As expected, Kyle Busch was raucously booed during driver introductions, where fans made it loud and clear how they felt about his late-race accident last week in Richmond that might have cost Dale Earnhardt Jr. a win.
But NASCAR's newest villain took it all in stride, enticing the crowd to keep it coming by raising his arms in the air and cupping his ear as he passed by the stands on the back of a pickup truck.
As the truck rounded Turn 1, Earnhardt's crew rushed to the pit road wall to jeer Busch on his way by, and the driver responded by turning and flipping his middle finger at them. Crew members up and down pit road marveled at Busch's bravado, while Earnhardt's No. 88 team simply smirked as he passed by.
Moments later, meanwhile, Busch's older brother, Kurt, made the way around the track for his introduction with hardly a peep from the crowd.
