Kyle Busch: Rick Hendrick dropped me after outbursts 

He doesn’t just interview sports figures

@@amersonwimsattI never said he did

He kills it

Nascar and it’s gimmick game show style of racing these days is making that sport seem less serious than anyone else does, I’m a life long Motorsport and nascar fan but the way they conduct the races these days and the way the cars are set up is a joke

Your profile pic gave me COVID.

He would’ve won wherever but we’ll never know lol

Yea, he definitely was Winning wherever he went. It still worked out right and the best for him. I like Gibbs but he runs Toyota’s now days since they’ve been in the sport and I’m not a fan of HMS & they’re run Chevy lol weird , I’m not a fan of the robots he’s had over there. but it would have been nice seeing Kyle running Chevy and in particular his Chevy 5. Kyle would have been Great for Hendrick and I thin’ perfect to have that contrast from Gordon & Johnson’s personalities but still have the top Young Driver Laying down W’s 🏁 & getting 🏆 🏆 +🏆🏆

Still worked out right in the long run. Those Toyota’s are always strong out there and Gibbs keeps A Top Overall Team

@@dr.jackkevorkian1119 I'm a JR fan so I was rooting for Bowman, Chase, and Byron but I'm a fan of all the new drivers (though I don't watch the race anymore.. I still pay attention to the sport) Larson is at HMS and I loved him in the 42, but for the unfortunate reasons we all know of I don't root for him. I'd say he was almost my new favorite driver and I tried to be unbiased but I hope he fails now (truly sadly, I tried!) You make a great point about Gibbs! They are my most hated team because they've always been consistent! (Hated Stewart because he was a beast in '04 (well, 05) when I started watching racing. Love the addition of Christopher Bell for them, definitely looks to be a driver and definitely new blood for me to root against lol. I'll love to see how he drives mile and a halfs Who do you think the next champ will be of the new guys (maybe Chase again soon?)

You know I actually forgot about that! But in retrospect both DEI and Evernham wouldn't have been the best fit, (because of the economy collapse), but look what happened: 2X Cup Series Champion Truck series Owner Champion, the accomplishment list definitely speaks for itself)...

While I agree with what your basic message is. I think for Kyle is was more Toyota and Gibbs that taught him that. Rick Hendrick didn't really do much for Kyle. If you can remember Kyle said earlier that there wasn't much of a support system for him at HMS and Chevrolet. He was more or less left by everyone to do it all on his own. That's honestly the reason why I don't think I'll ever become an HMS fan. I don't think I like the way that team deals with drivers that aren't complete angels. HMS has always had a High and Mighty feel to them that I will never like.

@@slysupersonic Gibbs was huge for him as a mentor and the helping hand to keep him on the right track. You're definitely right about that... Just giving some indirect credit to the two owner's that showed the Busch brothers that no matter the talent, you can be replaced. Had to mean something going into their new ride's knowing they might not get another chance as good as the #18 and the #41 for Kurt. (After driving that POS Phoenix car for a year, Kurt turned into an angel. lol)

@@hotspur5621 Not really for Kurt though. He had his moments at SHR. But those moments were ok. I was scared that after everything that happened to him after Penske kicked him out, Kurt would forget who he is and try to pretend to be something he is not just so he could get a ride again. (Kiss Ass) I'm glad that didn't happen. As Kurt's younger brother would say: "I'd rather be hated for who I am than be loved for someone I'm not." I always liked Kurt, and glad he still has that classic Kurt Busch act still in him. He just culled it back a little bit.

@@slysupersonic not really. Rick always changing when it’s not working for his workers, drivers, Crews. Kyle wasn’t working so he let him go. I was surprised he kept Dale jr for longer. When he wasn’t doing good. I guess for marketing. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@MrZrazies Kyle Busch didn't fit the mold of a driver that Hendrick Motorsports was looking for. Kyle had the talent but because he wasn't as clean cut or as "perfect" as his then teammates he was let go. Joe Gibbs Racing is much different in that way. Over there, the priorities are in a different order. For JGR the most important thing is your on-track performance. You can sell all the merchandise you want and be as popular with the fans as you want. But if you don't perform in a Gibbs car, your ass is fired. Winning comes 1st at JGR. Gibbs doesn't care about how that might look to the fans, media or other teams/drivers. It's either you bring Joe the trophy or bring back the steering wheel. That whole win or die attitude at JGR goes back to Joe's days as a Superbowl winning head coach in the NFL. That attitude is why Kyle fits in well with JGR. All Kyle Busch cares about is winning.

