Kyle Busch might be one of the last people to appear on a list of NASCAR’s “good guys”. But that’s what separates him from other drivers. However, this time, his reputation was not in his favor, as fans compare Denny Hamlin’s latest post to an incident involving Busch.
Denny got to take the 10th anniversary, Toyota Lexis for a spin. But all the fans could think of was what happened to Kyle Busch in that car.
