Kyle Busch has been receiving criticism from many fans regarding his participation in the Lucas Oil Tulsa Shootout.
Some fans are of the opinion that Busch should not race in the lower tier as he has an unfair advantage over these drivers.
You hate the comparison because it’s true. You don’t see MLB going down the ranks. Why? Because they should dominate. Kyle should win every race in every lower tier. Stick and ball sports have players leaving the lower levels ASAP to show their ability to the big boys

Busch has defended his decision by rightly saying that just being in the Cup Series doesn’t mean that you are intrinsically better than the drivers from the lower tiers.
If it’s true then what r u saying about the best of the open wheel/dirt world? The WoO, top micro, dirt Late model guys/gals are all nobodies and not pro’s?! I will disagree all day long! Just because they aren’t “NASCAR” drivers doesn’t make them lesser. https://t.co/iWa2H4StCD

There are a lot of critics to Busch’s participation but there are also some fans who support his decision. One of the fans pointed out the reaction Dale Earnhardt used to receive when he participated in the local short tracks. He tweeted:
“I don’t even know why you bother responding. I remember Dale Earnhardt at my local short tracks, in the Busch cars etc. Nobody had a problem then. In fact it was celebrated as helping the sport!”

Busch was very much in agreement with the fan and said that some fans always find negative things to say about the drivers. He replied:
“Different times I guess. I think people just find something negative and complain about something all the time. Because they can w no repercussions.”

As Busch said, there will always be critics pointing out complaints on whatever he does. But Busch is someone who is immune to such criticism and he will do what he does best: to race.
Racers gonna’ race…Let’s Go Kyle!
Prior to commenting – I am NOT a Kyle Bush fan, I DO respect his ability to “wheel” different vehicles. I do not feel it wrong for him to race other series. Just because he is a star in NASCAR will not make him unbeatable in any other series. He IS a race car driver & that is his passion. He has every right to race whatever as long as it is not contested by his sponsors or his primary race car owner. It is not like this is the first time a driver has attempted other avenues of racing! He is a fair competitor, except for early in his career when he dumped Dale Jr at Charlotte to win the race! I hope he sees this. (And, you can give him my email)
98% of these people that have negative comment against Kyle Busch are just negative people. Because if you are a true Kyle Busch fan you would not say anything because you will understand. And I will mention to Racing in general.
