NASCAR: Off week reminder: Don’t troll Kyle Busch

Visibly emotional after winning three NASCAR races at Bristol, Kyle Busch took the opportunity to call out his haters and trolls. Instead of letting them get him down, he showed that he feeds off of them.

As we head into one of the rare off weekends that the NASCAR Cup Series has during the season, let me take this opportunity to remind you that trolling 2015 Cup Series champion Kyle Busch is never a good idea.

Need a reason or reasons? Just look at last weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway, where Busch won not one, not two, but three races, completing the weekend sweep of the Truck, Xfinity and Cup Series races at the 0.533-mile oval in Bristol, Tennessee. It was the second time he pulled off the historic feat, and he maintained his status as the only driver to ever pull it off.

After he won his first two races of the weekend in the Truck Series and Xfinity Series, Busch responded to a Twitter troll, who has since deleted the Tweet to which Busch was replying (although we still have a photo of it, shown below), by telling him to go back to his grandmother’s basement.

Here is a picture of the Tweet to which Busch was replying.

And here was Busch’s reply.

Cold.

Then when he went on to win the Cup Series race the night after winning the Xfinity Series race, giving him his sixth career Cup Series win at the track and 20th in NASCAR’s top three series combined, he went on to start trolling his haters himself, which we’ll touch on below.

While many cheered the 32-year-old Joe Gibbs Racing driver when he emerged victories from his #18 Toyota, many booed as well.

While the haters may have thought that they were accomplishing something, they weren’t. All they were doing was making him want to win more and embrace that role as the “villain” that NASCAR needs. Former NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace gets it.

Boy did Busch prove that. Instead of letting the boos get to him, he embraced them. Broom in hand, he hopped up onto the roof of the #18 car and started sweeping, symbolizing the historic sweep he had just pulled off. As the boos increased in volume, the sweeps increased in intensity before he raised the broom above his head to proclaim his victory in the “Last Great Colosseum”.

During a post-race interview, Busch responded to the boos from his haters.

"“I don’t care. All noise is good noise.”"

Like Kenny Wallace said, all any of that noise will do is egg Busch on to go win more races. We’ll see if that holds true and he can add to his win totals of 49 in the Truck Series, 91 in the Xfinity Series and 40 in the Cup Series.
