NASCAR: 5 things to complain about with Kyle Busch’s 2019 Truck season over
By Asher Fair
Friday nights throughout the start of the 2019 NASCAR season were littered with complaints about Kyle Busch competing in and winning Truck Series races. But at least for 2019, those nights are history. What can fans complain about now?
With Kyle Busch Motorsports’ Kyle Busch having made the fifth of his five scheduled starts in the 23-race 2019 NASCAR Truck Series season’s eighth race, the NC Education Lottery 200, at Charlotte Motor Speedway, expect Friday nights on NASCAR-related social media posts to be long and boring, as no one will be able to complain about the 34-year-old Las Vegas, Nevada native “beating up on the kids” anymore this year.
Busch competed in the Truck Series races at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway this season, and he won all five of those races.
As a result, Busch, who has been a full-time Cup Series driver since the 2005 season, increased his career Truck Series win total from 51 to 56 this year. After starting the season tied with Ron Hornaday Jr. atop the all-time Truck Series wins list, Busch is now the winningest driver in Truck Series history, and his record may very well continue to climb but not be broken.
But with Busch no longer set to “steal candy from babies” on Friday nights until the 2020 season when he will likely win several more Truck Series races in his expected five starts, what do NASCAR fans have to complain about?
It is no secret that many NASCAR fans can be some of the most rowdy (no pun intended) fans on social media no matter the situation, so it certainly won’t be hard for those fans to find something to complain about.
But just in case the post-Busch Truck Series season hangover is stronger than expected, here are five things that you can still complain about on NASCAR-related social media posts even with Busch’s time behind the wheel of the #51 Toyota complete for the 2019 season with just over one-third of the season in the books.
