Regardless of the narrative surrounding Kyle Busch and his image of being ‘the bad boy’ of NASCAR, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has proven on many-a-occasions, that he, in fact, isn’t what people think he is. That he has a heart of gold.
This was something that Busch once again proved through his heart-melting gesture for an elderly race fan. The #18 driver sent Gigi a personalized video message which reduced her to tears of happiness, as he invited her to a race.

2 B honest Kyle, I didn't like you at first 😆 but I have been your biggest fan since 09.. I've seen you do stuff like this in person. No matter what kind of day you've had on the track you always talk to kids and take time for anyone wearing your shirt. Fan for life man.

Kyle Busch is “who he is”, NASCAR veteran emphasizes
In a recent interview, Xfinity Series veteran, AJ Allmendinger, made a case for the Candy Man with regards to the criticism that has followed him throughout his career, which stems from his outspoken nature and saying exactly what’s on his mind regardless of the circumstances.
“We shouldn’t ever be shocked by Kyle Busch’s comments. This is what I love about Kyle. This is what people ask me, ‘What’s Kyle like?’ I was like, ‘I love Kyle Busch. Because he is real,’” he said.
