Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart all good

| | Comments (0) |

Kurt Busch was on Tony Stewart's Sirius Radio Show on Tuesday night. Busch said the two talked about what happened at Daytona, when the two tangled and essentially took each other out of the race. Both had fast cars; Busch led a race-high 95 laps in the Daytona 500, but finished 41st when he and Stewart crashed on lap 154.
"Each day you have to put things behind you and look forward to the next week because that's how this sport is," Busch said. "It was the Daytona 500 and it was tough to swallow. Talking to Tony helped and looking at the tape and talking with Roger Penske about everything, we definitely had a lot to be proud of after the week was over."
Busch and Stewart probably had the same view of how to race the Daytona 500. It was that aggressive attitude that ended up costing both of them a chance to win the race.
"It was one of those Daytona 500 deals where you're there to win the race and you're either first or last," Busch said. "I think that's the way we both looked at it. I really enjoy the atmosphere at Daytona and excitement and the prestige of racing at Daytona is another thing. You keep trying to build it up and do what you can to win the thing."
