“To Save Our Season & Hopefully JGR Career” – NASCAR Fans Demand a Repeat of Kyle Busch’s Movie-Esque 2021 Pocono Heroics

This weekend, NASCAR heads to the Pocono Raceway. Without a doubt, Kyle Busch will be looking forward to the race. This is because he won at the Triangle last year and hoping for a repeat. Recently, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver merged scenes from the popular NASCAR movie, Days of Thunder, with his own win at Pocono. Suffice to say, both were blended very very seamlessly, and the fans enjoyed it.

According to many fans, Busch is possibly the best driver to follow on social media. Without a doubt, love him or hate him, he has a heck of a personality and no one can ignore him. Some fans even joked about getting a set of ‘matched tyres’ or ‘pushing the pace car’. It is a bit of an inside joke because Busch once gave a few bumps to the pace car. One thing is for sure, the #18 driver is very entertaining on the track and off it as well.

What else did fans say about Kyle Busch?

The Days of Thunder scene was one where protagonist Cole Trickle was pitting during a caution. Despite some issues, he was able to scramble out just ahead of the pace car and avoid getting lapped.

Busch’s case was slightly different, as he was stuck in fourth gear. However, the similarity was that both Trickle and Busch had to be pushed out of the pit lane.

Kyle Busch was definitely ‘flying like an eagle’ on that day and will be hoping to replicate that this year as well. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has actually won the M&M’s Fan Appreciation 400 on three occasions. To be precise, he reached Victory Lane in 2017, 2018 and in 2021.
