<\/p>\n

After winning Saturday’s NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series race at Martinsville Speedway, Todd Gilliland had some unkind words for team owners Kyle Busch.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou guys are awesome!\u201d Gilliland exclaimed on the radio. \u201cKyle Busch you can stay in your fucking motor home!\u201d<\/p>\n

Busch had been critical of both Gilliland and teammate Harrison Burton for failing to win despite driving what has been considered the best equipment in the Truck Series garage.<\/p>\n

After a victory lane celebration, which Busch did attend, Gilliland began to apologize to Busch Saturday night tweeting<\/p>\n

“Like I\u2019ve said before we should have won by now and it just hasn\u2019t happened. I want to apologize to <\/span>@<\/span><\/a>KyleBusch<\/span><\/a> for what I said after the race. My emotions got the best of me obviously and a lot went through my head as I took the checkered. Two more wins to chase<\/span> 🏁”<\/p>\n
