Busch had referred to LaJoie as a “pain in the d*ick” to race against. Later on, he also mentioned how LaJoie had “admitted” that he wanted to wreck Busch. However, Rowdy was agitated that he was not penalized the same way Denny Hamlin was a month ago.

A few fans also mentioned how Busch would compare himself to Dale Earnhardt Sr. However, unlike the intimidator, he’d become intimidated and supposedly “cry like a baby.” Other fans took a shot at Busch and said how even after changing teams, Bush had still remained the same in terms of his behavior.
