In his short NASCAR career, Kyle Busch has won a ton of races and also rankled more than a few drivers, fans and even teammates. Many fans tend to overlook the immense talent and achievements and only focus on the negatives. It’s not a fair opinion, so hopefully Busch continues to do things like he did after his (tenth) Nationwide win last weekend. Here’s a few post-race quotes courtesy of Nationwide.
Kyle Busch won his second race of the year at the Texas Motor Speedway when he beat out Carl Edwards in Saturday’s O’Reilly Challenge.Yeah, he[Edwards] went a little bit higher than me and got some clean air on his car and really hustled that last lap. I was hustling for all I had — my tongue was hanging out today, I had my truck’s tongue hanging out last night I was pushing it for all it was worth, but you know that Nationwide car it had me driving my brains out there at the end. He was coming, and that was just a product of his four tires versus my two and being on them for 20 laps or whatever it was, you know, so probably one more lap and he would have had me. Luckily, it was only a 200-lapper today.
Saturday’s victory was the 10th on the year for Busch, tying the mark set by Sam Ard in 1983.
Yeah, this is a record-setting day for myself. And Sam Ard who’s at home in Florence, South Carolina, with his wife Jo and you know I want to say hi to him and of course you know we’re going to be sending him $100,000 his way to help him out a little bit. We know he’s going through health troubles and hopefully that’ll help bring a smile to his face.
