Now if Busch was actually moving and got got hard to cause him flipping over, I'd be concerned, but they were not moving faster than a bycicle when Busch got flipped.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nascar/2014/07/07/nascar-teams-form-business-alliance/12288547/

NASCAR's nine most powerful teams have formed the Race Team Alliance, a business association intended to increase revenues and budget efficiency for Sprint Cup organizations.

The RTA is comprised of Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, Michael Waltrip Racing, Richard Childress Racing, Richard Petty Motorsports, Roush Fenway Racing, Stewart-Haas Racing and Team Penske. It intends to open its membership to all teams in NASCAR's premier series.

A release said the organization "creates for the first time a single entity to engage with stakeholders on creative ways to market and experience the power of the sport's teams and drivers. As part of its focus, the RTA also plans to explore innovative ways to harness the combined purchasing power and scale of the teams' operations to drive efficiencies in costs."

kind of like a union. Sounds like some of the race teams aren't happy with some of the decisions NASCAR has made lately

 

[Jimbo]

There has been talk of a Drivers Union, but nothing has ever come of it.

 

[Jimbo]

Racing at Atlanta shortly ...
Lots of teams need a Win to get in, should be fun !

Well Kyle Busch did his best to ruin everyones day.... he doesn't care, he's in already ...

Early he wrecked Tony Stewarts chances by getting into him, resulting in him later cutting a tire and going into the wall .... Smoke was looking good till then.

Then late, he purposely decided to run into #78 (can't remember who this is at the moment) causing Kasey Kahne to have to deal with a G-W-C instead of winning it in regulation, I was glad when Kahne pulled away on the restart.

Congrats to Kasey, Now ALL the Hendricks guys are IN the Chase !

Fwiw, it was Martian Truex that Kyle decided he didn't agree with ...

Truax said afterward, he had No idea why Kyle did what he did.
