Intimidator Spirit Lives In Kyle Busch, Not Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The worst thing Kyle Busch did Saturday night after tangling with Dale Earnhardt Jr. late in the Sprint Cup Series Dan Lowry 400 was apologize for what happened.
Certainly, had it been Dale Earnhardt Sr. behind the wheel of the No. 18 car Saturday, there wouldn't have been any sort of apologizing for what happened.
It's a sort of twisted irony that comes to the surface when examining just what took place Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway between Busch and Earnhardt Jr.
The spirit that earned Dale Earnhardt Sr. the moniker "The Intimidator" lives not in his namesake son, though that spirit does clearly burn deeply in the competitive drive of Busch.

The new Intimidator roller coaster is set to open at Carowinds this weekend.
A tribute to NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt was placed beside the coaster Monday.
The carved and painted stone is made of two pieces of black absolute granite, including the No. 3 and Earnhardt's signature.
The Intimidator roller coaster is 232 feet at its highest point and has a first drop of 211 feet. Riders will reach speeds up to 80 mph.
Carowinds opens on Saturday.
