Homestead, Fla. • Kyle Busch casually collected the championship flag from his team and did a slow, subdued celebratory lap. The most polarizing driver in NASCAR had just won his second Cup title and wanted his true fans to enjoy the moment with him.
It was a lesson learned from his first Cup title in 2015 when Busch ruined the massive championship banner doing smoke-filled burnouts.
“It messed up the flag and everything and I wanted to get a good shot with the flag everywhere, make sure everybody could get a good shot of the flag because we’re the 2019 champions,” Busch said.
