Busch stated, “What the **** man. **** Dammit! His spotter, Tony Hirschman then said, “I don’t know what the confusion was there. That was the normal countdown.”
Busch then added, “I was gonna do the opposite of the majority of just **** get off the cycle. You were talking on the radio when Tony was supposed to call me from ten away and five away. So I never ****** saw the ****** pit.” Tony then stated, “Gonna be at the back of these guys, here.” To which Busch said, “No Sh*t Sherlock.”

Kyle Busch was once penalized for unsportsmanlike behavior in Texas
Back in 2010, Kyle Busch ended up on the wrong side of NASCAR, when he decided it would be great to give a double middle finger to the NASCAR official standing ahead of his car in the pits.

Busch was reportedly upset after having to serve a one-lap penalty for speeding in the pit lane. So while he sat in the pit, he aggressively gave the middle finger salute to the NASCAR official standing in front of his JGR car. He was slapped with a $25,000 fine for giving the double bird. Furthermore, after deciding that it was not enough they added two more laps to further penalize him for his behavior against the official.
