Feuds in stock car racing arise from intense rivalries and competition. Often, they lead to heated confrontations, which can sometimes escalate to dangerous levels. Showcasing the passion and commitment of drivers and teams, these feuds contribute to the sport’s dramatic appeal.

Recently, a new feud emerged between Kyle Busch and Corey LaJoie. The two initially had a couple of on-track incidents last weekend. However, tensions mounted when LaJoie’s crew chief ordered him to wreck Busch, a radio call that was heard by all.

Consequently, ahead of the race at the iconic Talladega Superspeedway, Busch retaliated with a strong expletive comment aimed at LaJoie. Although, fans were not too happy to hear what he had to say and they lashed out at Busch soon after.

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.

However, after a tweet regarding Busch’s statement arrived, several fans lashed out at the two-time Cup Series champion for being a “crybaby.”

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.

Regardless of what people say about the two, we are yet to say what takes place between the two as we get ready for the upcoming superspeedway race. While it would be good if both of them can de-escalate, it would still be interesting to see what they do out on track at Talladega and beyond.
