Recently, Kyle Busch and Rowdy Energy announced a special event for the fans. Over here, the Joe Gibbs Racing star will sign an item for the first 100 responders to the event. The location for this is at a Walmart in Smyrna, Tennessee where Rowdy Energy will be giving a demo. However, one fan was a bit miffed that the offer is only for 100 people on a first come first serve basis. According to him, it was a ‘big jerk’ move, especially since someone like Richard Petty would sign everyone’s merchandise.

Of course, this was Kyle Busch he was talking to, so he should have expected a clap back for the insult, and boy did he deliver. Busch snarked, “Cool. I’ll just stay and sign autographs for 5000+ people and miss practice at 5pm. U should b my publicist so u can tell my team that my job isn’t as important as signing autographs is.

The next race on the calendar is at the Nashville Superspeedway, which is hosting its second-ever Cup race. This is because it made its Cup debut last year, with Kyle Larson winning. So, the defending champion will undoubtedly be a favorite to win once again. However, if the 2022 season has told us anything, it is to expect the unexpected. Kyle Busch will be aiming for his second win of the season, as will many other drivers.
