After he exited his truck, on SPEED's broadcast Busch was asked, "Did you just lose your mind for a few seconds there and did you consider that Ron was in the championship?"
Busch, whose TV demeanor was calm, answered at length.
"If you consider Ron was in the championship maybe Ron could've played it a little bit smarter on Lap 15 and checked-up a little bit and given room to everybody around [him]," Busch said. "Obviously if you make it a three-wide situation -- I can't go up in the dirt. I'm already on the outside lane and there's not three lanes out here right now. It's the first race here this weekend.
"So If I just lay over and give up everything for Ron Hornaday, that's not Kyle Busch's fashion. I'm out here to win a race just as much as anybody else is. When he races up on my inside, gets loose and takes me up to the fence -- I ended up losing my cool.
"I've been wrecked four weeks in a row [including two Sprint Cup races] and finally I've just had enough of it. Sorry it was Ron Hornaday and he's going after a championship, but the fact of the matter is you can't place all the blame on one person -- there was two people that got into it to begin with and there's two people that ended it."
When Hornaday came out of the track's care center, he obviously was beside himself in his TV interview.
"I don't know, we just touched a little bit, I guess -- I don't know," Hornaday said before going off on a tangent. "He knows I'm going for a points deal, I don't know why he would do it. Anybody got a Cup car? He'll never win another championship again.
"This is just stupid. He knew what I was going for and he knew I was there [to the inside]. Oh, my God. He had to lift too, and if I had lifted I would've hit the back of that slower truck and it would've caused a big wreck.
"He just drove me in the fence. I mean, he just ruined a perfectly good race car."
Hornaday finished 34th, one spot behind Busch and is unofficially 48 points out of the lead, in fourth. Dillon finished second to Harvick and can now clinch his first Truck Series championship by finishing 16th or better in the Homestead finale, 17th or better if he leads one lap or 18th or better if he leads the most laps
.....KB is a talented driver, just not real wise.....yet
