\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKyle Busch clashed with John Hunter Nemechek on the penultimate lap of the NASCAR Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n
RFK Racing driver Ryan Preece took aim at Joe Gibbs Racing\u2019s Ty Gibbs during the 267-lap race.<\/p>\n
Preece vented his frustration over 23-year-old Gibbs\u2019 driving in an expletive-laden radio message.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a f***ing idiot this kid is,\u201d said Preece.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is so lucky his car is so f***ing fast.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, when I get to that #54 I\u2019m done with him. F***ing idiot.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat car is so f***ing fast. F***ing pisses me off. Stupid.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t stand when idiots like him have fast race cars where they can do stupid shit and get away with it.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnd of rant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Big trouble for Ty Gibbs! https:\/\/t.co\/UwuzcizHbH<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/q9QfjhUoJy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 FOX: NASCAR (@NASCARONFOX) May 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Preece, it seemed, was true to his word. Later in the race on Lap 102, Preece appeared to get into the back of Gibbs entering Turn 3 and spun the #54 Toyota Camry.<\/p>\n Trackhouse Racing\u2019s Shane van Gisbergen had a good view of the incident.<\/p>\n \u201cHoly shit! He just committed a murder,\u201d the Kiwi laughed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt looks like he just full-throttled him.\u201d<\/p>\n Preece went on to finish 14th while Gibbs was a non-finisher, classified 36th.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll be honest with you, I hate that he wrecked, but decisions you make on the race track, there are repercussions, and I try to race everybody with an amount of respect that I like in return,\u201d Preece told Frontstretch post-race.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you don\u2019t do that, I\u2019m not going to cut you a break. That\u2019s what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then he just wrecks him.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what happened between John Hunter Nemechek and Kyle Busch coming to the white flag at Texas. pic.twitter.com\/yoiFoZYtl7<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 FOX: NASCAR (@NASCARONFOX) May 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n That was the first of two noteworthy incidents. The other was on the penultimate lap when Richard Childress Racing\u2019s Kyle Busch clashed with John Hunter Nemechek of Legacy Motor Club.<\/p>\n Busch and Nemechek made contact on the back stretch, which tipped the #8 Chevrolet Camaro sideways and into the parallel wall.<\/p>\n Seemingly upset, Busch appeared to drive up the road and into the path of the #43 Toyota Camry as Nemechek tried to go around at the subsequent turn.<\/p>\n Nemechek crashed out of the race and with it lost a finish on the cusp of the top 10.<\/p>\n Busch, who was also on course to finish just outside of the top 10, wound up 20th.<\/p>\n \u201cNot freaking clear,\u201d Nemechek wrote on social media in response to the clash.<\/p>\n \u201cGreat day going. and just got wrecked. What an ass.\u201d<\/p>\n Busch fired back at Nemechek for not giving him enough racing room.<\/p>\n \u201cI did not start this,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cThe 42 apparently doesn\u2019t know where the [right side] of his car is and where he is in relation to the outside wall.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was two feet outside him and I was judging my left side tyres to the hash marks.<\/p>\n \u201cAlways know who you\u2019re racing beside.\u201d<\/p>\n Get the latest NASCAR news, stats, and US racing coverage at Speedcafe US<\/a><\/p>\n
