“I Kick Myself Everyday” – Kyle Busch Reveals His Biggest Regret, Bringing Up MLB All-Star’s $330 Million Jackpot

Keeping in mind the fact that NASCAR is a very physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding sport for drivers who are no different than athletes from other forms of sports, could another athlete succeed in NASCAR? Kyle Busch recently had his say.

Busch has proven time and time again that he’s not just one of the best drivers of his generation, but in the history of the sport. He was recently asked his opinion on which celebrity or an athlete he thinks could do well in stock car racing.

And his answer might surprise a lot of people.

Kyle Busch has an interesting take on other athletes doing well in NASCAR

Before the Las Vegas Cup race, Busch made an appearance on the Residency Podcast. During one point in the conversation, the two-time NASCAR Cup champion was asked to name a celebrity or an athlete who could be quick in a Next Gen racecar.

“I don’t know. You see a lot of these football guys, baseball guys…anyway, I don’t know if they can make it, I don’t know if they can cut it,” Busch said.

He then went on to reveal how he himself wanted to be a football player. But then his father gave him an ultimatum which has now left him wishing he had made a different decision for one main reason.

Speaking about his childhood aspirations, Busch prefaced his recollection by claiming he “definitely would never make it” in the NFL. “I wanted to be a football player when I was a kid growing up and my dad was like, ‘Hell no. You’re not playing football,’” he said.

After the door closed on football, he switched his interest to another form of a ball game.

“So I was playing baseball, and finally my dad was like, ‘You have to decide. Are you going to play baseball or you’re going to race cars? Because you’re killing your grandma. You can’t keep going to both of these things all during the week. Pick one,'” he revealed.

Busch admitted hilariously that he regrets choosing racing as the path in his life when he looks at someone like Bryce Harper and the money they earn in the MLB.

“I chose racing which I kick myself everyday because I hear about the Bryce Harpers of the world and the contracts they get,” he said. “What an idiot!”
