Busch League
Mar 11, 2008
Kyle Busch is fast, fun to watch and dedicated to his sport. So why do so many fans hate him?
Racers like Kyle Busch were once adored.
The Las Vegas native is fun to watch, brutally honest and dedicated.
Just consider how the 22-year-old celebrated his historic victory in a Toyota Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Busch spent the past two days testing with his Super Late Model team at Hickory Motor Speedway, and is scheduled to be at Martinsville Speedway Wednesday for a Craftsman Truck Series test.
There were no quick trips to the Bahamas, elaborate photo shoots, or parties with celebrities.
Much like a modern-day Bobby Allison, Busch is consumed by speed and it shows by his success in all three of NASCAR’s major divisions.
Yet the boos kept coming.
It’s odd that Tony Stewart is praised as a fearless maverick when he rips NASCAR or Goodyear, yet Busch is labeled as a crybaby when he refers to some of the same issues.
What’s the difference here? Could it be delivery, appearance or experience.
Like him or not, Busch is here to stay and his future seems limitless.
Busch had no business tangling with the much-slower car driven by Dale Jarrett in Sunday’s race, but that late-race fracas was one of the few exciting moments of the day.
If nothing else, Jeff Gordon fans can be pleased. The NASCAR family now has another whipping boy,.
Watch for another Busch bash this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway.
