Kyle Busch Blames God for Emotional Outbursts

In the most recent plot twist of the Kyle Busch behavioral saga, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver blamed his emotional outbursts on…God.

Yes, you read that correctly. If it’s not Joey Logano to blame for a wreck he didn’t cause at Las Vegas, not Talladega to blame for not being a real race track, or not a mediocre day to blame for a 5th place finish at Kansas, it’s obviously God’s fault that 2015 NASCAR champion Kyle Busch cannot control his emotions after losing. Yep, definitely.

Well, I guess the first part of this newest development is a plus. After his recent outburst following his 2nd place finish at Charlotte, which you can see below, Busch did admit that he has a problem with losing gracefully. In other words, he admitted that he has been, is, and likely always will be a sore loser, which isn’t seen as a bad thing from one particular driver.

Here is what Busch had to say.

"“Different people show their emotions in different ways. Unfortunately for me, mine has never been very gracious — I don’t know that it ever will be.”"

Here is that interview that has had the NASCAR world talking over the past week, if you somehow have not seen it yet.

Now, here’s Busch talking about who is to blame for this and other emotional outbursts.

"“I’m kind of learning that as the days go on. My son is 2 years old, I see where it came from. It’s genetics. I’m sorry, it’s just who I am. That’s what I was given. If there is anybody to blame, it’s probably the guy upstairs.”"

If there’s a good side to this story aside of the fact that Busch realizes there is a problem with his outbursts, it’s that he at least has come to know God over the past few years, in part due to his 2015 accident at Daytona that sidelined him for over 1/4 of the season.

But while, if you do believe in God, anything and everything bad can technically be blamed on Him and anything and everything good can be a reason to thank Him, is it really fair for Busch to blame his emotional outbursts on the traits that God has given him? As a human being, Busch still has control over his body and is making his own decisions; no one, Busch included, is God’s robot.

Realizing there’s a problem is one thing. Busch did that. Trying to fix it without playing the blame game is another. Busch has yet to attempt that.
