Smack: What's OK for Johnson isn't OK for others (cont'd)

2. What was the deal with Kyle Busch, fleeing Martinsville on foot after the Truck race Monday?

Mark Aumann: You know, when you've got the Monday lunch specials at Rania's, El Parral, Walsh's Chicken and More, and Pigs R Us, it's hard to want to stick around for something like a post-race interview. Actually, there are a lot of decent places to eat in Martinsville.

Raygan Swan: Well I realize he was upset about the commitment line violation, but he's done this before and gotten in trouble for it, and he just doesn't seem to care.

David Caraviello: Mark, you know all the good eating places in Martinsville, don't you? I thought for a minute it was a bad Speed reality TV show about drivers trying to get in shape. Was a bizarre scene.

Mark Aumann: Kyle Busch, afraid of commitment? Maybe this is something for Dr. Phil.

Raygan Swan: I might agree with you Mark, but he's been dating Samantha now for almost two seasons. And I like her, she graduated from Purdue. You should know by now I love anything Indiana.

In a hurry?

Kyle Busch was frustrated after his 17th-place finish at Martinsville so he decided to leave -- quickly.

• Caraviello: Kyle being Kyle

David Caraviello: Well, in Kyle's defense, he finished 17th, so it's not like he was duty-bound to appear in the press center. And I will say -- this kind of stuff goes on all the time in NASCAR. The garage after a night Cup race sometimes feels like the running of the bulls at Pamplona.

Raygan Swan: Well, the running across the track thing made me nervous. I didn't think he was going to be able to clear the wall. I thought he was going to trip, or something disastrous was going to happen.

Mark Aumann: I will attest to having almost been run over several times in the garage after races. It's a mad dash to the golf carts afterward.

Raygan Swan: Right, and it makes me feel like a paparazzo!

David Caraviello: They say in NASCAR, there are two races -- the one on the track, and the one to get out of the area and beat traffic. I've seen Cup guys sprinting to helicopter pads still in their firesuits. It's a Technicolor stampede.

Mark Aumann: But I can't imagine the traffic following a Monday Truck race was terribly bad. Of course, with all the rain, it may have been hard to find someone from AAA to pull your vehicle out of the mud.

Raygan Swan: Hey David, isn't that how Delana Harvick got ran over with a pit box once? After the race?

David Caraviello: Mark, and I imagine after an extra day there, Kyle was ready to scram. Raygan, I don't know the Harvick situation. But I'm amazed more people aren't trampled. It's a zoo after a race. We've all done those "run alongside" interviews, which are no fun.

Mark Aumann: Yeah, it's hard to train for those. I've gotten to the point where I automatically run after anybody who looks like they're in a hurry. Like a dog chasing cars.

Raygan Swan: Running after any man is not attractive for a girl, driver or no driver! I don't exactly blame Kyle for running, it was a bit entertaining. But if that was Dale Earnhardt Jr., out there, the fans would've mobbed him. But wait, it was Monday. Not many fans left, I imagine.

David Caraviello: Raygan, no question drivers are probably used to running in that situation, knowing that if they walk, they're going to get stuck signing autographs for an hour. But Kyle, my man, use the pedestrian tunnel next time. No need to narrowly evade the mobile stages being trucked to the frontstretch.

Mark Aumann: But what if Juan Montoya ... oh, wait. That was the last question.

David Caraviello: Ha! This reminds me of what Dale Jr. said during the Vegas race over the radio. He said something like, "This race is flying by. I could run another one. Anyone interested in a foot race?" Who knew he was onto something. Post-event driver foot races for five bonus points? Or better yet: Have drivers run toward their cars in LeMans style starts!

Raygan Swan: Seriously, I'd come out of the media center to watch that one!

Mark Aumann: And invert the field, based on stride length.

David Caraviello: That's enough, Humpy .... (Continued)
