It's no surprise the arrogance of NASCAR's Juan Pablo Montoya and the cockiness of Kyle Busch would soon cross paths on the track, and it did in Sunday's Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. When the caution flag was displayed in the closing laps of the rain-shortened race, Montoya's No.42 Dodge hit Busch's No.18 Toyota from behind and put Busch in a spin.
