"I didn't see Brad coming. Kyle Busch was crying like a little girl after the race, and he came up and was whining because I was racing him so hard. I thought this was racing, I thought this was what we were supposed to do. "We were racing for the win, and he's crying about it. I don't know what he wants."
Busch's viewpoint? "Brian hung on my right-rear quarter panel all the way down the front straightaway and gave the win away. He slowed us down so much. He had no idea Brad was coming, and Brad just drove right by both of us on the outside. It was just stupid. If he (Vickers) would have ran his own line up at the top of the track, and I held my line down at the bottom, it could have been a battle between us. Unfortunately you race with idiots and I guess you'll have that sometimes. I'm sure I'm complaining, and I'm whining, and I'm a cry-baby…but that's uncalled for. It's just stupid. He didn't deserve to win. He (Vickers) bobbled in three; I got under him coming off of four, and got all the way down to the grass trying to get away from him, and he just hung on my right-rear quarter-panel side-drafting me and wasn’t paying attention to the mirror. Ever since Richmond (in May), I've had a problem with him (Vickers). This is just another escalation of that."
