Kyle Busch has proven himself as one of the best NASCAR drivers over the course of his long and triumphant racing career. With his first Cup Series win of the year in Fontana last Sunday, the two-time Cup Series champ put on a display of his eliteness by achieving several records, leaving even his ‘frenemy’ Dale Earnhardt Jr. wanting to hear from Busch. However, his Kyle Busch request was recently rejected by Freddie Kraft, the right-hand man of Bubba Wallace.
Freddie Kraft is the former spotter of 23XI driver Bubba Wallace. Recently, the NASCAR spotter and DBC podcast co-host Kraft put out a glimmer of hope shown by Dale Earnhardt Jr. while curiously answering a question on Twitter.

In a recent tweet, Freddie Kraft wrote, “BREAKING NEWS: We got a great guest lined up for DBC Monday! Brett’s gotta work so I needed to call in some reinforcements. This guy is not afraid to ruffle some feathers! Guess who?”
The revelation about a mysteriously bold guest filling in for the co-host Brett Griffin made Dale Earnhardt Jr. remember his longtime rival Kyle Busch. In response to Kraft’s question, Dale Jr. wrote, “@KyleBusch, please”. However, Freddie Kraft put cold water on the two-time Busch Series champ’s hopes with a hilarious response.
Kraft wrote, “I feel like @SpotterBrett will wanna be there for the first KB appearance.” The DBC co-host denied Dale Earnhardt Jr’s request by suggesting that Brett Griffin would never miss a sit-down with Kyle Busch. In addition, he clarified that the unafraid guest would not be Kyle Busch.

Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were a part of the racing rivalry that lasted over a decade. Both the NASCAR legends fired shots back and forth at each other over the years. However, their rivalry got really heated up when Dale Jr. once ended up threatening Busch after the Richard Childress Racing driver gave him the bird during a practice session in Phoenix.
Dale Jr. also gave an insight into the whole incident when his frustrations about his car led him to go against his nature. The two-time Daytona 500 winner gave Busch an ultimatum in front of his then-crew chief. Dale Jr. revealed, “I know his crew chief very well and I said, ‘Kyle, if you ever flip me off again, I am going to rip your head off. I am going to kill you and beat the hell out of you.’”
