Hamlin and Busch, a New NASCAR Feud

Last weekend's NASCAR All Star race witnessed an interesting duel between teammates Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, who both got into a minor skirmish in the closing stages. More or less as a result of the conflict, Busch ended up hitting the wall and lost any chance of winning.

Busch accused at the time Hamlin of forcing him into the wall, and that seemed to be it for the conflict. Unhappy with the accusations however, Hamlin fought back yesterday, accusing Busch he doesn't have what it takes to become a Sprint champion.

"Kyle brings this stuff up on himself and gets mad at the media for asking questions about his blow-ups and stuff. He does it to himself," Hamlin said about his colleague, according to Autosport.

"I don't want to be part of it. Any drama that he wants to create or anything is on him. Anything he says on the radio is on him. All I'm going to be say is that each year I think Kyle is going to grow out of it and he just doesn't."

"Until he puts it all together, that's when he will become a champion. And right now, he just doesn't have himself all together."

The All Star race was won by Kyle Busch's brother, Kurt. Martin Truex Jr ended up finishing the race second, while Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, and Tony Stewart completed the top five.
