NASCAR: Five Memorable Victory Celebrations

Brick City

It’s not always the intent that is memorable, but the action. That was the case in 2015 when Kyle Busch managed to win his very first race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and decided he would celebrate with a burnout on the bricks. While doing a burn out on the bricks has been done before by Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart , something about Busch’s celebration rubbed some the wrong way.

Unfortunately for Busch, who later told media that he didn’t have a disrespectful intent in doing a burnout on the historic bricks, track officials didn’t take kindly to the incident and sent Busch a letter to voice their displeasure. Of course this later had a snow ball effect and gave fans the illusion that Busch had done the celebration in a show of disrespect.

In the end, the problem was forgotten by time Busch hoisted his very first Cup Championship later that year, but it is still a great example of how one-sided the media can be when it comes to certain drivers and certain situations.
