Those are strong words from Busch, of course in the heat of the moment, but never the less it came out of his mouth.
Both are champions in their own right Busch won the Cup title in 2004 and Johnson is a three-time and reigning Sprint Cup Series Champion. Both are in the top ten in the standings. This battle could rage on and turn into a rivalry, something NASCAR and its fan desperately want and need. What wrong with a little heated competition on the racetrack that gets personal every once in a while?
