Kyle Busch, the maverick who made the audacious switch from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing, is not just turning heads but rewriting the playbook. The once most booed driver is now a fan favorite! And NASCAR fandom is not shy to express their opinion:

“KFB: I don’t no any other driver that gave 5 different crew chiefs their first career cup series win. 2-time champ for a reason. Could be a CC one day,” one fan wrote. 

Another added, “Kyle should be a first-ballot HOF, no doubt. But we know how voting for that works, unfortunately.”

“Behind the wheel, Kyle Busch doesn’t get enough credit for knowing the feel of a car and being able to report what it’s doing, and what sort of changes he needs made. I think it’s part of what makes him a successful driver in any series. If he were to have to retire from driving this weekend, he’d make a hell of a crew chief.” the third one chimed in. 

One Busch fan wrote, “I believe this is why KFB had so much difficulty during 2020, with the lack of practice sessions.”

“There are other drivers that can take a poorly set-up/handling car and get a better finish than the car deserves, but give KFB enough time to practice and communicate with his team to dial in his car, and he’s one of the absolute best out there.” someone commented. 

Another fan wrote, “Kyle Busch is next level in terms of racing IQ.”

“When KFB spun in qualifying before starting his timed lap at bristol so he drove around the track backwards to get up to speed again,” someone added.
