After two stints at the tracks of Stafford Motor Speedway, the Superstar Racing Experience this week moved to Pulaski County Motorsports Park to host the third race of the season. The track, which is characterized by a blend of dirt and short paved tracks, surely posed a challenge to most of the drivers, as the whole roster for Thursday’s race has never raced on the track.
And assuredly so, the entire field witnessed numerous wrecks, the most striking one being the five-car wreck that left most of the drivers visibly fuming at Tracy Paul, the initiator of the on-track debacle. However, the controversies did not seem to end there, as Kyle Busch seemed to have added fuel to another controversy after wrecking his fellow driver.

In the third race of the series, NASCAR enthusiasts witnessed the new entrants of the part-time racers of the series, including 2x Cup Series champion Kyle Busch and Clint Bowyer and also IndyCar champion Josef Newman. Nonetheless, Busch, who is surely not running low on his trophy count, made sure he did not falter in his part-time appearance in the SRX Series. The driver went on to score a victory in his first appearance, but the victory is surely controversial and contentious in nature.
The reason being, Kyle Busch made contact with his fellow Cup Series driver and the full-time debutant, Brad Keselowski, in order to notch his victory. Moreover, Busch acknowledged the fact post-race in his interview with the Frontstretch.
He expressed, “I wasn’t even really thinking, it was time to pass him yet, I was still going to save and wait for a little bit to be able to get run on them, but I had got a run on him out of four and I am like well da*n okay I will take it.”
“I got up alongside of his door getting into turn 1 and we made contact. He tried to turn down and get back to the bottom groove and I was already there,” Busch added.
The incident occurred at Lap 57 when Busch took the lead and tried to outpass Keselowski. Kyle Busch hit the bumper of Keselowski which eventually spun the co-owner of RFK Racing and was sent back into the field and also with the issuance of caution.

In the post-race interview, Busch had also asserted, it was the work of the spotters, and their absence was glaringly visible through the incident. Even the co-owner of the series Tony Stewart asserted the same fact after a wreck carnage ensued on the track during the race.
Tony Stewart revealed to the media, “That’s really what it is. We need to work on our window nets a little bit to make our mirrors a little more affective. When you’re aiming for your mark, looking out your windshield, it’s easy with these cars to not see someone under you and we can probably make that better.”
The co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing completed the race in 3rd position after Kyle Busch and Clint Bowyer.

Nevertheless, with the Cup Series race at Richmond being right around the corner, it is to be seen whether Kyle Busch is able to maintain his winning streak and bag his fourth victory of the season, with only five races left in the regular season of the ongoing season.
