Richard Childress: Stenhouse will ‘Carry a Rough Ass Beating’ if He Wrecks Busch at Charlotte
Richard Childress, who left North Wilkesboro in disgust after a subpar outing in the NASCAR All-Star Race for his team, wishes he would have stuck around to be part of the post-race fight between Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
But Childress has seen video of the incident, and noticed that Stenhouse threatened to crash Busch at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. Childress issued a threat on Tuesday to Stenhouse if Stenhouse goes through with it.
“I don’t fight as fair as I used to. I’m a little older,” Childress said in the video captured by Chris Weaver. “But Ricky Stenhouse said that he was going to wreck the No. 8 car at Charlotte. When I see him, I’m going to tell him if he does, I’m older, but I’ve just changed my style of fighting. He’ll carry a rough ass beating.”
