After a tough conclusion to the regular season, Kyle Busch is set to make headlines off the track, and it seems like he’s more than ready for it. Known for his outspoken nature, Busch never shies away from sharing his thoughts, and his latest tweet suggests he’s stepping into a new role. The #8 driver, who had qualified for the NASCAR Playoffs for 11 consecutive years, missed out this time. Despite the disappointment, Busch is set to co-host NASCAR’s *Inside the Playoffs* show on truTV and Max, giving him a platform to discuss the season’s ups and downs.
The show will air every Thursday at 7 p.m., and Busch confirmed that he’ll be on it starting today. The purpose of the show is to recap the past weekend’s NASCAR events and set the stage for the upcoming race. Produced by TNT Sports, it will feature a lineup of notable reporters and broadcasters, including Jordan Bianchi from *The Athletic*, Shannon Spake from FOX, Mamba Smith—NASCAR’s “Chief Hype Officer,” and retired crew chief Steve Letarte. Although Bianchi mentioned that Busch will only appear in the first two episodes, it’s still a significant opportunity for him, especially with truTV’s broad reach. With 3.38 million subscribers and around 19 million views per month, Busch’s participation is expected to draw even more attention to the show. It’s also an excellent opportunity for NASCAR to expand its fan base, and having Busch, one of the sport’s most famous drivers, involved is a major win.
Fans have reacted with great excitement to the news of Busch joining the show. No matter his performance on the track, Busch has always maintained a dedicated fanbase. His supporters have stood by him through the highs and lows, as evidenced by the fan video Busch shared before the Daytona race, where his followers rallied behind him. Now, with Busch venturing into the world of talk shows, fans are thrilled. One fan expressed their excitement by saying, “Kyle fricken Busch. Whatever he’s in, it’s epic. Don’t miss it.” The producers of the show seem to have made a smart choice in bringing Busch on board, as his presence alone is sure to attract viewers. Another fan mentioned, “Already set it to record in case I miss it,” while some fans voiced concerns about possibly missing their favorite driver’s appearance, with one writing, “I’ve never set an alarm for TruTV, but here we are.”
Busch’s fanbase is clearly excited to see him in this new role. One fan commented, “Will do, can’t wait! Your interviews have been great.” Despite the hype surrounding his talk show debut, many fans are still hoping for a race win from Busch this season. The upcoming race at Atlanta is crucial for him, and one fan perfectly captured the sentiment by saying, “Make sure you pull into Victory Lane, then brag about it next episode.”
Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to NASCAR, Kyle Busch’s presence on the show promises to bring plenty of entertainment and insight into the world of racing. Be sure to tune in and catch all the action as Busch steps into the spotlight.
