The NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono this Sunday witnessed a massive wreck at the final stages of the event. Richard Childress Racing Kyle Busch was once again the biggest victim and one of the root causes for the incident. The wreck collected over eight races and ruined the races for half of them as they were forced to retire.
Everything started with Kyle Busch blocking Corey LeJoie multiple time on the restart in the inside lane with just 40 laps left in the race. This frustrated the Spire Motorsports driver, and he hooked the No:8 Chevy from the left sending it spinning to the infield grass. He slide through the green for some time before coming back to the track.

The radio chatter shows two teams who had really good season last year but now finds themselves in desperate situation where they can’t match previous runs. It would be interesting to see how the beef between the two will playout in the future and everyone can be sure that Kyle Busch will not let the move on that easily.
