Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. spoke separately Monday during a break in testing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway about their incident Saturday at Richmond.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
“I took him out at Kansas last year during the chase. That’s really why I wouldn’t be any more angry about it because I would just be hypocritical in that sense. We both kind of been on each side of it now between the two of us, hopefully, once me and him have a chance to talk about it, we can come to some kind of understanding that we don’t ever have to deal with it again and we just go out there and race and try to race each other with a little more respect and have a better outcome.
“The only thing I’m upset with is just not being able to get the points out of it that I should have been able to get. We’ve been working hard to stay consistent all year. I want to get as good a finish I can each week. I’ve been real proud of that. I’ve had a lot of pride in what we’ve been able to do this year and the way we’ve been consistent. That is just a little bit of a bruise on the stats for what we’ve had this year. It won’t show at the end of the year how good we really were that particular weekend and I want to minimize that throughout the season.

DO YOU NEED TO EVEN TALK TO DALE JR?
“I hope we can talk about it and put it behind us. I’ve reached out to Junior. I called him earlier this morning and got his voicemail. We’ll either see each other in the garage or he’ll get back to me later.
WHAT WOULD YOU EVEN NEED TO SAY TO HIM?
“Basically just talk it over little bit, see what his feelings are and what his outlook on the whole deal is. I don’t know what he said… that could be different than what he tells me when he talks to me. He’s grown up knowing one of the best in the sport, so I’m sure he’s got a lot of knowledge that he can still relay to me. I’d like to listen. ‘’
