Why did Jimmie Johnson take out Kurt Busch?

May be...

The only person that will ever know for sure is Jimmie. To me it just look like they were both racing hard.

I don't blame Kurt for being mad at Jimmie. Kurt was way on the other side of the track. Kurt left Jimmie more than enough room on his right. (and don't tell me about Jimmie apologizing after the race, I saw that too) Did it look like Jimmie did it intentionally, or did Jimmie honestly have poor car control?

It's called a racing incident.

It wasn't intentional, it was just hard racing.

That's the thing about a road course. There is only one line and more than one person wants to run it. It looked like Kurt was trying to make a pass and squeezed Jimmie to the cub and when Jimmie came off of the curb he got loose enough to catch Kurt's rear quarter panel.

If there ever was a case of it's "just racing" then that was a fine example. When you haven't had a good run in a while and you finally have one and something like that happens I'm sure it gets under their skin.

I think they were just fighting for the same spot on the track. that's racin'. what are u gonna do? and I would have to agree with the TNT announcers when they said that Jimmie is one of the cleanest racers out there. there is no way Jimmie did that intentionally. Not only did he aplogize to kurt on the radio, he went up to Kurt after the race and aplogized. that shows true sportsmanship right there.

To me it looked like when Jimmie hit the curb it really upset his car. I don't think Jimmie ever really regained control of his car after bouncing off that curb. It's just one of those unfortunate racing deals.

"let he who is without sin cast the first stone"...it's racing. i like kurt quite a bit more than i do the #48 though i don't have issues with him either. i don't blame kurt a bit for being mad. however, don't you get mad when someone cuts you off in traffic? it's not always an intentional thing. besides, he still finished 20 positions ahead of my guy. mark got beat up all day but i doubt he'd point the finger. just a tough day on a tough race track. kurt is still solid in the points and will be a factor in the chase.

Doubtful that it was with the intent to wreck him. Two hard racers fighting for one spot on the track it was bound to happen.
Too bad for Kurt though. When he's mad....his inner-Busch still shines through :)luggage stores toronto
