This Year’s “New” Kyle Busch: Why Is It Different Than Any Other?
For the last several years, it seems like the words “new” and “Kyle Busch” have been paired up annually around this portion of the season. It’s usually around Charlotte or Darlington where Busch has his first major episode and we quickly laugh at the notion that it was even possible for him to sincerely do a 180 with his anger management. Just like previous years, Busch has started the first few weeks off without incident, and has even gone longer than the past without making headlines for the wrong reasons. However, we haven’t heard anything about a “new Kyle Busch” this year. Maybe it’s because some people can only be tricked so much and have finally stopped falling for this gimmick, or because of his episode with Ron Hornaday in the Truck Series last fall, along with his brother Kurt realizing what can happen for bad behavior, Kyle has been forced to play nice for good.
