So close, yet so far. That was the story of Kyle Busch’s 2024 NASCAR Cup Series campaign. The Richard Childress Racing driver was desperate to keep alive his streak of winning a race every year for 19 years. However, close calls and bad luck ruined his streak. Early in the season at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Busch led 28 laps and was involved in a three-wide finish with Daniel Suarez and Ryan Blaney. He ended up claiming third place. However, Kyle Busch shifted focus to his son, Brexton Busch’s racing career in October last year and it paid dividends.

Despite being known as the ‘Rowdy’, Busch doesn’t take himself too seriously. The two-time Cup Series champion took to X to post about a time in 2024 when things weren’t so gloomy and fans were full of praise for Busch’s ability to find humor in pain.

Kyle Busch’s post exhibits positivity

For every driver, there comes a time in their career that things seem to go for a toss. That was Kyle Busch in 2024. With no win in sight, he decided to race at Millbridge Speedway with Brexton and turned his year around. His winless drought came to an end by securing a win at the Micro Sprint championship in the 600cc Winged class at the 1/6-mile oval at Millbridge Speedway in Salisbury, North Carolina.

Along with Rowdy, his little 9-year-old boy also contributed to a great drive. Taking a slight dig at how he didn’t fair well during his NASCAR run, Kyle Busch posted on X, “I did win something in 2024, the Wing Micro championship at Millbridge. And it made me feel great!!🤣🤣 Jokes aside I had fun racing with Brex on Wednesday, and can’t wait to do more of that this summer. Thanks for @Lucas_Oil, @d1driven, Lineman, Guhl, and everyone else!”. 

Rowdy will be next taking part in the Chili Bowl Nationals, and he seems in good spirits. Even his wife, Samantha was seen ecstatic about the 2024 victory and applauded the boys on their success. Her Instagram post read, “Congrats to my boys on their. @millbridgespeedway championships!! Watching you two BTS talking racing, watching film, practicing and tho you would think it’s one-sided giving each other advice. It’s special to watch your bond and talents. Lennix and I love being there to cheer you both on 🏁🏆❤️”. Busch started 2025 on a bright note, winning two heat races at the Tulsa Shootout in the winged outlaw and non-winged outlaw class. Meanwhile, his son took home his first Golden Driller in the junior sprints!

Accepting one’s flaws and that too with a smile is something that most drivers lack. Kyle Busch’s post has highlighted how he is a powerhouse of sportsman spirit and it has made fans positive about the Richard Childress driver yet again. 

Fans cannot help but shower Busch with appreciation
