Kyle Busch: Nascar Driver

Behind the Wheel

by Simone Payment

Growing up in the shadows of his older brother Kurt, a fellow NASCAR racer and something of a “bad boy,” Kyle Busch has had to carve out his own identity and his own racing career. Unlike his more wild and hot-tempered brother, Kyle has preferred to keep his head down, work hard, and pile up wins without making a spectacle of himself. Yet in his early years, struggling under the burden of people’s expectations that he was just like his brother, Kyle sometimes fought with other drivers and even had a running feud with NASCAR star Tony Stewart. Having gradually matured, Kyle is now on the same racing team as Stewart and he has very much grown up and become his own man—one who is widely respected by both the public and his fellow drivers.
