The 2007 All-Star Race was meant to showcase the best NASCAR drivers in the sport. Instead, it ended up being one of the most controversial incidents between two brothers. There was an infamous incident that took place between Kurt Busch and his younger brother Kyle Busch. Following the incident, both brothers were left with a bad taste in their mouths and the damages to both of their cars surfaced as high as $1 million in value.

However, recently, after nearly a decade and a half, both of them sat down to defend their infamous wreck.

What did Kurt and Kyle Busch say about the 2007 All-Star Race incident?

In a recent video uploaded by Amazon Freevee on their Instagram, we hear Kyle Busch say, “my brother was trying to pass Jeff Burton at the time. But he kinda gets slowed up and I’m flying. I’m coming up behind him, and Kurt probably thinks I’m going to get in behind him and draft him and help him past Burton.”

Then his brother, Kurt Busch, explained his perspective and said, “The spotter says ‘car low.’ I’m like ‘who’s to the inside? I’m passing this guy.’ And I see it, it’s like the 5-car. The door of the 5 is underneath me and I’m like, bro.”

The clip then cuts back to Kyle saying, “there’s a car width there boy. So I jump to the inside of him.”

The clip then cuts back to Kurt, who mentioned, “bro. If you want the inside lane now, you’re gonna get the inside lane when we go into turn one. We’ll see how you handle it.”

The final clip showed the infamous wreck between brothers Kyle and Kurt Busch taking place. After Kyle moved down the inside, Kurt made sure not to give him room. Right after, Rowdy lost control of his car and spun out.

Following the incident, a major feud erupted between the two brothers. Fortunately, it only lasted a week. It was at that year’s Thanksgiving dinner when their grandmother decided to have the boys patch up and let go of their anger.

Around three years later, in 2010, the elder Busch told the press that they had calmed down by Thanksgiving and Christmas. He then mentioned that neither of them wanted to back out of that situation on track. But in the end, it only helped make their relationship stronger than ever before.
