Kyle Busch Forced to Eat His Pride as He Makes a 5-Word Revelation on Why SVG Won His Debut Race

In the post-race press conference after Chicago, a successful Cup champion Kyle Busch, who is also known as the ‘Rowdy’, humbly acknowledged the impressive debut victory of Shane van Gisbergen (SVG) in a five-word revelation. SVG’s historic win marked the first time in over half a century that a driver triumphed in their debut Cup race. But before we look at Busch’s revelation, let us delves into the reasons behind SVG’s triumph and the respect Busch showed towards his talented competitor.

SVG’s victory had made headlines as it broke a long-standing record in NASCAR marking the first time in 61 years that a driver won a Cup race in their debut. The last time we saw this happen was when Johnny Rutherford won at Daytona in 1963. The significance of this accomplishment caught the attention of the racing community, prompting Busch to reflect on what set SVG apart from the competition.

Kyle Busch Comes Out to Admit Why Shane Van Gisbergen Was Better at Chicago

To understand SVG’s success, it is crucial to recognize his extensive experience in racing. Busch revealed that Gisbergen’s expertise in V-8 Supercars placed him several years ahead of his fellow competitors. SVG’s skills and knowledge in handling these vehicles translated seamlessly to NASCAR.

Busch was asked, “To watch what Shane was able to do in his debut as a rookie making his debut hasn’t won a Cup race in 60 years. Can you talk about that accomplishment and what you saw out of your windshield?”

To this, he answered, “Yeah, obviously being a rookie to NASCAR, yes, but not being whatsoever a rookie in road racing and his expertise that he has. That’s what he’s grown up doing. That’s what he’s done his whole life. Fortunate for him, he’s done it in bigger, heavier stock cars, not lighter weight GT cars or some IMSA cars or something like that. He’s probably, I don’t know, four, five, eight years ahead of us in this sort of car in the things that he’s done with the V8 Supercars.”

Busch acknowledged SVG’s prowess and speed on the track, citing his consistently impressive lap times during their time together at Daytona. SVG’s performance left no doubt in Busch’s mind that he would be a strong contender.
