CONCORD, N.C. — Kyle Busch has always been known for his colorful celebrations following a race victory, which includes smoking the tires and a bow to the crowd.
But that wasn’t the case after Busch won last Friday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway.
Ben Rhodes had a solid lead on Busch and looked poised to win before his No. 27 ThorSport Racing Toyota Tundra blew an engine with 26 laps remaining. Rhodes relinquished the lead and Busch drove to victory.
But there were no burnouts or wild celebrations from Busch, choosing to grab the checkered flag and head straight to Victory Lane knowing Rhodes had the faster truck before it all went south for the young driver.
