Rumor has it that Richard Childress initiated an altercation between himself and Kyle Busch following the Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas. Busch raced RCR driver Joey Coulter hard at the end of the race, where Coulter pushed Busch up the track in the final corner. Busch did not take the well and rubbed up against the RCR truck on the cool down lap. According to the rumor, Childress took it into his own hands.
Here is a statement from Jayski.com:
"From the SPEED Center Facebook page, 'multiple witnesses tell SPEED there was a physical confrontation between Richard Childress and Kyle Busch after today's NASCAR Truck Series race..RCR driver Joey Coulter and Kyle battled for position..Kyle hit Coulter's truck on the cool-down lap..multiple sources say Childress took matters into his own hands'"
Also, NASCAR is going to look into the possible altercation according to NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp.
As of now, there are little facts and mostly rumors.
UPDATE: Marty Smith, ESPN NASCAR analyst, said on Sportscenter that Childress took off his wrist watch and put Busch in a headlock. From there, Childress supposedly just kept beating on him. Smith says that he has not found out Busch's response to the situation.
UPDATE 2: According to NASCAR president Mike Helton, NASCAR will keep Richard Childress at the track today to continue to lead the team. He will, however, have some restrictions according to Helton.
