"It just doesn't make much sense. I've never tried to wreck him; I've had plenty of chances to wreck the guy. That's not what it was about. It's about racing people with respect and he hasn't done that with anybody for a year."
Stewart said he was reluctant to back off of Busch's bumper.

<!--endclickprintexclude-->"You get to the point where you're tired of giving a guy the position," he said. "Most of the guys are good. There are only a couple bad apples out there and he's one of them.
"When you got guys that you let go every time they get you and they don't do the same thing. When the roles are reversed, you get tired of it [and] you finally race those guys they way they race you.
"You don't see me have problems with Mark Martin or the guys who run up front every week. It's Kurt Busch and a select other few that do that. His brother [Kyle] figured it out and his brother and I get along great.
"This is a sport that's so competitive you can't afford to give guys positions all the time if they're not going to give it back for you. I'm going to race guys the way they race me. I've adopted Matt Kenseth's policy of racing guys the way they race me. [Busch] never was clear, came off the corner and crashed both of us."
Stewart ended the race in 40th, while Busch was classified 42nd, after 38 cars were running at the finish. Despite the poor finishes, Stewart dropped only one position in the standings, from sixth to seventh, while Busch dropped from ninth to 11th.
"I don't have problems with 95 percent of the guys out there," Stewart said. "It's only a couple."
Thats the whole story I guess :shrug:

If I remember correctly, they suspended Harvick from a cup race a few years back for actions that took place in truck and busch races, and, to me, were less severe than what Skurt did. :shrug:
