Whether you love or hate (or love to hate) Kyle Busch, you gotta admit, he’s entertaining as hell.
He may be one of the best drivers in NASCAR history, but I’m not gonna lie, I watch him every Sunday hoping for a meltdown, a sarcastic post-race interview, or him cussing out another driver for wrecking him.
Enter Brad Keselowski.
During the second stage of today’s Cup Series Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, Brad Keselowski got into the wall and lost control, and there was nothing Kyle could do to avoid it.
Making contact on his left front, Kyle is done for the day.

However, instead of driving his wrecked 18 car off the track, Kyle Busch just left it on pit road.
Of course, last fall at Darlington, Kyle was fined $50,000 for driving over the cones exiting pit road after he wrecked out in that race, so could this move have been that patented Kyle Busch sarcasm? Who knows…
Fox NASCAR broadcaster Clint Bowyer didn’t like it though:

In the post race interview, Kyle said he just couldn’t make the corner and that’s why he left it there:

Needless to say, the Kyle Busch haters took to Twitter in full force:
Kyle Busch is such a poor sport. It truly is must watch TV.

Kyle Busch is a punk and #NASCAR needs to suspend his whiney ass for leaving his car and walking off!! This dude gives Nascar and #JGR racing a bad name.

Kyle Busch really showing how much of a bitch he really is. Leaving the car on pit road and going straight to his hauler will draw the ire of @NASCAR as he didn’t go to the medical center. What a baby. #Goodyear400

I'm sorry, but, Kyle Busch is just a door knob. He's just a sour, grumpy, sore loser. So tired of his antics. #nascar

@KyleBusch makes it a point every week to remind everyone that he's the biggest crybaby sore loser in #NASCAR

Kyle Busch is such a baby. He might be the biggest poor sports in all of sports. And that’s not to say I’m against people showing emotion (good or bad), because I love that. But he just acts like a toddler when things go wrong.

Wasn't a cool move by Kyle Busch.
Just drive the damn car into the garage. #NASCAR

And the fans came to his defense:
Kyle Busch is still the man.

People are too critical for @KyleBusch if I were to get taken out of a race I was doing well in I would be totally pissed off as well not want nothing to do with any1. I don't blame him one bit for acting like he did. He didn't wreck, almost run anyone over. He just stepped away

I mean if the car won’t make the turn… he got chastised and fined for coming in hot last year.

He said the car wouldn’t turn. Honestly, I don’t care. I’m not sure this is worthy of any in-depth discussion. #motormouths
