Richard Childress: Stenhouse will ‘Carry a Rough Ass Beating’ if He Wrecks Busch at Charlotte

The talk of the town following Sunday’s NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway isn’t about Joey Logano, who led 199 of the 200 laps en route to the $1-million win. Instead, the fanbase is still buzzing about the fight that transpired after the race between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Busch.

After Stenhouse connected with a right hand to Busch’s face, NASCAR Security, the pit crews, and Stenhouse’s dad all got involved in the scuffle, and as the fight was winding down, Stenhouse was heard threatening to wreck Busch in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Well, if Stenhouse has any plans to execute that plan this weekend, he may want to think better of it. At a sponsorship announcement on Tuesday, Richard Childress, who owns Busch’s No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, says that he will tell Stenhouse that if he wrecks the No. 8 car this weekend, that he’ll personally lay the smackdown on Stenhouse himself.

Richard Childress had a message for Ricky Stenhouse Jr when we talked to him today prior to the Helping A Hero Patriot Award Dinner. He says if Ricky touches @KyleBusch‘s 8 car at Charlotte, he will whoop Ricky’s A$$ personally. He also wishes he had stayed to fight Sunday. pic.twitter.com/Q2GHKfVqWE

“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.”

While Childress is 78 years old compared to Stenhouse’s 36 years of age, Childress like Stenhouse beat up on Busch once long ago. And back when Childress got ahold of Busch, he got in more than one singular punch.

Childress has shown the ability to truly scrap if someone messes with one of his race cars. While it seems like a laughable matchup on paper, I don’t think Stenhouse wants to play with the fire that Childress has when it comes to a post-race brawl.
