Why is kyle busch so disliked?is it mostly Earnhardt jr. fans that dislike him/hendrick fans?f/drivin toyota?

Answer 1

Because he is arrogant.  He doesn't give the fans credit for placing him where he is.  He believes he has "talent".  Duh!  How talented do you have to be to drive a car to the left all day? His wins have been dumb luck, off the back of a teammate, or because his crew chief is smart.  He has wrecked other cars in his quest for wins.  He believes he is simply aggressive.  

Also, yes, Earnhardt fans (not Junior's) don't like him because he is trying (and failing) to be like Dale.

Answer 2

just like Jeff Gordon when he was winning twenty races a year against Dale Sr. When your winning and you don't have the huge fan base your hated

Answer 3

The answer is simple. Most fans are from the south and they love their 'kind'. (Dale Jr most popular driver) Kyle's from Las Vegas. Fans just hate on him because he challenges the drivers from the south. He's only arrogant because of how the crowd react to him - most times he's like that to wind them up - his bow for example. He'd have been less arrogant had he had the support he deserves from the beginning.

Answer 4

He is the very definition of "tool".  He looks like and acts like the kid everyone made fun of in high school.  I will say he is probably the most talented guy out there right now but I have found nothing yet to like about him.

Answer 5

Because for one he screwed up so bad spinning out Dale Jr back at Richmond even though it was just hard racing. Thats not how the fans see it which is a big reason why alot of people dont like him. Also every body is sick of seeing him win. It's time for a new man on top.

Answer 6

Because he has talent and the wussies that claim to be earnhardt jr fans were upset they had a wreck once or twice in the last 4 years.

Answer 7

Ya know every once in a while a driver comes along that has tallent, gets in good equiptment, is young and full of himself and blows away the feild for a while. Folks hate em or love em. I remember a certain young man being talked about the same way and treated the same way. He went on to get 4 championships and break several records. Today he is a respected driver, husband, father and teammate.

Kyle is just young and has an ego the size of Texas. Humility is not in his vocabulary and he may have a lot to learn but right now I would have to say he is having too much fun.

Congrats on the win last night Kyle fans... No offense but I hope by the end of tonight he will want to join the National Gaurd and drink Mountain Dew.

Answer 8

because of people like you

keep asking that same question over and over

you dont hear earnhardt fans ranting because they do like him

maybe you busch fans ought to start braggin instead of bitchin

Answer 9

Because he has been a little a*****e this year...Name one driver that isn't a team mate that likes him. DW don't count..

Answer 10

there are plenty of reasons for fans of other drivers to dislike him - heck there are plenty of reasons for his own fans to dislike him. he doesn't always make it easy to be a fan with some of the things he says sometimes. but bottom line, most people dislike him because of the green-eyed monster - he's taking the limelight from their favorite drivers.

many highly successful people are disliked for one reason or another. and in the history of nascar, kyle busch is not the first to be so disliked. darrell waltrip, dale sr., rusty wallace, jeff gordon, tony stewart and kurt busch have all been disliked, generally for their winning ways and the ways they went about winning.

what really seems to tick most people off though is that he's not "apologetic" about his dominance or unnecessarily humble. he does recognize that he wouldn't be where he is without the work of many other people and a lot of luck, but he also recognizes his own talent and is not ashamed to say so. it's not considered arrogance - at least not in my book - if you've got the talent, the drive, the ambition, and the ability to back it up.

i don't know if it is mainly junior fans that dislike him, but since there are more junior fans than fans of any other driver, they are probably in the majority of those who do dislike him purely based on the numbers... i don't think it's inherent or anything, especially as there are plenty of people who do manage to like both drivers, each for their own reasons.

as for others, many use the "toyota" defense and claim he's a "sell-out" of sorts for driving a "ferrin car" or that he's cheating or that toyota is dominant because they have more horsepower and nascar overlooks it (which may be true in the nationwide series, but not so much in cup). as there are so many rational arguments to counter such claims, i consider most of the people who claim those as their reasons for disliking him to be disingenuous "crackpots."

if they had been paying attention before this year, they probably would have disliked him then as well, back when he was driving chevys for both hms and for billy balew, or even as far back as when he drove ford trucks for jack roush. in essence, they are "bandwagon busch bashers" - they didn't start to truly dislike him until he really came into his own and started winning regularly this year.

as a long-time fan of my hometown boys the busch brothers, other people's dislike of rowdy is their problem and their business - not his, nor mine.

Answer 11

all of the above.

Answer 12

Cause he wins and kick S

i mean he has six wins out of 18 which means that he is the winner in every third race...

and yet today he won again...

so ya that's y...

i bet if he sucked this year nobody would even care...

ya and he also like to brag but i think it's ok...

Answer 13

ya hendrick lost a peice of s h i t the only resond kyle is wining is toyotas new and pours millions of dollars in to the sport so kyle gets 15 or 20 extra hp and if he manages not to spin someone els out or take himself out or be a total dumba s s and turn right into a line of cars (pocono) he wins no tallent

Answer 14

because hes an a*****e

Answer 15

I really get tired of new fans trying to make Dale into a saint. He was anything but! He'd be the first one to flip you the bird on your comments. On the track Kyle is very much like Dale. Read some of the stories about Dale. Richard Petty said "He's a great driver, but it's not my style of driving. I don't like to run over people." The Jr. nation is just mad because Kyle is doing everything this year that they thought Jr. was suppose to do. Sorry, Kyle didn't get that script. You don't have to be a Jr. hater to like Kyle. You just have to a fan that can enjoy seeing a driver give 110% on every lap even if you don't care for him personally. I'm sure Rick Hendricks is kicking himself because on the track Kyle is showing who the superior driver is BUT Jr. is brining in the big bucks in endorsements and sales and Hendricks is all about the bottom line....MONEY!

Answer 16

Jr fans hate any driver that isn't Jr.  But what started it is the fact that Kurt Bush is his brother.
