Every fan would undeniably love to know what their favorite driver is going through at a given time during the race. And these radio conversations are a gateway to that. However, there have been numerous instances where Cup Series drivers have hurled an earful of curses at their fellow drivers out of frustration. Things may take a bitter turn, as drivers often heave their frustrations over their headsets. And things that are spoken over the waves are not bleeped out.
There has been a precedent where Kurt Busch considered that all radio conversations should remain private, or as he termed it “eavesdropping.” A similar incident took place on Sunday at the All-Star-Racing at North Wilkesboro Speedway. And at the center of this controversy is Team Penske’s driver, Ryan Blaney. The #12 had heaved a few curse words towards the Richard Childress Racing driver, Kyle Busch.
This was revealed by the NASCAR reporter, Chris Knight, through his tweet. He posted on his profile, “Before the yellow, Blaney was animated on the radio. Ryan Blaney: “F*** Kyle, give me a chance to get out of your way d$%#@ head. I am assuming he meant Kyle Busch.”
