Following Sunday's Lenox 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, JPM fully admitted that he intentionally spun Sprint Cup point leader Kyle Busch late in the event under caution after the two had bumped on track. Before we go any further, watch below at 0:46:
As you can see, the discontent among the two began when Busch drove JPM up the hill in turn one. The two continued to make contact down the backstretch and when the caution came out for the crash between Clint Bowyer and Sam Hornish Jr., Busch banged into Montoya's drivers side.
That was enough to break Montoya's last straw.
He then turned his No. 42 into the right-rear of Busch's No. 18 Toyota. As Busch slammed on the brakes to avoid the wall, his car fishtailed back to the left, catching Montoya's rear wheel and spinning the No. 42.
The incident left Busch with a 25th-place finish and Montoya in 32nd.
Following the race, TNT caught up with both drivers, with Montoya offering the best comments after the wreck:
"It gets to a point where it's too much," said Montoya. "I thought we had a decent car today and I don't appreciate when people wreck me like that."In other words, JPM might be the first NASCAR driver in a decade to actually admit to wrecking someone.
TNT's Marty Snyder then asked if he had intentionally spun Busch, to which Montoya replied "Well, yeah. The same way he did to me."
Kyle Busch wasn't too happy about it:
"I don't know what his beef is, but NASCAR should probably fix it," said Busch.Pot calling the kettle black, anyone?

Kyle Busch is scum and needs to be given a Colombian necktie by some of JPM's fans. JPM is a good man, and deserves better than to have to put up with this little bastard, who cheats every time he gets a chance - and no one, so far (except JPM) has had the balls to do anything. NASCAR proves again that France is a ball-less punk, who needs to be put in a grave next to Busch. I'll gladly hold the rope. And I'll throw in his butt-buddy Hamlin for free.

KYLE BUSH does not cheat he only blowes everybody away on the track and he smokes to the dust FAKE IMPROVISED DRIVERS LIKE THE MONTANA oops the MONTOYA
BURRITO BENDER.2years in nascar and the chico only has i win for wrecking his teammate mac murry at infineon last year and 1 lucky top5 few weeks ago
(charlotte if i remember correctly).
In F1 he is rejected and disliked by everybody and made his way thru by intimidating and wrecking all other F1 Drivers but the looser never and ever crossed the SCHUMACKER HOT HEADS BROTHERS.
It's easy for a BULLY TO PICK ON A KID which can teach the CHICO HOW TO DRIVE.
WHY HE NEVER ATTEMPS TO PICK ON TONY STEWART AH?????
HEY MIKE,wasn't what's his face a ROMAN EMPEROR?
What is he doing on this pages? Has he come back to
a second life on earth? I tought that only happens in paradise; so the gospel teaches.
Needed here is your history experteeze. Thank you.

KYLE BUSH is a TOP GUN ACE when it comes to the driving and he can show and teach the wortheless
colombian bully how to drive and win.
MONTOYAwas never worth much on the track in formula 1. He made his way andgot few wins by bulling and wrecking other drivers. The truth on what he is worth as a driver has been showing in his nascar adventure where he is 0-- driver low of the lows tier.Somebody ougther teach the real scumbag a lesson and ship him back to the drugs capital of the world where he belongs.
WHERE ARE THE KYLE BUSH FANS ON THIS ONE?

Hey Anna. I did not get to see the race and I have been somewhat in shock at this one. The starting lineup looked like they drew names out of a hat as did the results. Clearly an example of the best car not winning the race, or even being in the top 5 because I cannot possibly fathom that the top 5 finishers were the best five drivers yesterday.
I am relatively certain Marcus is a wannabe imposter. While you are more qualified than I to speak on this one, I did not see any wisdom, thought, or philosophy in his post. All that and the fact that he is a homophobe gives it away. Not to mention the fact that he died almost 2000 years ago.
Since this week we will celebrate the Fourth of July I would like to suggest everyone look up the Declaration of Independence and actually READ IT. Try to understand that the author and the men that signed it were all men of wealth and power that risked being put to death and having that wealth confiscated by the Crown for their treasonous act. Imagine how the government would respond today to a similar act of rebellion.

