Are there any NASCAR fans out there who are NOT Kyle Busch fans?

Question

What!!? Kyle Busch got busted for a drunken incident??

Answer 1

I like Kasey Kahne and hate everyone else.

Answer 2

Just to set the record straight Kyle got busted for reckless driving in Richmong VA in 2004

As far as Kyle, pulled for him while he was at HMS, but now that he drives for JGR and drives a Toyota, I can see no reason ever for me to root for him. I'm a Gordon fan and when they were team mates he wasn't my favorite but I did pull for him.

Kyle is having a great year, but how much has to due to the fact Toyotas have been dominate in all three series (truck, Nationwide & Cup).

Answer 3

I can't stand that Kyle Beaver. Couldn't stand him last year....like him even less this year.

I'm sticking with my favorites: 88 - 9 - 12

Answer 4

Me. Unless he grows up. His bowing to the crowd is classless. Act mature, wave and move on.

Answer 5

i'm not!

then again, i don't watch the races... :P

but intentionally wrecking people in nationwide, when you're a cup driver is uncalled for.  and also i don't care for his attitude (i'll watch the last 10 laps or so/post-race if there's nothing else on)

they go for the winner b/c it's easy... no thought or allegiance required.  for some odd reason, i don't watch the races, but i still keep up with all the nascar news.  so i'm not going to be one of those bandwagon kids..

i don't know why, but i'm a carl edwards fan myself..

Answer 6

Definitely me!! I consider myself his number 1 hater!!

He irritates me like no one else. He has beaty eyes. I don't trust him. I don't care if he is an excellent racer. I have hated him since that time he got busted for the drunken incident.

Answer 7

I am by no means a fan of his. He does have a lot of talent and that needs to be admired. Hate is such a strong word.....I do not hate anyone. I might not care for him but it's like Junior, a lot of people don't like him either. I like a lot of the drivers but Junior is the "Top Dawg" as far as I'm concerned. There are only a few drivers that I can say I don't care for and Shrub is one of them.

Answer 8

Do not like Kyle, never had I think he drives wrecklessly.

He is arrogant, and inserts his foot in his mouth all the time.

Answer 9

I think u got your question wrong it should say, Are there any Kyle Busch fans out there?

You are acting like kyle is not getting booed every time he goes out for driver introduction.

Answer 10

Kyle has talent, no doubt.  But, I am not a fan.  Nor am I a "hater".  I just don't like the guy.  I jump on no ones bandwagon.  I am a loyal Jr. fan.

BTW, Kurt Busch was busted for DUI a couple years ago in his hometown of Vegas the weekend of the Vegas race.

Go JR.>>>>

Answer 11

I am not a Kyle Busch fan.  Although I do think he ran a good race on Saturday night.

Answer 12

I am a Greg Biffle fan and I can proudly say that I HATE KYLE BUSCH he needs a major attitude adjustment and when he wrecks people you know it's on purpose because in one of his interviews he said that if you get in way I will take you out !!!!!!!

Answer 13

The "not" Kyle Busch fans are getting less and less.

Nope...no bandwagon fan here either.  I don't think for a minute that he is god or godlike.  I do think...well I know...that he is a talented driver...has a great team behind him...has great equipment...the things that Hendrick is probably wishing that they gave him last year and the previous years.  

Why is it that because someone is a fan of any driver but the one you like...they must be jumping on the bandwagon???

Answer 14

I have been a kyle busch fan since his first year in the busch series so I hear you. I care that everyone now is like well he is good when they think he is a wrecker. I mean c'mon like him or not just don't pick the people who are winning. I love kyle and I am glad he is winning but all these people are fake fans. They like who is winnning at the moment. I hear ya but he did not wreck every weekend or bring out cautions all the time so sorry :)

Answer 15

well i don't really like Kyle Busch  i really like Jimmie and Gordon they are my favorite but i hate earnhart all ways have and always will

Answer 16

Yeah I agree with you man. I really dont like Kyle either hate him no but dislike yeah. And I think your right some people only like the guy whom keeps winning or doing weill. I on the other hand stick to the same driver because even after all that happned I still like Denny.

Answer 17

Here is what I have to say if you don't like Kyle:

Answer 18

I'm not a fan, but I don't dislike him either.  I agree about people and the bandwagon.  I've always liked Bobby Labonte, not even close to being on a bandwagon, lol!

Answer 19

there a tons of fans in nascar that don't like Kyle Busch.

he's still getting Boos after he wins isn't he?

& i was always a Jimmie Johnson fan...& still am!

I will ALWAYS be a Jimmie fan no matter how bad of a season he has.

but...Kyle is starting to get more fans, but he's no where near being one of the most popular yet...he started out with so many haters it just seems like he has tons of fans now...but he doesn't..tons of people still hate him...it's just a little less now than it was before.

Answer 20

Go Jr!!

Answer 21

I am still a Jimmie fan. Have to be loyal, everyone has a bad year.

Answer 22

This season Kyle is just making his talent more obvious in an environment that he can succeed. I did some research on him and I am a fan of his for life. He is too great a guy and driver for me not to be and he will go a long way in the sport.  I am glad he got away from Hendrick and now has a chance to shine. Sorry you do not like talent.

FYI- That was KURT that got caught drunk driving. You would think if you were the #1 hater of something you would at least get your story straight.

