Kyle Busch says he knows he’s supposed to sign autographs and be friendly to NASCAR fans.
But at some point it gets ridiculous, he said after Saturday’s Nationwide race at Nashville Superspeedway.
A crowd that appeared to be half of the announced 25,000 turned out for the race. Many took advantage of the track’s new All Access promotion that includes pre-race access to the garage, front stretch and driver’s meeting.
Busch was not particularly pleased with how the promotion played out.
“There were a lot of people with a lot more access than typical,” Busch said. “Some fans need to respect the drivers a little more because they’re bringing suitcases of diecasts for us to sign. Yeah, it’s our job to sign for the fans and to treat them nice, but when they have three suitcases, that’s a little ridiculous.”
Fans with suitcases? If people are bringing suitcases packed with diecasts, then Busch has a legitimate gripe. If he’s exaggerating, he needs to just sign and keep smiling.