Hey Anna - You sound really stupid here - You are so ignorant - you are talking about a race car driver calling him names but you can't even get driver's names straight - it's not MAC MURRAY - IT'S MCMURRAY - you are a dumb IGNORANT B***CH

I guess I have a different opinion about what took place between Kyle Busch & Montoya yesterday. Personally, I thought it was FUNNY! Juan's comments were priceless. Did you wreck him on purpose, "Well, Yeah!" How great is that? A driver taking responsiblity for his actions. Busch has been knocking guys around all season and no one has paid him back yet so to speak. Montoya had the (you know whats) to do it. It was great!
Geoffrey, one comment Busch made after the race puzzled me more than the above statement. He said something that I construed as negative about the number 2 winning the race. Is this kid the biggest Jerk ever? He can't even be happy for his brother's win?
And Mike, it was a great race up and until this final caution came out. Your boy Jeff ran in the top four all day. He had a car that could have won as did Jimmie. The top five cars did not pit right before the caution came out. They were nowhere near the front of the pack during the entire race. Casey Mears was the only finisher that had actually run in 2 and 3 place all day, but I think he still finished 5th or 6th. Then the rains came and the race was called. Once again leaving us NASCAR fans with a boring end to a race, and with a winner who didn't "drive" his way to the finish. How dissapointing. :-(

Anna,
It was Marcus Aurilius (sp?) that was a Roman Emperor. He is portrayed in the movie "Gladiator" with Russell Crowe. Actually, Marcus nor his son (the emperor that replaced him when he passed) were rumored to be "gay" to my knowledge. That being said however, most the men in Rome were, so who knows? When all would be Roman fighters became "of age" (around the early teen years), they were sent off to a training camp so to speak for several years to learn how to fight. There were only men at these camps and due to the lack of female presence, the history books claim that these boys would have "affairs" with their superiors who trained them. Intersting, huh? Although Mike is the huge history buff, I too know quite a bit about history. :-)
And Amy,
You might be new on here so let me just tell you that Anna's first language is not English. She is Italian. And although sometimes hard to understand, I envy her ability to speak more than one language. Give her a little slack.

Now, if we could get ALL of the other drivers to do the same thing Montoya did, Nascar would be much better off. Kyle Bush needs to be taken down several pegs and have a little respect!!!!

Kim - I envy Anna for being able to speak two languages as well - However if you going to put someone down the way she did, use the words she did, and try to back it up with an example - just get the facts straight. That's all I was meaning.

Hey Kim, I did not mean to say that Marcus was gay. What I meant was that he would not have been a homophobe. It is widely believed homosexual behavior was much more accepted than you would find in our culture today.
Sorry, I did not see the movie but I know better than to try to give Anna a history lesson on ancient Rome.

Jeff and Jimmy had a pretty good day for most part. It appears Rick spent more time in THEIR garage last week. Some would like to have us believe this is the trick to running well at Hendrick's. If that's so, Rick needs to put all the teams in the same garage so they can ALL get the same attention and ALL run well. :-) JMO

Yes, Ron, it is obvious. Now that Jr won his race for the year, Rick can go back to sharing the love/time/money equally. Did you see how much better Casey did now that his team does not have to prop up Jr any more? And, now that Jr is not getting all the love/time/money he has finished outside the top ten two weeks in a row for the first time this year. I am telling you, man. It is all there if people would only open their eyes. LOL

Montoya wrecks someone every race. He hit another car earlier in the race. Montoya is a joke and bad for NASCAR. I make a point not to buy any product that's on his car.

that low-lifeMontoya should not be allowed to compete in any sport, especially an AMERICAN (as in USA) sport. The drug-dealer mentality needs to be gone, along with the low-life back to drugville, SA.
