So anything goes on the last lap? Then what are we complaining about?

Not what I said. Kyle backing out of the throttle and losing all momentum going into the last set of turns is not the same as a driver taking out another driver.

intellectual honesty isn't exactly required of NASCAR drivers, or fans.

Exactly, see equating what the two drivers did as a prime example.

If he's ok with that move, he shpuld be ok with whatever 'retaliation' he gets, but he obviously isn't

Busch's move was retaliation for Joey pinning him up there when Joey moved off his line so Kyle would have to check up or run over Brad.

Some people don't like Kyle, and I get it. I have been known to sling my share of boos his way when he is announced at TMS over the years. That doesn't change the fact that what Kyle did to Joey was racing and came about because of how Joey decided to race him there. When Joey's move didn't work and he knew he couldn't win a drag race with Kyle coming off four and down the stretch he took him out. There were three moves; Joey pin, Kyle rub and make room, and Joey taking out a car because his move didn't work. I laughed when it happened and was ecstatic to see Chase slip by and come in third while all of it was going on. That being said, I still can see it for what it was a step to far by a guy who has now done this multiple times when things don't go his way.
