“There’s Also How You’re Raised” – Respect Advocate Kyle Busch Gives Kyle Larson His Approval for Wrecking Denny Hamlin

Last Saturday’s Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway marked the 100th win of Kyle Busch Motorsports, and that too, from the boss himself. With that, Rowdy earned his 229th victory across the three major NASCAR series and his 64th win in the Truck Series.

The experience of the 38-year-old behind the wheels spoke for itself as he set the trap by lying low, then used the air and passed KBM driver Corey Heim from the inside, on the last lap along the tunnel turn. His run for the win was a prime example of what hard, yet clean racing looks like.

Rowdy’s opinion on the Denny Hamlin and Larson incident

Today in NASCAR, the drivers have very little room to surpass one another. Thanks to the similarity between the cars in terms of features and stats. This is where a bit of hard racing comes in. During the pre-race conference at Richmond, a reporter asked what was more important for Busch, a clean win or a dirty win. Busch said it is always the first one for him.

According to Busch, it is one’s upbringing and morale that should allow them to draw the line between the two. He explained, “I try to keep our stuff as clean as we could; race it out and race it hard and clean for the finish.”

“Like I said, there’s certain people that you’re going to do that with, but there’s also how you’re raised and your mentality of what you feel like is right and you live by that moral.” he added.

A recent incident might occur to every NASCAR fan after all that. You’ve guessed it right; the Larson-Hamlin tussle at the “Tricky Triangle”. The #8 RCR driver subtly gave Kyle Larson his approval to wreck Denny Hamlin at Richmond.

“I think (Kyle) Larson is down probably four on Denny (Hamlin), at least, right now so he’s got a lot to get even.” He said it and smiled.

KBM has given exposure to fresh faces like Chase Purdy and Matt Mills in the arena of Motorsports. Founded in 2010, KBM holds the Truck Series records for most career wins (99) and most wins in a single season (14 in 2014). With roughly a decade to go till the Chevy star retires, the burning question is: who will carry on the legacy of Kyle Busch?

With great power comes great responsibility. Kyle Busch, as the harbinger of Kyle Busch Motorsports, has a responsibility to entrust the company to deserving individuals. In this light, Busch plans to bring his son Brexton into the scene. The 8-year-old has already won an impressive number of races, earning his first-ever victory at Mountain Creek Speedway in 2020.

Kyle proudly said that his son has the best chance of holding the reins of Kyle Busch Motorsports. In an interview from last year, he told the reporters that, as per NASCAR rules, Brexton would be eligible to run truck races on road courses and on tracks that are 1.5 miles or shorter when he turns 15.

“I’ve got like 6, 7 maybe 8 more years. If I play all this out perfectly, Brexton and I, we share a truck when he turns 16 years old… and when he’s 18, I’m done, I’m out” he announced.

Although that is not all that Kyle Busch wants to do with KBM, he has a lot to give back to the sport. But in the end, this is what he has planned.
