Kyle Bush and Jeff Burton

Do any of you recall the previous weekends post race festivities and Jeff Burton pointing the finger at Kyle Bush (repeatedly) in his post race meltdown? So what's then to be said of last week's mishap when Jeff Burton, on old tires, and with plenty of racing experience, seemed to forget about those old tires and try to race hard at the end only to lose his grip and take out Bush. Retaliation perhaps, but more than likely a very similar "mistake" and eerily, well no, exactly what Burton previously accused Bush of doing to him. I guess Jeff Burton really does "race people the way he gets raced" OR perhaps that was retaliation? You know, these are4 the best drivers in the world and they do know how to make real action look like a "mistake." If any of you like boxing, you may think of the way a weaker opponent will constantly "tie-up" his stronger fo and not let his stronger opponent through any long combinations. Well, it is often during those "tie-ups" when the weaker opponent will use his head to soften the upper eye and brow of his stronger opponent and thus opening the door for swollen eyes and blood. Anyone ever put any though to Evander Hollyfield's constant head-butting of Mike Tyson when he tied Tyson up before Tyson finally lost it and bit Hollyfeields ear off? I digress, but hopefully you got my point. If not, for those of you who know baseball well, think of what leads up to a hitter charging the mound? Is it simply being hit by a pitch? Was he hit by a pitch for something his team did previously? Maybe the pitcher's team was hit by a pitch and so the pitcher retaliated. But maybe before that, the batter was crowding the plate and the pitcher had no choice but to "brush him back."

The point here is this, when you are dealing with the very best of the best in sport, "mistakes" are often really not mistakes, especially when it comes to veteran drivers.

Also, as much as you would like to think so press people, drivers do not always tell you the truth.
