Wallace calls Busch a “Little Girl”
Obviously Busch wasn't happy about it and let Wallace know after the race.
“Steven Wallace got a better run off the corner than I did and instead of pulling out and passing, he hit me in the back end and jacked me up, jacked me sideways and luckily I was able to straighten it out and get in Turn 3 behind him and he probably knew I was going to spin him up so he moved up the track and let me go by him," Busch said. “And we came home third and instead of him passing me clean and ending up third, he ended up fifth. Just being an idiot. So I went up and I told him, you mess with the bull, you’re going to get the horns. I didn’t appreciate what he did, so I told him what I thought about it. You can get hurt very easily here."
After the race, Busch went up and leaned his head into Wallace’s car.
“I basically told him that you mess with the bull, you’re going to get the horns, then he wanted to grab my helmet which is pretty childish again," Busch said. “We’ll see what happens here in the future, and if he wants to play those games, he’s going to get hurt."
Wallace responded.
“I don’t know what he was saying, but I jerked him by the helmet just to rattle his cage a little bit and just to tell him I wasn’t happy with it," said the Rusty Wallace Racing driver, who earned a career-best fifth-place finish in the race. “He’s just a little girl about it. I’d say it’s pretty bad when they call drivers introduction, everybody in the grandstands boos you."
