Slow news day fueled speculation, Biffle says

AVONDALE, Ariz. -- NASCAR officials have yet to speak with Greg Biffle's girlfriend about her confrontation with Kurt Busch's fiancee following a wreck between the two drivers.

But Biffle did.

Nicole Lunders has been embarrassed by the attention her spat with Eva Bryan received, and Biffle said Thursday that too much has been made about the words exchanged on pit road two weeks ago at Texas Motor Speedway.

"It certainly got way out of proportion because there wasn't any big news that week," Biffle said. "Nobody got out of the car and shoved somebody. It was kind of an uneventful weekend in sports, so it was a highlight.

"She didn't want it to be and we didn't want it to be. I think it's over."

Lunders was upset after Busch hit the back of Biffle's car, sending him into the wall and ending his race. The accident caused a hard impact for Biffle, and Lunders was angry because Busch had been involved in several recent wrecks.

So Lunders climbed off of Biffle's pit box, walked down pit road to find Bryan and had a brief exchange with her that was caught on national TV. NASCAR officials said they planned to speak with Lunders about it.

"She was just upset about it and really felt like Kurt was going to end up hurting somebody, and that's what she conveyed to Eva," Biffle said. "She wasn't mad at Eva one bit. They're friends and they talk and they do stuff.

"It was a matter of the safety for everyone was really the concern, and that was it."

It's not so clear how Biffle and Busch's relationship is right now, though.

The two are former teammates, but Biffle has been furious about the accident. The two drivers have yet to speak about it, even though Busch left Biffle a phone message to discuss it.

"Just letting it cool down a little bit," Biffle said. "Just letting it die."
