Kyle Busch is really a driver who you either love or hate. Regardless of which end of the spectrum you might be, we can all agree that he is not someone who will be considered the calmest. However, it seems there is a slight change in his personality which even Danica Patrick noticed.
But it seems like she’s calling him out at the same time.

The race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway might not be his best stint. Although, he was showing a lot of pace and promise, transmission problems made him stick around in the pit lane for far longer than he would have hoped, And when he got out finally and started picking up some pace, Austin Dillon and Justin Haley spun out right in front of him, forcing an evasive move.
However, what impressed the fans and commentators alike was the calmness he displayed.
“Everything else is fine except just getting straight,” Busch said over the team radio. “Packed from the back. Pretty good lick. We’ll have to check the diffuser. There’s nothing we can do about it.”
Kyle was surely the driver who would yell at the two in front for being careless. Yet, he was shockingly composed. Even the commentators noticed that.

“Sounded pretty calm,” Patrick said.

“For spinning out at a 170 miles an hour, right,” Bowyer replied.
But then Patrick singled out Busch, in a way of appreciating him, as well as calling out his previous behavior as she said, “And for Kyle Busch,”. Even Clint Bowyer couldn’t help but laugh.

Kyle’s attitude has surely changed. And Freddie Kraft thinks it’s because of the sponsorship fiasco.
Kraft said, “M&M has afforded Kyle the opportunity to do a lot of things, say a lot of things, kinda act however he wanted to act for a long time. And that’s gone now, and he’s feeling the effects of it.”
Do you think he really has changed? Let us know in the comments.
