After a disappointing end to the regular season, Kyle Busch is set to make waves off the track but about it. As we all know, Rowdy loves to speak his mind. A talk show could be the perfect fit for him in the aftermath of an unsurmountable loss he’s facing. At least that is what his latest tweet suggests.
The #8 driver had not missed a single Playoffs for 11 years in a row. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make it to the the 12th. But behold the upcoming show, because Busch might share abundantly about all the track drama behind the scenes.

As per his tweet, Kyle Busch will be the co-host on NASCAR’s Inside the Playoffs show which will stream on truTV and Max. The show will be aired at 7 p.m. every Thursday, and as confirmed by Busch, he will be on it today. The show has been launched to give the NASCAR recap of the previous weekend’s activities before heading into the next race weekend.
Gonna be fun being a co-host for a couple Inside the Playoff shows! Make sure to tune in on Thursday night! https://t.co/x9C0qnHMxF

The show is powered by TNT Sports and will also feature reporters such as Jordan Bianchi from The Athletic and Shannon Spake from FOX. Other notable broadcasters include Mamba Smith, better known as NASCAR’s “Chief Hype Officer”, and retired crew chief Steve Letarte.
Bianchi reported that Busch will be a part of only the first two episodes. This is a great opportunity for Busch as the media partner truTV has great reach. It has a whopping 3.38 million subscribers that bring almost 19 million views each month. This roughly translates to 5 million views per week. That could translate to a lot of money for NASCAR, and well Busch.
And in the times when NASCAR is considering expanding its viewership, who better to talk about it than The Man himself? He is definitely one of the best drivers to give insights about the field.

Another user eager to watch the show wrote, “Already set it to record in case I miss it.”
Some fans were also afraid they’d miss their favorite driver’s appearance on the show, as they wrote, “I’ve never set an alarm to remind myself to tune into TruTV but here we are.” The NASCAR world enjoys listening to Busch and can’t get enough of him. “Will do, can’t wait! Your interviews have been really great.”, wrote another joyous user.
