Kyle Busch has words with Christopher Bell after COTA race

[Christopher] Bell found a challenge of his own post-race from Richard Childress Racing driver Kyle Busch, who used to team with Bell under the Gibbs banner. Busch, who finished ninth, was animated in a verbal confrontation, seeming to hold up two fingers in Bell’s face to signify the number of on-track altercations between the pair.

“I mean, obviously he’s very upset, which he ended up turned around,” Bell told FOX Sports. “First off, I’m sorry to (Kyle) Larson in the 5 car. I got him earlier in the race and by no intention at all, I didn’t mean to do that. But KB is frustrated about what happened in Turn 1, and I don’t know. They were two-wide going in there. I haven’t obviously seen a replay yet, but I had no intentions of turning him, and I’m sure we’ll talk it out before the next race.”
