There are a few things that immediately come to mind of most NASCAR fans whenever Kyle Busch’s name is mentioned: One of the most talented racecar drivers in American motorsports history; one of the most accomplished drivers in NASCAR history.

But there’s one other thing that is given with Busch and it is his eccentric sense of humor and his rather straightforward, often blunt responses.

And if you didn’t believe any of the three aforementioned points about the Richard Childress Racing driver, well, he put it all on display on Sunday at the Talladega Superspeedway.

Kyle Busch seemingly takes a subtle jibe at Kyle Larson after his Talladega win

After a brave gamble to not pit and with the help of a little luck, Busch emerged victorious from the second overtime and took the checkered flag at Talladega. This was his second win at the superspeedway and the 62nd of his career.

There go the first two points about talent and accomplishments.

Then there’s his sense of humor and his blunt responses. For that, look no further than the response he gave after the race which may or may not be a jibe at Kyle Larson of all people.

During the press conference after his win, a reporter mentioned to Busch the notion that the racing from the Next Gen car seemingly “preaches patience [rather] than the aggressive style.”

The reporter continued, “Do you think this suits you more with the more mature Kyle?”

“What number Kyle are we talking about,” came the response from Busch.

“We were sweating it being close. I thought back to California, Fontana, earlier this year where we have a win. I am like, ‘We got to gamble.’ You’re up here, got to take the track position when you have it, give it what you can on the restarts, see what happens,” he said as per Motorsport.
