Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better\u2026<\/p>\n

NASCAR should do what the MLB did with Roberto Clemente and elect Kyle Busch into the HOF immediately. I don\u2019t think anyone would complain if he was an addition to this next class that was just announced<\/p>\n
