“You want to wait until a guy dies and then care about who he was as a person is the part that pisses me off about everybody.”
NASCAR legend Kyle Busch died close to a month ago. The driver was dealing with a case of pneumonia which turned into sepsis.
Since then, a wave of support has followed. In every race since his passung, NASCAR has gone silent on lap 8 of the television broadcast.
Kyle Busch cause of death clarified by the family
Busch is credited as the winningest driver in the history of NASCAR. He grabbed 63 NASCAR Cup Series wins along with 102 O’Reilly Series wins and 69 more Truck Series wins.
But, it wasn’t all love. Busch was one of the most hated drivers in the sport. When he took the stage at the track, it was a wave of boos from the crowd. Tony Stewart hasn’t forgotten that.
Stewart isn’t happy with the fans that have a sudden respect for Busch…
Tony Stewart comments on the passing of Kyle Busch
“I guess the biggest thing in this tragedy that’s happened that pisses me off the most is that now everybody wants to talk about how he was as a person,” Tony Stewart told Mighty Mack.
“Outside of that, all they wanted to do is judge what they saw on TV. It’s frustrating.”
“That’s the way every one of us are judged by what they see on TV and then once you die, they want to talk about how good a person you were. That’s the part that pisses me off the most about it right now. Should’ve given him a chance to learn him as a person before they judged him in the first place.”
“So, right now, I don’t care about educating everybody about how Kyle Busch was. I know how Kyle Busch was. The fact that they all want to learn now, they’re the a–holes for not taking the time to learn him and accept him for who he was back then.
“You want to wait until a guy dies and then care about who he was as a person is the part that pisses me off about everybody.”
Stewart currently races with NHRA. Before that, he was a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion.
