Keselowski hasn ‘t talked to Busch after Watkins Glen:

#18- Kyle Busch hasn ‘t spoken to #22-Brad Keselowski since the last-lap incident that knocked Busch out of the lead last Sunday at Watkins Glen International. Kyle Busch hasn ‘t spoken to reporters either, declining to share his views of the collision after the race and after Friday’s qualifying session at Michigan International Speedway. Busch had plenty of reason to be disappointed. After taking the white flag in the lead on Sunday, his No. 18 Toyota slipped in oil in the first corner. Busch went wide, to the left of the rumble strips that define the course. Keselowski would like to see any issues he might have with Busch resolved before the Chase starts at Chicagoland on Sept. 16. ‘I spoke with his crew chief, Dave Rogers, and tried to get a hold of him, but every phone number that I had was bad or something,’ Keselowski said Friday at Michigan. ‘Like I said after the race, it was unfortunate, because dumping the leader on the last lap is not something that I want to be known for. It certainly wasn ‘t something that I wanted to see happen. I wasn ‘t something that I intended to happen, but it obviously happened, and I can ‘t make that go away and only hope he understands as a racer that he is that things like that happen, and it’s just sometimes part of the breaks.’(NASCAR Wire Serivce)(8-19-2012)