Answer 23

Ok, I've been a Hendrick fan since around 1998. Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver, and Jimmie is one of my favorites, too. Since Kyle Busch was on Hendricks team the past few seasons, that made me watch him just because I liked his teammates, also.

So automatically I kept an eye on him just as I did the other 2.

What impressed me most about Kyle Busch, though, was in the 2007 Prelude to the Dream dirt track race at Eldora. It was his first time EVER in a dirt late model, and him and Jeff Gordon battled which each other for almost 20 laps, and Kyle crossed the line 2nd to Carl Edwards by only a car length. He looked like a pro in that race and after seeing how awesome he was able to handle a tough car like that in his first try was very impressive to me.

And you know what? He wasn't a slouch last season either. He finished up 5th in points and had the best average finish of anyone going into the chase until the Kansas incident. He has made the chase all but his first season in Cup, and he still had 2 wins that year...

Now that he is gone from Hendrick he is in an environment where he meshes well with his team, and they all want to see him succeed. At Hendrick, he wasn't the top dog, and wasn't even treated as equal to his teammates. They started kicking him out of the team meetings toward the end of the season, since they were getting rid of him. I thought it was funny that during that time he started pulling off great finishes, and I think that was the start of his efforts to show Rick what a mistake he made.

At Joe Gibbs in 2008, he has been very impressive, winning races, leading laps, getting top 5s...and is making NASCAR exciting with his insane talent.

All the attention he's getting for what he has been able to accomplish with Joe Gibbs Racing is cause people to really look deeper at this guy, and realize the talent he posesses, that some people have seen all along, he just wasn't in the right environment.

If you hate him, well that sucks for you, because he has to be making it hard on you to dig up stuff about him. Supposedly he's this wreckless, cocky, arrogant jerk who is rude to the fans.

Yet...this same person that you think you know much about has donated over $500,000 to charity the past 2 years. Or perhaps you've never heard of the foundation he has...or how one day he was being interviewed during a rain delay and took the mic in order to talk about his foundation and upcoming charity events he was having.

I can count on one hand the # of accidents he's caused this season in the Sprint Cup series. Maybe on one finger. Not as many as Dale Sr. caused back in the day, but look at how many people loved him.

So...you may call these fans "bandwagon fans", but after what everyone has witnessed this season, people are beginning to recognize that Kyle has talent like no driver we've seen in a long time (maybe 1993). I appreciate his talent, and I'm sure a lot of other people do, too.

All of these fans he has been picking up by winning will be his fans for a long long time I am sure, because his talent is being exposed to everyone, and as Wally Dallenbach put it,

"This guy is going to win the crowd over eventually, because you can't keep driving like this, and winning races and kicking butt, without fans starting to appreciate how much TALENT is standing right there."

Don't be jealous of him. Be appreciative. He is fun to watch, and a great person and driver. And hey, he gives you something to talk about.

Answer 24

Honestly, I think Kyle is an excellent driver but his attitude makes me dislike him very much. If he quits acting like a child in post race interviews, I will start liking him more but not right now.

Answer 25

Bandwagon jumpers exist with anything. Get used to it.  Just don't confuse it with cheering for another driver (or another sports team) when your guy or team is out of the running.  That's the sign of a true fan of sports - they want their champion to win, but still love the competition and, naturally, cheer for someone else.

Jeff Gordon fan.

Answer 26

There are many people who hate Kyle Busch these days, largely because they don't believe that he has grown up, and because he drives racecars (and racetrucks) with a foreign nameplate (essentially he is now the face of Toyota in NASCAR, having won 12 times already this year combined in NSCS (6), NNS (4), and NCTS (2) competition). Putting Dale Jr. into the wall at Richmond doesn't help either.

Also, it was KURT Busch (not Kyle) who was busted for drunk driving, which ended his time at Roush Racing two races early in 2005.

Answer 27

I don't like or dislike Kyle. I'm a Jeff Gordon fan and have been since 2001. I have to admit, I really enjoyed last year. At least I did before the Chase.

Answer 28

Bobby Labonte & Petty Enterprises fan reprsentin' here

Answer 29

Kasey Kahne is my driver, but i like other drivers as well...although I root for Kasey every week faithfully, I also like Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart, and Jeff Gordon!!

Never have and never will like Jimmie Johnson, so i dont cheer for anyone just cuz they are winning!! Last year, I wanted to throw my t.v out the window everytime Jimmie won, ughhh!!

Go Kasey Go!!

# 9 all the way baaaby!!

Answer 30

I liked Rusty Wallace most of my Nascar fan life and he retired and I became a Kurt Busch fan. I liked Kurt when he was at Roush but Im a full blown Kurt fan today. I like Kyle and I think he is good for the sport. I dont Hate anyone.

Answer 31

What's more sickening are guys like yourself that claim to be a true fan and are sitting here spewing nonsense like this.

(paste)Last year most NASCAR fans I knew hated Kyle Busch. He wrecked almost every weekend, he brought out cautions all the time

He was in the chase last year and completed more total laps then Jeff Gordon Dipsh1t.  In NASCAR for dummy terms that means he didn't wreck cars. Stop spewing nonsense. Why do you care who jumps on any bandwagon? Thats life.  Get over it.
