Why do people hate kyle busch

Kyle Busch gave fans even another cause to despise him in 2015, when he became NASCAR's first champion under the new playoff structure who did not compete in every race that year. His 2016 statements about NASCAR rigging races didn't help him win the popular vote either.

Kyle Busch has won more than any other driver in the history of the sport, but it seems like everyone else hates him too. The number of people who want to see him fail in the sport is as high as ever before, which is why he remains at the top of this list.

Busch, without a doubt, has a resentment against Rick Hendrick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. since he was practically jettisoned to make place for the series' most popular driver. That feeling is certainly mutual between Hendrick and Busch.

During the 2004 season, Kurt Busch was running up front with leaders before getting into a wreck that ended his championship hopes. He claimed at the time that he was racing against Dale Earnhardt Jr., but many believed that he was really fighting against the number 48 because it was Hendrick's car. This incident certainly didn't help matters between Kurt Busch and Rick Hendrick.

Kurt Busch also got into several battles with Jeff Gordon during their time together in the Cup Series. They were always good friends outside of the garage so there was no reason for this conflict but they did not get along at all during the 2004 season.

In addition to these drivers, Kurt Busch also has a grudge against John Andretti because of some comments his father made about Kurt being worthless after he was released by Joe Gibbs Racing. These comments certainly didn't do anything to help their relationship.

Finally, Kurt Busch has a grudge against Greg Biffle because he feels like Biffle cheated him out of winning the 2001 Championship.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Kyle Busch won his opening race of the 2020 season, extending his season winning run to 16 races. The reigning champion driver has been on top all year long, winning eight times this season for Joe Gibbs Racing. He also has three poles and two fastest laps.

Busch started from the pole for the AAA 400 at the Daytona International Speedway, leading 303 of 400 miles before he pitted for tires and fuel. He returned to the track with five laps to go and held off a hard-charging Martin Truex Jr. by.002 seconds for his third victory this year and 16th overall. "It's definitely a good feeling," said Busch, who won the season opener in Atlanta last month. "We had a fast car all day."

Truex, who finished second, was looking for his first victory of 2020. "I just wish we could have gotten one more lap out of it," he said. "But that's racing."

This is Busch's fourth season with JGR and second with teammate Denny Hamlin. They've combined for 27 wins over that span. "It's amazing how consistent they are," NASCAR Chairman Brian France said in a statement.

Busch appears to have a grudge against the Hendrick team since joining with Gibbs. It was at this time that his attitude changed and he became the guy he is now. What irritates people the most is that he simply treats them as though they are beneath him.

He has had several run-ins with other drivers, especially Jeff Gordon who he seems to have some kind of issue with. He has also had problems with staff members on different occasions. There was even one incident where he threw a water bottle at Tony Stewart during a race in Montreal.

It's rumored that he was offered a deal by Hendrick but turned it down. This seems strange because if he wanted to drive for someone else he could have easily done so last year when he had an option with Joe Gibbs Racing. The only reason he would have turned down the offer is if he felt like he needed to be on his own which seems unlikely given how well he did last season.

In conclusion, Kurt Busch signed with Gibbs Racing because he feels like he can make it big with them. They are a successful team so there's no reason why he should feel like he isn't capable of being successful there.

Kyle Busch, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion in 2015 and 2005 Rookie of the Year, has won 55 races in the series. He has won on 23 different tracks in his career. His most wins at one track is 10 - Charlotte Motor Speedway.

He is one of only three drivers (along with Jimmie Johnson and Martin Truex Jr.) to win the championship as a rookie. He is also one of only nine drivers to win the first two races of a season (along with Fred Lorenzen, Donnie Jones, Dave Marcis, Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon, Juan Pablo Montoya and Ryan Newman).

Busch's teammate and friend Kevin Harvick has won the other two championships. They have been teammates since 2006 when their respective teams bought their way into NASCAR's top division; prior to that they were both part of the Xfinity Series.

They are considered by many to be two of the best stock car drivers in history and their aggressive styles have made them popular among fans. They have also earned millions together through sponsorship deals and entertainment events.

It’s not easy for an athlete to roll up more victories than anyone else and still be widely regarded by fans of the sport as a loser, but Kyle Busch has managed to do it in NASCAR.

Busch is a talented driver who deserves respect for what he’s done on NASCAR’s top race circuit, but critics lash out at him for padding his win total at the expense of competitors in lesser series. So, his disqualification this weekend after winning an Xfinity Series race had his detractors giddy.

Deduct one from Kyle Busch’s win column

Kyle Busch took the checkered flag Saturday, July 18, in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, but the celebration was short-lived; Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing No. 54 Toyota failed the post-race inspection by being out of compliance with the height requirements, sending him to last place in the official results. Austin Cindric was elevated to first place for his third victory of the season.

The last Xfinity Series race winner to be disqualified was another JGR driver. Denny Hamlin’s Toyota also failed to meet the height requirement last August at Darlington Raceway.

It would be an exaggeration to say Twitter lit up with reactions to Busch’s disqualification, but there certainly were race fans who saw it as poetic justice.

Just as Busch’s Xfinity win was short-lived, so was the critics’ glee over the disqualification. Busch came back later in the day to win the truck series race.

Kyle Busch is the winningest driver in NASCAR history, though the achievement has an asterisk attached to it because he regularly competes in NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series races – sometimes in the same weekend.

There’s a term for drivers who are regulars in the top race series but also compete in the Xfinity Series, but “Buschwhacker” wasn’t coined in reference to Kyle Busch. Rather, it came into usage when Anheuser-Busch was sponsoring the series. After Nationwide, the insurance company, took ownership of the rights, some started calling it “claim jumping.” Those who run in the truck series are sometimes said to be “tail-gating.”

NASCAR has tightened the rules in recent years to reduce the number of lower-division races that stars like Busch can enter, but Busch remains a consistent winner. He owns 56 wins in the NASCAR Cup Series (Including 27 from 2015-19), 96 in the Xfinity Series, and 59 in the truck series for 212 in all.  

That puts Busch 12 trips to victory lane ahead of Richard Petty, who had been the all-time leader. Petty is one of the most beloved figures in the sport, so the man breaking his record was going to be in for some of the same treatment Hank Aaron received as he pursued Babe Ruth’s home run mark.

Doing it by racing in three series served to make Busch an easier target.

Critics go after Kyle Busch each time he wins an Xfinity Series race or triumphs in the NASCAR truck series because they see his competing there as taking away opportunities from two sets of drivers – the veterans who rely upon sponsorships and race purses to continue their careers and the younger drivers who are trying to work their way up to the NASCAR Cup Series.

In that regard, every lap Busch leads on TV, every photo published of his car taking the checkered flag, and every interview he does in victory lane takes valuable exposure away from other drivers.

Even some of the other NASCAR Cup drivers understand the long-term implications associated with Busch owning a team in the truck series, where he has won 29 of his last 51 times out, and for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Xfinity Series.

In February, driver Kevin Harvick established a “bounty” by offering $50,000 to any full-time driver beating Busch in one of the next four truck races. Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis said he was so confident in Busch that he would throw in an additional $50,000 to the bounty pot.

Busch is 3-for-5 in the truck series this season.
