Do haters dislike Busch for dominance or personality issues?posted in NASCAR on Aug 26th 2010 at 1:13pm.
Is Kyle Busch an a@#? Brad Keselowski obviously thinks so, and he had
no problems expressing his opinion of his fellow competitor last
Saturday night during driver introductions preceding the Irwin Tools 500
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol,
Tenn. When handed the microphone during pre-race ceremonies, Keselowski
said what he thought about Busch after introducing himself, something he
said another driver—Juan Montoya—said he wouldn’t do.
Busch has drawn the ire of a lot of NASCAR fans since his entry into
the national ranks a few years ago. He does have his supporters, though,
and even most of those who claim to hate the guy will admit the the
driver has a lot of talent and is one heck of a race car driver.
While Busch lovers and haters seem to agree that Busch is a great
race car driver, there is something they don’t agree on—why all the
hate? According to Busch fans, Busch haters are simply haters because
the guy wins all the time—an argument they seem to have borrowed from
Jeff Gordon fans, ala the 1990s.
The haters see it another way. According to them, the strong dislike
for Busch—a dislike so strong it seems to make stomaches turn at the
mere mention of the driver they love to hate—is the guy’s attitude.To read more, visit Auto Racing Daily.

For me, it's his personality. Is he a talented driver? Absolutely. But his arrogance and tendency to whine and point fingers overshadows that. He's a young guy who needs to mature and learn how to be a gracious winner...and loser. Look at Jimmie Johnson for a contrast. I'm not a big Johnson fan because I don't think it's good for the sport when the same guy wins the championship year after year. Though Johnson is obviously a more accomplished driver than Busch, you generally don't see him grandstanding and treating people poorly. When Kyle Busch becomes a good sport and supportive team member, people will show him the respect that his talent deserves.
