While the #17 Ford once again proved his mettle, racking up his 2nd and back-to-back wins at Michigan International Speedway, the race wasn’t so bright for the 2-time Cup Series champion, Kyle Busch. Before even reaching the halfway mark, the Sunday race was postponed to the next day as rain halted the action. However, “Rowdy” Busch’s day ended on Sunday without even going further as he brought out the first caution of the race following a nasty slip.

With the Cup Series action going full swing at the 2-mile technical Speedway, the cars were everywhere, with caution flags flying every now and then. Apart from the Richard Childress Racing driver, Chase Elliott, Alex Bowman, and Josh Berry all felt the wall as the field’s frantic pace and conditions proved to be more than what the experts could handle.

The #8 Chevy was rushed to the garage, where it was deemed out of contention, essentially ending his day. While the day ended for Busch, the drama was about to unfold as Busch’s latest adversary, who ticked off his downfall, soon joined hands with the driver, brutally calling out Corey LaJoie – Busch’s “pain in the d**k” driver.

The day was dark and cloudy, just like the weather for Kyle Busch and his fans, as the tight, technical Speedway got the “bad boy” as the first victim. Just 14 laps into Stage 1, battling for the 11th position, Busch might have been eyeing a result similar to his Talladega run, risking it all to make it. But sadly for him, his war with Coca-Cola 600 winner Ryan Blaney was short-lived as the #8 Chevy got spun around into the wall in turn 1, bringing up the race’s first competition caution.

This essentially ended his day, as the team deemed the car out of contention, ending his day. While Busch got the worst end of that exchange, the drama was about to unfold as Ryan Blaney furiously called out Busch’s “Pain in the d**ck” driver, Corey LaJoie. The incident was brief but significant for the Team Penske driver. Looking to gain an advantageous position, Blaney charged on the outside, but the #7 put in a tough block, leading the #12 Ford into the junk, inches away from the outer wall.

However, Blaney did not approve of this, as he vividly expressed his displeasure, catching up with LaJoie and nudging him to let his emotions do the talking. Moreover, the in-car radio conversation gives us an idea of how furious he was during the incident. Though they are great friends, the on-track incident did not sit well, as Blaney exclaimed, “F**ing Corey LaJoie. What a dumb f**k that guy is every week.”

Fortunately for both drivers, the contact did not escalate into a spin or a crash like we generally see. But the #12 car had bumps and dents owing to contact with both Busch and later with LaJoie. According to Blaney, who confronted the Spire Motorsports driver, LaJoie was way too deep coming into the corner.

This eventually got Blaney into the junk, zooming past the wall. Soon after the race was over, the Penske driver had a lot to say. “The one with Corey and I yesterday, yeah we talked it out, and I was upset about it, you know, because I got put up in the junk. And I don’t think what a lot of people saw is, he drove in about five car lengths too deep to get there,” said Blaney after Monday’s race.

Whereas LaJoie simply took the fall for this one as well, as he said, “I was a little bit late to cover the outside lane,  he was able to roll back out there and I just had a little wobble like I did yesterday in practice and then you had somebody on your door tight and you’re just doing all you can do to chase it and he obviously was upset because we both went up into the weeds which wasn’t the intention but I was just asking him, man like what, do I take that slide job?”
