Fans of the NASCAR share their thoughts on Kyle Busch’ recent traffic stop connected to a supposed concealed weapon…..

A victory Sunday would have ended Busch’s long winless streak in stock car racing’s most important event. Instead, Busch was knocked out of the race in a multi-car accident, and he placed blame squarely on Logano.

Logano, who led 43 laps, tried to use the middle lane to squeeze past Ricky Stenhouse. Stenhouse dropped into the space Logano was eyeing, and they collided. The resulting accident damaged Busch’s car.

“It looks like the fastest car got in a hurry to get to the wreck,” said Busch, now 0-for-20 in the 500. “Logano was by far the fastest car today. He could about do anything. The Penske cars were very strong. With a few laps to go, he’s trying to make a hole through the middle that wasn’t there. And created chaos.

“We had a fast car and were in position and just kind of biding our time. You have to know how wide your race car is to find a hole it will fit in, and he obviously doesn’t know that.”

Logano, among the tour’s most aggressive drivers in crowded late-race driving conditions, said it was time to make a move with the race winding down.

“From my perspective, I felt like to win the race I had to get to the second row in my line there,” he said. “I was in third and needed to get to second. I saw the opportunity to drop down and get underneath the 47 (Stenhouse) and have another Ford behind me. Then the 47 threw a late block there.

“I checked up for it and it looked like he was going to go back up and grab the top lane, so I went back in to try and close the gap again but he kept coming down. I am checking up, but at that point the checkup has already happened behind me and everybody is all over each other. I can’t get out of it and then we made contact.”

Busch, who also said he was frustrated by the way NASCAR officials dealt with his damaged car after the accident, finished 34th. Logano was 35th.
