“I Was Totally Against the Whole Idea From the Very Start, I Did Not Want to Do It” – Kyle Busch Makes Shocking Admission About His Documentary

Which sports star wouldn’t love the idea of making a movie or documentary on their lives? Well, NASCAR fans certainly know of one. The two-time Cup Series champion was once against the idea of making the documentary ‘Rowdy.’ Yes! It was indeed Kyle Busch who did not want to go along with the idea initially. 

The documentary is all about Kyle Busch’s highs and lows. It showcases an exhilarating ride of his success and setbacks, as well as his personality and character. One may or may not be a Rowdy fan, but the thrill of peeping into the life of a race car driver sounds pretty exciting in itself. Apart from Busch, the documentary also features NASCAR legends, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon.

What made Kyle Busch say yes to Rowdy?

Rowdy was recently in a very interesting and candid interview on ‘The Residency Podcast’ on YouTube. While in conversation, the hosts made sure that they cover his life, starting from growing up in Vegas to a lot of his NASCAR journey. Rowdy seemed quite comfortable during the conversation and was rather in a good mood. The host asked him, “What was it like making a documentary about yourself?”

Richard Childress Racing star said that he was totally against the idea initially. He said, “I thought it was weird. I was totally against the whole idea from the very start, I did not want to do it”

But the reason why he agreed to it was because of the person who was going to make it. He said, “He was a Mars [Busch’s former sponsor] family member so he started his own Productions company and he wanted to make a documentary on me because he grew up watching me.”

He further added that the reason was a bit more heartwarming because at the time when he was driving the M&M’s car in 2008, the person was around 10 years old and he grew up watching Rowdy drive the #18 car.

What was the biggest roadblock Kyle Busch, and the team faced?

As per Rowdy, the plan was to create a lot of new footage for the documentary. They even planned to do live on-the-go footage covering his day as a race car driver, live action on the racetrack, and his life. But a lot of their plans, like the footage they wanted by following him for a whole year, had some serious hurdles due to covid.

Their schedule to shoot was around the same time when covid hit the world and brought it to a halt.

Even though things got back to working post covid, it was never the same while following all the health safety protocols which interrupted their original plans of creating footage from behind the scenes and the whole year for the documentary. Rowdy said they filled in the documentary with a lot of footage from the library as seven digits of money were already spent in the process of creating it.
