Kyle Busch is one of the most polarizing figures in NASCAR. Fans either love him or love to hate him. But one thing is certain—he commands attention. With two Cup Series championships and 63 career wins, Busch has built a legacy as one of the sport’s most talented and outspoken drivers. While some critics call him arrogant, his fans see a driver who refuses to sugarcoat anything. And Busch has never taken their support for granted.

“I remember most of all of my devoted fans,” he said just a few weeks ago. Whether it’s signing autographs, throwing his iconic “Rowdy” merchandise into the stands, or engaging with supporters online, Busch has always found ways to connect with his fanbase. Ahead of the third race of the season, Busch joined hands with Rebel Bourbon to release the Kyle Busch 108 Single Barrel Bourbon.

Notably, each barrel was hand-selected by Busch and bottled to create a unique experience. With a smooth finish and a hint of spice, the bourbon offers a flavor that matches Busch’s Rowdy personality. However, hours before the COTA race, Busch took the extra mile for some of his Ultra loyal fans with a special appearance in Texas.

Kyle Busch makes an extra effort for his fans!

As the NASCAR world prepares for the first-ever race at the revamped Circuit of the Americas, Kyle Busch has managed to spend some time with his fans. The two-time NASCAR Cup series winner has teamed up with. To promote this special release, Busch made an appearance at Spec’s, a massive liquor store in Texas. The store, known for its impressive selection, even has a full deli inside.

Notably, fans gathered to see Busch, grab an autograph, and get their hands on the exclusive bourbon. The Richard Childress Racing driver was seen sitting in a corner with the bottles of his latest collection. NASCAR insider Jeff Gluck shared some pictures of the event on social media. “@KyleBusch just wrapped up an appearance at this giant liquor store called Spec’s (apparently it’s a Texas thing and this one even had a full deli inside) to promote his new limited-release, 108-proof bourbon,” he wrote on X.

So, what makes this bourbon special? Rebel Bourbon, based in Bardstown, Kentucky, partnered with Busch to create a one-of-a-kind whiskey experience. Busch carefully selected the Kyle Busch 108 Single Barrel Bourbon, ensuring that every bottle meets his high standards. He aged each handcrafted barrel for four years and bottled it at 108 proof as a tribute to his No. 8 Chevrolet. The bottle comes with Busch’s autograph and RCR logo on it.

Notably, Busch wanted a bourbon that reflected his personality—bold, smooth, and full of character. The result is a whiskey with a velvety finish and a hint of spice, making it the perfect drink to enjoy while watching a race. “We wanted to do something we’ve never done before, in the spirit of living against the grain and doing things your way, and KB 108 is the perfect answer,” said Philip Lux, Rebel Bourbon’s brand manager.

The limited-edition bourbon is strictly for collectors and hardcore fans. With only 5,000 cases available nationwide, getting a bottle won’t be easy. The 750ml bottle retails for $40, making it an affordable yet rare keepsake for NASCAR and bourbon lovers alike. It’s worth noting that this week at COTA, Busch will be racing the No. 8 Rebel Bourbon Chevrolet. This means fans can watch him compete while enjoying a glass of his personally selected bourbon. However, ahead of the race, Busch has expressed his concern over the modification of the COTA track.

Busch is uncertain about the new COTA track!

COTA has always been one of the most challenging road courses in NASCAR. But this year, the track is undergoing a major change. NASCAR has decided to shorten the layout, removing a crucial section between Turn 7 and Turn 11. This adjustment reduces the track length from 3.41 miles to 2.40 miles and increases the total laps from 68 to 95. As Kyle Busch prepares for the COTA race, he’s not entirely thrilled about the changes to the track’s layout.

“I don’t know, I think you will lose a couple of passing zones. You lose Turn 11, all the way up at the top. You lose coming down into Turn 12 after the long straightaway,” Busch said ahead of the Saturday qualifying session. Busch believes the shorter course will create a racing style similar to Martinsville, where cars stay closer together, leading to more bumping and aggressive driving.

“It’s going to be more Martinsville-esque, with cars staying closer together and probably a little bit more pushing and shoving. I’m sure that’s what the fans will certainly enjoy,” he said. Notably, the old layout of COTA was one of the longest tracks in NASCAR. With the latest changes, NASCAR aims to ensure an equal playing field for all drivers. Notably, Shane van Gisbergen is the only driver who has raced on a shorter layout at COTA. The Trackhouse Racing drivers have participated in a V8 Supercars race.