Real talk

And for another Kyle (Larson) his mistakes are going to Benefit him too!

@@jeffbowling8891 honestly, you're right. I just hope that the past year taught him a valuable lesson, and that he knows not to do anything like that again!

I love how Hendrick has a holier-than-thou approach to his team when he's a fucking felon

@@Tristin471 Freedom of speech is a thing

Absolutely correct

EXACTLY! The real reason why Kyle Busch is so hated, is because, a lot of fans were ex-Dale Sr. Fans, and they are some of the hypocritical haters, because KYLE drives EXACTLY the SAME STYLE as Dale Sr., yet they REFUSE to admit it...

The Intimidator still had some CLASS. Kyle doesn't show that very often.

@@davidsloat1016 I'd say he does now u haven't seen the crazy outburst these last 2 seasons like u did earlier in his career besides the cussing and stuff but that just comes with nascar and I like the no filter kyle has

Who loves to lose?

Needs to learn to cope with loss a little better and not be crybaby

@@byronwins1034 Yep he needs to just say I had a great car today and was just too bad what happened at the end. Be another good corporate boring driver like most everyone else in the sport.

@@hawki5120 but isn’t that a doctored response?I guess thats what most of us want these days.

@ Stew, that's why I like him,

@@byronwins1034 not really. You need guys who hate to lose.

One of the best to ever do it*

Overrated**

He's very overrated

@@jaegermcmaster1324 I have raced and it doesn't matter anyway Busch is a pathetic child and an overrated crybaby 17 years 0 500 wins Only 1 real title My favorite all-time was 1000× better than no talent crybaby Busch ever will be

@@jaegermcmaster1324 Nope I know everything about both sports

Kyle’s The Man.

Yes it is. He even graduated high school one year early so he could devote that extra year to his racing career. Very smart and hard-working man!

because of KB attuide HMS isnt gonna put up with him

@@NickyD I get that but Casey Mears, was at best a top 15 driver. For 2 years

@@ashketchumsdad Hendrick drivers have to be nice first.

@@ashketchumsdad Casey mears took over kyles team and he was awful. He didn’t have cup talent

@@haroldpayne2527 yeah. Vanilla and clean cut.

He was going to make a hell of a lot more money off Dale Jr regardless what Kyle ever did though. Business wise it was a no brainer. Statistics and legend status of HMS Kyle would have provided a lot more in that respect probably minus at least one Daytona 500 win, maybe both.

2 Championship in 18 years I just wonder how many would he have if he did just learn to drive the car not the mouth

@@lindaalberto141 his attitude and emotion is part of the reason he's as good as he is take that away and you take a lot of the ability away as well you got to take the bad with the good at least in this scenario

@linda Well if JGR’s equipment would have held up back in 2008 he would have another one. And if Logano didn’t hold him up at homestead in 2017 he would have 4 right now. I’m of the opinion if Hendrick kept kyle then Jimmie wouldn’t be known as 7 time

Seeing them blossom from where they were at when I started in 2000 is magic

Solid comparison there. Well stated. Could not agree more.

Busch’s might be more talented, but they were their own worst enemies. The Labonte maybe overachieved, but they were hard workers and disciplined drivers early because of maturity and different ethics maybe.

@@ethanweeter2732 Best thing that happened to kurt busch was when jimmy spencer whooped his ass. The brother needs a ass whooping too. But 98pct that drives today ever had a whipping even as a kid

Busch Brothers are thee best WheelMan Race Car Driving Brothers side by side that have ever done it. Usually there’s 1 a lot better than the other and even compared to The Labonte’s the Busch Bros are superior. More W’s & both Bros have The Championship 🏆🏆🏆 Labonte Brothers definitely carried themselves a lot better back in their day, they have that. But on the track. Busch Bros reign supreme. Kurt used to be a lil beeatch off the track but Kyle has always been cool outside of the car & with fans. Other than if he doesn’t get that W but good thing he usually Wins. That’s why, because he’s not settling for 2nd Place.

