NASCAR: Leave Kyle Busch Alone!

How dare anyone out there boo Kyle Busch after all he's been through!

He was banned from competing in NASCAR until he was 18. He lost his seat at Hendrick. Even Dale Earnhardt Inc. snubbed him.

He turns things around with Joe Gibbs and starts winning races at an amazing clip. But all you people care about is hating him and Toyota.

HE'S A HUMAN! What you don't realize is that Kyle is having an unprecedented season and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him.

No driver has performed at this level in years. But he acts like more of a jerk because you people boo and put pressure on him, more and more and MORE AND MORE!

LEAVE HIM ALONE! You're lucky he even puts up with you! LEAVE KYLE ALONE!

A lot of you people talk about how he's nothing like Dale Earnhardt because of the way he blatantly wrecks people to win races.

Speaking of wrecking people, didn't Dale Earnhardt give a few drivers the chrome horn in order to win races?

Leave Kyle alone, please! Leave Kyle Busch alone! Right now! I mean it!

Anyone that has a problem with him, you deal with me, because he doesn't deserve any more of your complaints right now.

LEAVE HIM ALONE!

...Nah, I'm just kidding. That's the beauty of this sport: The fact that we are free to choose our allegiances to drivers, instead of feeling pressured to support the local team based on proximity.

Now, you may not be a Kyle Busch fan, and I'm not always one either. But at least in our sport, we can feel free to support—or hate—a driver based on his or her performance, instead of based on how close he or she is to home.

I wish that a lot more people would recognize that Kyle Busch is the next big thing for our sport, and it's because of his talent more than Toyota's dollars—but I guess there's still a massive anti-Toyota sentiment in the sport preventing people from accepting Busch's dream season.

I just hope people would hate him just as much if he drove a Chevrolet.
