“Whether Brad’s tie rod broke before or after he deliberately spun (Kenseth), it’s hard to understand that,” Busch said Saturday on NBC Sports. “That’s for Brad to know.”

After the race, Keselowski told reporters part of his right-front suspension broke when he inadvertently hit the back of Kenseth’s car.
“The car wouldn’t turn and just kept going straight until I couldn’t do anything and I started wrecking everybody,” Keselowski said. “I just didn’t have any steering wheel left.”
Soon after, Kenseth wrecked Logano, earning a two-race suspension.
Busch is seventh among eight drivers remaining in the Chase for the Sprint Cup — ahead of Logano and one spot behind Keselowski. Sunday’s race at Texas has a scheduled for 2:16 p.m. ET green flag. TV coverage: NBC.
