NASCAR's Kyle Busch apologizes for calling Brad Keselowski the r-word after Martinsville crash
Fox News
Kyle Busch has apologized for using an insensitive term during a post-race interview on Sunday. Busch said Brad Keselowski's attempt to pass him late in the race was "freaking r------d".
Busch and Brad Keselowski were running in second and third place on the final overtime lap of the Xfinity 500, when Keselowski ran into the back of Busch's car on the final stretch and nearly wrecked him before the finish line.
Both needed a win to advance to the Championship 4 in the season finale at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday, Nov. 7, but second place would have been good enough for Busch had race winner Alex Bowman been penalized for any rules violations found during his car's post-race inspection.
"I mean, where was he going? What was he going to do? Spin me out? He was trying to do a Harvick is what he was trying to do. For what? For second place? For what? He wasn’t going to transfer through with that. Freaking retarded, man," Busch said during a post-race interview.
