As if we all needed another reason to dislike Kyle Busch.

(h/t to Bob, aka 4ever3)

"He’s got an issue because he gave me the finger, and you know what?" Gordon said. "That’s not necessary for a guy he just didn’t like racing him the way I did."

Gordon and Busch were teammates at Hendrick before Busch left for JGR this season.

"Kyle and I never had any issues," Gordon said. "But I raced him hard tonight just like I did everybody. And when track position is as important as it is here, you’ve got to race every single car for every single position.

"And I wasn’t going to give anybody an inch, and I was racing for position."

The brief article doesn't state what portion of the race Gordon hacked Kyle off by racing hard, but it wouldn't surprise me if it occurred while Jeff was trying to get his lap back during the middle part of the race.

At any rate, this incident marked the second time over the weekend that a member of JGR took exception with another driver racing them hard. Which makes me wonder when these JGR guys got such a sense of entitlement?
