To which Busch responded, “Who’s to say he hasn’t punched me again?”

“In any of these conversations, whenever you go into negotiations, it’s never fun. So you’re duking the whole time. So yeah, no. I think you grow up and you work through things and you talk it over, really. It was fine the first time I sat down with him, everything was okay and biggest thing about it was just having the opportunity to kind of put that behind us.”

#18 driver also added, “No different thing than going on the Dale Jr download and talking about 2008 and crashing at Richmond. So just, you get through it and you talk about it and life moves on.”
