Busch blamed Hornaday for the initial incident between the two drivers, which reignited a simmering rivalry between Busch and Kevin Harvick Inc.
Hornaday and Busch made contact when the two came up on the slower truck of Johnny Chapman, going three-wide and eventually sending Busch into the wall.
While under caution Busch retaliated, driving Hornaday into the wall.
Hornaday’s truck couldn’t continue, while NASCAR parked a heavily damaged Busch for the remainder of the Winstar World Casino 350K. NASCAR officials met with Busch for about three minutes after the race and NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said they would meet with him again in the morning. No additional penalties were announced Friday night.
Hornaday called for Busch to be parked, just as Harvick was in 2002 after an incident in a truck race.
“He pulled my shoulder out [in the wreck],” Hornaday said. “Luckily I had a chiropractor put it back in and I’ll be good. If NASCAR doesn’t do it, I’m going to buy Tommy Baldwin’s [Cup] ride and that guy will never finish another race.
