“We Were Definitely Not for Politics” – Kyle Busch Reveals the Busch Family’s Biggest Flaw and Positives

In a recent episode of the “Cars and Culture” podcast, NASCAR legend Kyle Busch sat down with host Jason Stein to discuss authenticity and its challenges. During the candid conversation, Busch opened up about his family’s communication style, acknowledging its positive and negative aspects.

In the wake of the contentious Pocono Raceway incident involving Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch’s insights have ignited a broader debate about the transformation of racing in the current era. The traditional notions of clean racing and sportsmanship are being redefined as the sport witnesses a shift toward a more aggressive and competitive landscape.

The Busch family’s communication style: A double-edged sword

Known for his direct and honest approach, Busch highlighted the value of authenticity, even though it may sometimes lead to uncomfortable truths. The Richard Childress Racing driver admitted that speaking his mind and not sugar-coating his words could be both a strength and a weakness. Praising Busch to elicit a response, Stein mentioned, “Sometimes maybe people don’t want to hear what’s authentic, and sometimes they don’t want to have the direct approach. You’ve always been direct. You’ve always been honest. You’ve always been authentic.”

Busch promptly replied, “Yeah. I mean that’s that’s that’s a good with the bad, that’s a positive and a detriment all in the same way, you know, being authentic and truthful and saying things sometimes people don’t want to hear. It’s the ugly truth, right?

“Like it’s just, yeah process of it, but look the Busch family—my dad my brother included—we’ve never been the greatest of being able to deliver messages well. So figuring out a better way of being able to do that, we were definitely not for politics. That’s for sure.”

Despite this flaw, Kyle Busch remains unapologetic for his candid nature and the honesty he brings to the table. Throughout his career, he has earned respect and admiration for staying true to himself, even when faced with backlash or criticism.

Veteran driver Kyle Busch delved into the matter, shedding light on what he calls a “vicious cycle” transforming the sport. In an exclusive interview with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Busch candidly expressed his views on the incident, the changing face of Cup races, and the new generation of racers.

“Could Denny have done it differently and raced it out and raced it clean? Sure. There’s a way where you could run clean and you could race side by side but all you’re gonna do is draw in the rest of the competition behind you and everybody is so close that if you’re stuck side by side you’re gonna allow the third-place to jump into the picture,” Busch had stated earlier during an interview with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