Gibbs is a sellout

He's good at making gold plated turds, yes.

@@JJA1987 Joe Gibbs is a national treasure.

which is hilarious considering the drama of being a felon

Besides all that Hendricks wanted Earnhardt!

@@haroldpayne2527 HENDRICK not HENDRICKS....

@@vinewood8295 Thanks, Viney baby lol!

@@haroldpayne2527 I have never seen a S on the end of Hendrick

if you're a fan of his personality, you might reconsider some things in your life

Gibbs is Great Busch Is Baby.

Worst decision of Rick's career was keeping Casey Mears over Kyle Busch.

@@pinkdiablo4448 And it was the best decision for Kyle's.

The real reason was Kyle got wrecked and he walked out on the team and the crew fixed the car but Kyle was already gone and jr stepped in the seat

@@lilc94 and no one has touched his almost entire crew from last year leaving him because they got tired of being blamed when he wrecks himself by himself

@@lilc94 I think that bothered Rick as he had to face the sponsors during the race and after.

Mr. Weeter not sure how much you are aware of NASCAR or current days but Jimmie has won 7 championships. 7, not 5, 7.

@@palmerstubbs4067 he’s talking about after Kyle left.

Kyle left, HMS kept Mears, good trade, Dale Jr, no championships, Martin just got older,

We do not know the inside baseball of hendrick during 5 in a row period.

Word

Dale Earnhardt didn't whine. Everything out of Kyle's mouth is whining.

Amen on that

Fast Toyotas helped a lot too.

And in other ways not. Hendrick would probably have wanted to kill Kyle for that stupid stunt in the truck race that got him parked for the rest of the weekend.

Jr sure wasn't like Sr.!

Jr was closer to Rick and Ricky always wanted Jr to be at Hendricks.

@@chuckd.7048 - I’ve always hated that people automatically assume a son/daughter should be exactly like their parent. They’re not!

And Kyle is way better than Dale jr

@@GoDawgs18 nope Jr is far better than overrated crybaby Busch

Why he's my guy,

Dale was a man while Kryle is a punk

Ciao Italia 👋

Lol I’m gonna be that guy...you are full of shit lol...Kyle Busch wasn’t going to be at a local dive in Indy the night before the second biggest race of the season. He was dropped after the season was over...and you don’t have to make up bull shit lies on RU-vid to convey your point lol...not even going to into the age factor he wasn’t even 21 when he was fired.

Did you get his autograph

Yes, he just didn't know that Kyle would be a very good racer, too.

I agree with u but he gotta save face =/

@@JeffWeselyan Aw yeah I know.

If he had kept Kyle and the 2011 Texas truck race situation happened, I think that would’ve been the end of it right there, mr h would not have put up with that like Gibbs did

Hey Hendrick has done better without Kyle so I’m not complaining

Dumbest statement ever written on You tube!! Congrats 🏆

Amen to that 👍

Hold my watch...

Amen

Really? I thought it was chicken s___ as he didn't let Kyle get out of the car.

And what young man is going to fight back with a grandpa?

I hate him with a passion but he was going to win in anything he was in

Kyle was Putting down W’s & Picking up 🏁🏁🏁🏁 no matter where @ or whom he was driving for.

But, Scot is right, too... Matt, another Iceman, was able to work with Kyle... and not clash heads often.

More fights, more chaos, less unity, more torn up race cars, less sponsors... To clarify less sponsors... How often do you see Kyle in a car with a sponsor that isn't a household name that can risk being associated with the most polarizing driver in NASCAR? lol. It's like JG being sponsored by Dupont for so long... they didn't have the competition to worry about. JJ... Lowe's had competition from Home Depot... that worked because not many people despised Jimmie if they weren't fans.

Chase Elliott seems to be doing a good job also

yeah thats why has yeah 2 wins in over a year and a half he is trash

Kyle's maturity probably would have developed faster if he went through what Kurt did. But it worked out in the end for Kyle

Happens more at jgr lol

He's not matured stop BSing

Define mature.

No they won't

Toby Richardson like a case of the black clap. Spoiled little prick would have had his ass handed to him by real drivers back in the day!

@@pgh1all1 yes you are right my favorite back in the day would have kicked cryles ass dale sr

Who's the rich dudes?

