While Kyle Busch was very upset with Ryan Newman after the running of the New Hampshire Motor Speedway race - Newman laughed off those comments.
On Sunday, after the race, Busch called Newman “the biggest stupid idiot out here, and he's a big ogre and can do whatever he wants because he can probably kick anybody's butt. So no sense in getting in a fight with him, but glad he's out of a job."
Late on Monday Newman called into the SiriusXM NASCAR studio to respond.
In response to a question by Dave Moody Newman laughed and said “what do you want me to say?”
But Moody and co-host Angie Skinner wanted to know how Newman really felt. "I'm just afraid if I re-arranged his face I might fix it," Newman said chuckling.
"He's frustrated finishing third or wherever he was after hitting me first and then getting a little rub down the straightaway. Just imagine how I feel. It is what it is.
"We know that he's not very bright. He's a heck of a talent but he's not very bright. And I'll leave it at that."
Then Newman went on to explain “I thought Kurt (Busch's) and Matt and my incident was strictly a racing incident. I admit to dooring Kyle down the straightaway after he blasted me into corner I didn't crash him he didn't crash me. I don't know what he's mad about it.”
Then he addressed Busch's statement that he was happy that Newman lost his job at Stewart Haas Racing when the season ends.
“It seemed like me having not having a ride,” Newman added, seems like he has way more to lose than I do. He might want to check his track before he gets ahead of himself. Laughs I just said he has to watch his back. If he's going to run his mouth he'd better be able back up running his mouth.”
Then with another laugh he concluded “I've just given you guys fuel for your show I really don't care about his opinions.” And he laughed again.
