“He Wasn’t All That Thrilled” – Kyle Busch’s Pride Shines Through as Tony Stewart Loses to His Biggest Competitor

With the fourth race of the SRX Series drawing to a conclusion at the Berlin Raceway, it is time Kyle Busch bids farewell to the ongoing season of the series. The Richard Childress Racing driver, in his debut season, has exhibited a stellar performance in both the races that he was a part of. 

Furthermore, the achievement of the 2x Cup Series champion not only lies in the fact that he was able to notch two back-to-back victories in his debut appearance in the series, but also that he was able to fend off the other veteran drivers belonging to the other motor racing series. Busch’s sense of pride was palpable in the pre-race interview.

Kyle Busch proudly asserts that he was able to outlast veteran drivers in SRX

The Richard Childress Racing driver is surely having the season of his life in the 2023 Cup Series season. With 3 victories to his name, Busch is more confident than ever when it comes to showcasing his racing caliber on the tracks of NASCAR. Moreover, his competitive streak is not only restricted to the elite series of NASCAR but also to various other minor series, including the SRX Series.

With that being said, Kyle Busch was surely not settling for anything less apart from the top spot in his rookie season of the SRX Racing series. The driver had put his best foot forward and secured a victory at Pulaski after he outlasted his fellow Cup Series driver, Brad Keselowski, and also the pole-sitter and co-owner of the series, Tony Stewart.

Apart from the victory, the fact of running past beside the Hall of Famer Tony Stewart with 30 laps to go, surely filled Busch with a sense of achievement which he had shared during the pre-race interview at Berlin Raceway. Citing Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart, and other IndyCar drivers, he talked about how the opportunity to compete with respected drivers meant a lot to him. He also expressed his disappointment about not being able to race against drag racer Ron Capps. 

He said, “to have the different backgrounds of all these drivers and the camaraderie with everything else of where they come from and how they race and trying to beat them and doing a good job of being able to beat them.” Busch also praised Tony Stewart. “Tony is a great racer himself. He has won the IndyCar championship, Stock Car championship, and now is chasing an NHRA Championship. The guy is well-versed and knows what he is doing and it’s a lot of fun to reignite some of that to race with him”, he added.

Busch also took a moment to reflect on his victory against Stewart: “I am glad I was able to beat him the first time out, I am sure he wasn’t all that thrilled about it, but he does enjoy his SRX and everything else with the series and he is putting on a good show.”

The No.8 Chevrolet Cup Series driver put on a good show in his fourth and final race of the season at Berlin Raceway. Kyle Busch had out-dueled his fellow Cup Series driver Brad Keselowski and the Indy 500 champion Helio Castroneves to earn two consecutive victories in the season. In a post-race interview, he talked about how spending time with his son is very important to him.

In response to a question about an expanded SRX schedule next year in a post-race interview with Frontstretch, the driver had expressed, “Yeah, it kind of just all depends on what’s going on, I try to race as much as I can with Brexton and this kind of just fit in with the Midwest schedule that we have in travel this week going to Michigan right after this to tomorrow, so it’s all about making a fit.”

After bidding adieu to the series as a part-time driver on a high note, Kyle Busch also asserted that he would love to return to the series for the next season.

However, the question is whether Kyle Busch will be able to maintain his streak in the upcoming Cup Series race on Sunday in Michigan.