Kyle and Kurt weren’t rich growing up

Worked out pretty good for him

@@tylerepperson4381 not with JR. Case Elliot yes.

Not if he has any sense. He's beholden to the sponsors on those cars to TRY to get them into victory lane as well.

“Understand” meaning “put up with”

That's where gibbs head coaching experience helped

@@jamesb_53 No not at all. I said UNDERSTAND because I meant UNDERSTAND. HMS fan are we? Or are we just a Kyle Busch hater? Doesn't really matter either, what's done is done.

@@adampatterson5475 Exactly!!! Joe Gibbs worked with a lot of Hot/Hard headed players back in the NFL. So he know's how to deal with people like that. I mean, look at his results with Tony Stewart. And make no mistake, Tony was no sweetheart either.

Like all the other replies are saying, Joe Gibbs was a football coach, he knew how to mold angry young talent into good players. Hendrick was a business man, so he looked at numbers and public image.

Mr h should be in jail where do you think he was in 1997 hint at home with a ankle bracelet.

Including pissing people off.

Now that’s what I like to hear.

Yep I’m also a big HMS fan but I also feel that Kyle is one of the best NASCAR drivers out there that goes without all the due credit deserved. Yea he’s got a hot head but I think it’s been obvious how that has changed over time by the maturity of marriage and becoming a father. As a driver he’s aggressive, highly aware of his cars limits and drives it to its max, he’s knowledgeable of every tactic, and knows what his competitors moves are going to be to make his block or move at the right time. You can observe the feelings and compassion he has in his past interviews, human traits not covered by the media.

@@natural-born_pilot Loved that spin he took from Kevin in the play offs and Kevin lost momentum and Kyle just put the power down following the 360.

Doubt that. They made tons of money from Jr's name and have a solid Xfinity team to scout from which is what led to Chase and Alex.

Nope got Jr a far better racer and person

They've both changed a lot over the years, though, especially Kurt who's somehow become the most reasonable guy in all of Nascar. Totally agree, however, that if Kyle was as cool-headed as Jimmie Johnson he'd have way more than two championships by now.

@@daniel_charms I Remember Kurt after the Phoenix race when he got into big-time trouble.

Cade Crede : he pushed his girlfriend at the time in a fit of rage like the spoiled little punkass that he is and she fell and fractured her arm. If he's anyone's kind of man,i feel very sorry for you. He's a little boy with a big fragile ego.

The Best All Around A-Hole

He pissed off too many Hendrick fans, crew, and drivers with his lack of respect and professionalism.

jdtractor man Just like a lot of people that age never had a beat down get your mind right in their lifetime. He would have worn several beat downs if he had been in his prime when richard petty the allison brothers yarbrough baker issac etc. Just as earnhardt sr would have. World has changed people dont show respect to each other. Prime example now this is long time ago. John wayne Kirk douglas oppisites in politics but both respected each other in an interview. Jimmy stewart Henry fonda same way after they had a fist fight. Nascar has went down hill and I dont think it will ever be what it once was.At least they continue with national anthem and a prayer though

Tim Richmond.

I want to know when Byron is going to start winning?

1 time that asterisk in 15 dont count

@@nascarfan8891 if it's in the history books, it counts. whether you like it or not.

@@dshih199 nope it doesent get over it

@@nascarfan8891 i dont like him either but its printed in history... grow up and get over it.

Cryle is NASCAR's most overrated no talent bum ever

Golden

Yeah, Casey Mears was such a winner 😂

ahd we hear the breathing "Larson, I am your father..."

Technically you just gave Kyle a compliment. Remember what happened to Anakin in the end. Anakin became evil but in the end he did what was right and killed the emperor, destroying the sith and saving his son luke just like the prophecy said he would. Kyle Busch may have gone bad but in the end he became the champion that everyone thought he would be back when he made his Nascar debut. And while his son, Brexton, is not in any immediate danger. He can still look to his dad's accomplishments as inspiration for his own career. So you technically just said that despite all his flaws, in the end Kyle redeemed himself just like Anakin.

He had already been at Roush

Roush, penske were bigger. But i could see rcr shelling out then, CGR too. Gibbs only had tony & bobby for a bit. But this was tony's unhappy un successful days plus denny was new and they had jj yeley in the 18

No Kyle just a jack ass!!
