In the final hour of the first of three days of testing there were two multiple accidents, including one that brought out some finger-pointing between Kyle Busch, driver of the #51 Ballew Motorsports Toyota, and Clanton, driver of the #09 Zaxby’s Ford. “It’s a veteran out there taking advantage of a rookie. It’s the same old thing we hear all the time. It’s Friday, the first day of practice and you don’t bump draft, especially a rookie that’s never done it before,” said Clanton. “(Busch) got into Colin and got him upset through the tri-oval and that ain’t the place to do it. He shoved him up the race track and we got together.” Busch tried to make light of the situation by putting a neon “X’ on the right-rear quarter-panel of his #51 Toyota that read, “Stay Off, Clanton,” which a NASCAR official made the team remove at the end of the day.(
