In-game description[]
"The number 18 Camry in which Kyle Busch showed his skill in aggressive driving."
Kyle Busch, the younger brother of 2004 champion Kurt Busch, showed exceptional prowess as a racing driver from an early age, and was attracting attention right from his teenage years. From 2008, he moved from Chevrolet's top team Hendrick Motorsports to Joe Gibbs Racing, and his skill really began to show. 2008 was a season in which Kyle Busch became one of the top drivers in NASCAR.
With perfect timing, the team had just changed the car to a Toyota Camry that was in its second year of entry. Toyota worked hard to develop the 'Car of Tomorrow', a next-generation machine for NASCAR, and succeeded in showing a level of speed that even exceeded that year's champion Chevrolet. It was Kyle's driving that really drew out the full potential of the car though.
Right from the start of the race to the chequered flag, Kyle's ultra-aggressive driving style overwhelms his competitors. At times brushing up against other cars in his zelaous drive to get ahead, he's also a source of frequent disputes. His unabashed character and attitude have gained him popularity however, and he has climbed very quickly to stardom.
With long-time top driver Tony Stewart[1] leaving the team to establish his own team, Kyle has now become one of the top drivers for Toyota. There are many fans who are attracted to his aggressive driving style, which has been said to have changed driving itself in NASCAR.
