While Kyle Busch worked hard in the closing laps of the Penzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to capture his first win of the season, it ultimately wasn’t meant to be. In fact, a late caution would erase Busch’s lead over second-place and force Rowdy down pit road along with most of the leaders. Unfortunately for Busch, he made the mistake of taking four tires during the caution, moving him back to fourth place in the running order.

Hendrick Motor Sports driver Alex Bowman, however, managed to restart on the front row and got a good push to the lead. He did have to battle in the final two laps with fellow Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Kyle Larson, but ended up capturing his first Checkered flag of the season. Busch wasn’t very happy about the series of events and ranted about the young driver over the radio.

"The same f------ guy that backs into every f------ win that he ever f------gets, backs into another f------win. F---! F----!" Busch was heard saying over the team radio.”

Despite this exchange on the radio,  Bowman reported later in the week that Busch had taken the time to call and apologize for his words.
