At North Wilkesboro, there was an All-Star race. I felt like he wrecked me on purpose on lap one and a half,\u201d Stenhouse said. \u201cNow I\u2019m stuck in the infield and I can\u2019t leave. I got mad and got over it. My wife talked me off the ledge a few times. By the time the race was over, I was like \u2018You know what, I\u2019m going to go talk to him or at least wait for him.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-my-plugin-prizepicks-ad-block\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prizepicks.onelink.me\/ivHR\/ON3\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE to go to PrizePicks and use code ON3 to receive a guaranteed $50 once you play $5 in lineups!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI felt like I gave him an ample amount of time to at least maybe apologize, even though we know Kyle and he\u2019s probably not going to. I felt like that was kind of the thing that just kind of pushed it over the edge. I was just waiting on like \u2018Hey man, I\u2019m sorry, shouldn\u2019t have done that., I definitely crossed the line\u2019 or something.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ricky Stenhouse Jr. shares more on fight with Kyle Busch<\/h2>\n<p>Stenhouse added\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s cool. My whole team was behind me. All of our partners were behind me. I got a lot of great fans at the racetrack from it, so not all is bad. But sitting there Lap 1 with a few of your sponsors that were also stuck in the infield, I felt bad for them as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stenhouse and Busch were battling during the race which led to a series of bumps that landed Stenhouse\u2019s No. 47 car in the outside retaining wall. Before heading back to his stall, Stenhouse sent a message to Busch\u2019s No. 8 team by parking in its stall and dismounting. <\/p>\n<p>After the race and altercation, Busch told his side of the story. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s the first lap of the race,\u201d he said at the time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nascar.com\/news-media\/2024\/05\/19\/ricky-stenhouse-jr-out-of-action-following-lap-2-wreck-in-all-star-race\/\">per NASCAR.com<\/a> \u201cWe don\u2019t even have water temp in the car yet, and we\u2019re wrecking off of (Turn) 2. \u2026 I\u2019m tired of getting run over \u2014 by everybody.
