After #97-Kurt Buschs first accident Sunday in the Coca-Cola 600, I [Cup Scene Daily] rushed from the media center to the garage area to see Buschs car pulling into his stall. A frustrated Busch left the garage area and head to his hauler to collect his thoughts. In route, right outside the garage, it looked as though he shoved a local TV news cameraman, Mike Thomas, aside. The cameraman felt the incident was no big deal and that he (the cameraman) was simply in the way of a frustrated driver. “It looked like he lowered his shoulder before he hit me, but I don’t think he was trying to do anything on purpose,” Thomas said. “He certainly didn’t say anything to me to make me think I had done something wrong.” Asked about the incident later, NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said the incident was a non-issue as far as the sanctioning body goes. Its no big deal to (NASCAR), said Jim Hunter.(Cup Scene Daily)(5-31-2005)
