“Was That Kyle Busch?” – Grumpy IndyCar Driver Alexander Rossi Earns Comparisons to NASCAR Star

In the NASCAR Cup Series scene, Kyle Busch is infamous for his terse interviews. Whenever he is annoyed, most of his answers come very short and almost snappy. In a recent IndyCar race, Andretti Autosport driver Alexander Rossi channeled his inner Kyle Busch. A large portion of the interview consisted of single-sentence replies.

Talking about track conditions and the car setup, he curtly said, “Oh we had the downforce”. When he spoke about his run on the track, he only had one word, ‘horrible’.

The longest sentence he said was, “It’s a lottery around here, man. The early draws will have plenty of time to go again before the rain. It’s a luck of the draw, this place.”

Of course, Kyle Busch is famous for giving extremely short answers. However, this only works if he is a little moody and irritable. Otherwise, he can deliver normal interviews for the media.

Most of the time, he restricts himself to either one-word answers or short sentences, frustrating the media to no end. However, those interviews do give rise to a lot of social media content for the fans to enjoy and laugh at.

Earlier this weekend, the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing driver endured a miserable race at Road America. On the whole, it was a wretched weekend for Toyota in general, with their highest-finishing car in 13th place. That honor went to Busch’s teammate, Martin Truex Jr, while Kyle Busch himself was all the way down in 29th.

Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell were in 17th and 18th places, respectively.

Already, Busch’s day started off on a horrid note when his was forced to change his engine. That sent him to the back of the grid. Without the penalty, he could have qualified higher and could have scored excellent points for Joe Gibbs Racing. Instead, he had to walk away, wondering what could have been.
