WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Jimmie Johnson says he wasn't about to take any lip from Kurt Busch. The two drivers confronted each other after last week's NASCAR Cup race at Pocono. They had slammed into each other on the final lap. Johnson is a five-time Cup champion, and he and Busch have had dustups in the past. Johnson said at a news conference at Watkins Glen International on Friday that he was angered by Busch's remarks as Johnson walked away following their argument in the pits. Johnson says he thought things were settled and then "the guy gets real tough" and starts "running his mouth." On Sunday, Johnson accused Busch of trying to run him down. Busch contends Johnson made the first move. Busch finished third and Johnson fourth.

Thanks for the call Jimmy. That's the way I saw it.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Good call Jimmy. Jimmie Johnson started the incident on the track and also started it on pit road...after all who went to who's car? What's he complaining about? I guess St. Jimmie doesn't want anybody to be near him on or off the track, but he can run all over anyone he pleases. I've had my fill of Jimmie and Chad and stopped buying my supplies at Lowe's (or as we call it Blowes).

Ditto, Johnson started it with the contact out of turn one and Busch delivered his dislike of the move. That should have been the end of it.
