Bump n run?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGwL6AwlBAM
I know this isn't the greatest video in the world. But, if you was the Clerk of the Course, and you had to make the call, was this deliberate? Did the #9 car crash the #77 on purpose? |

Does anyone have the video of Kurt bumping someone, then nextweek being bumped back into the wall, only for Kurt to get out of the car and moon them? Who was that? (Rustyfan?)

I see nothing wrong with that move in the video, it was perfectly legitimate.

It started in October 2001 at Phoenix, where Jimmy Spencer - who was a lap down at the time - put Kurt Busch in the wall. Busch, who at that time was in his rookie year, had been running in the top-10 and was, understandably, less than thrilled with missing out on a good finish. Five months later during the spring race at Bristol in 2002, Spencer was leading the race with less than 50 laps to go when Busch gave him a hard shot in the rear and bumped him out of the way. Spencer managed to save the car and eventually wound up second. It was after this incident the feud started to pick up some momentum, as Spencer was anything but pleased after the race: “We don’t forget. When I smash back, he won’t finish.” Another five months later, in August, the Winston Cup Series moved on to Indianapolis for the Brickyard 400. 36 laps into the race Busch passed Spencer going down the backstretch and as they entered turn 3 Spencer tagged Busch in the rear, sending him hard into the wall. As the pace car lead the field past the scene of the crash, Busch - who had remained at his car after climbing out unhurt - gestured at Spencer... ...and then showed his displeasure by giving Spencer "the Evil Arse": After Busch came out of the infield and met the press, he uttered the following: Quote:
Now you ask yourself, was that the last round in the Busch vs. Spencer feud? Was Busch's arsetacular display at Indianapolis enough to put the feud to rest once and for all? Of course not. A year later in August of 2003, after the second race of the year at Michigan had just finished, Kurt Busch was driving through the garage area to get to his hauler. Unfortunately he ran out of fuel on the way and, for some reason, just happened to stop right in front of Jimmy Spencer's hauler. Moments later Busch was struck from behind by none other than Spencer himself. Spencer was angry. No, make that very angry. Fuming he exited his car and went over to the #97 Ford, which Busch - perhaps wisely - hadn't left yet and punched him right on the nose! Spencer was suspended for one week following the skirmish and Kurt Busch was put on probation after it surfaced that Kurt Busch had told his crew chief during the race that he was trying to flatten Spencer's fender on purpose to mess up his race: Quote:
As for a video of the "mooning", I haven't found one online. I believe I have it on tape somewhere, but I no longer have the means - well that are installed & ready anyway - to make a capture of it. |

The Spencer/Busch deal was pretty funny, you don't see a lot of that with the "political correctness" present today.
As for the video I don't see a problem with it. I've never understood all of the on track regulations and marshal interference they have in non-stock car racing. Like if you would bump someone they make you pass through the pits or no blocking rules. That stuff just seems strange to me. J.D. |
