Kyle Busch Quotes (37 Quotes)


    If a young kid 12 or 15 years old wants to sign with a big-name team, more power to him. That just means that he's been recognized at a young age and that he's got the ability there that the team has been looking for.

    We're not out to let back or do anything slouchy. If we've got to turn a little sideways to make a move, we'll do it.

    I really wanted to create my own identity and not be so closely linked with my brother, so I chose to go with Hendrick. But there's no question that my big break in the sport came about because of Kurt. At the same time I wouldn't be here if I couldn't hack it. I plan on being in the Chase next year.

    That was a great run for us. We have a good race car. It's the sister car to what we won with here last fall, so hopefully (my team) can make it just as good, if not better.

    And he really doesn't know where he is most of the time.


    It's probably hurt me more. Now I have to live up to his expectations. I have my own going for me now.

    We were out at the sand dunes and had a good time and talked a little bit. It's just all about how to be patient.

    I'd have to say right now he's probably looking toward the top five in the point standings, ... even though I'd love to believe that he could still get the championship.

    No, I still have that yellow stripe on. You have got to wait to take that off.

    It was a judgment call by NASCAR, and there's nothing we can do about it now. I tried getting down in front of him, but I ran him below the yellow line, I guess.

    With about 40 laps to go, it's time to race and time to get after it and that's what I was doing. If I did something and aggravated Stewart, well, I'm sorry.

    I had the best seat in the house. The car was one of the best I've had at Vegas, but it was a little too loose.

    There was really nothing I could've done. It was way too early to be going five wide. I was minding my own business in my own lane. It's just one of those deals. We got clipped in the back by (Edwards) -- not his doing. He didn't have much room.

    I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. We were five-wide and I didn't have any place to go. I'm sorry if everybody wants to put the blame on me.

    I know Jimmie is a chase driver, but it doesn't much matter to me, I'm trying to race as hard as I can to win,

    Each of the races is different and we hope that we start off on the right foot like we did last year,

    It's been one of those years where you just try to keep going and learn on what you need to do to make yourself better. You just have to keep going.

    We were a little too tight at the end and couldn't get the fresh air we needed. I was hoping he might be little looser and chase up the track.

    It's not that there were some (penalties called) that were or were not necessary. It's just that they are judgment calls that may or may not need to be made and they made them. We just have to go on. We finished where we finished.

    I looked in my mirror and saw all this stuff around me and then I realized I was going to go across the line first, so that was great, ... But I'm sorry we tore up a good Chevy Silverado truck. It's my favorite.

    This is a great way to start with a new group of guys. Our Dodge was fast today and hopefully it was still be fast on Sunday.

    There's a lot of trial and error. A lot of the stuff fails. A lot of the stuff works. Overall, it's about trying to find the happy medium of the day.

    I don't think it's fair. You learn by trial and error and you have to go out there and learn how to do it. And yes, you should learn between the specific points, which for me I've only tried to do it in what NASCAR has determined to be the OK zone.

    I can't see what I'm doing from inside the race car while I'm outside it, so I guess I'll have to have a sit-down (with Stewart) and figure out what went wrong. I want to clear the air because I don't want to get dumped at Atlanta. Atlanta will hurt.

    Whenever you're near Junior's car, you go faster. He just pulls you along in the draft.

    He did and he didn't. He had a sense of 'Yeah, OK, that makes sense but still, I don't care.' He's in his race car trying to run his race and I'm trying to run my race. Sometimes conflicts happen.

    The guys are doing an unbelievable job, ... I didn't think the lap was all that good, but it held up. We've really been running well here as of late. Hopefully we can keep it going the rest of the year.

    You just hope you're not around it. I guess it's almost inevitable, sometimes. It's easier to do it at a short track than it is at a speedway (and) if you're going to do it, it's a lot safer.

    It's not whether you are getting boos or cheers, it's who gets the most noise. Right now it's close between Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr., but the Busch brothers are steadily climbing that rope.

    Come up and talk to the driver about it. Help me out. I'm a young guy and I'm trying to learn. If you want to teach me something, come up and discuss it with me and tell me what I need to do differently.

    We talked a little bit. It was a good conversation. A civil one. We just talked about what I aggravated him with last week and we both decided to move along and see how we can race the rest of the year.

    There have been some instances where I've put my car in situations where maybe I should have thought a little bit differently about. But that's any driver. It's all about trying to gain respect. That's something that's important to me. I hope I've done a great enough job on that. I'm only in the start of my second year, so there's still a little bit more to do.

    Right now, it's a time for our team to shine. What we're doing to this year is something very special -- to hopefully backup our championship. It's fun to work with everybody right now and see everyone pulling together.

    You talk like Kurt and I are wrecking people intentionally. That's ludicrous That's absurd That statement is about as silly as someone celebrating a race win in 80-degree weather in Texas with a snow angel.

    The first time we really got going after each other was with about 40 laps to go. That's the perfect amount of laps to go where it's time to dig in deep and get after it and get on top of the wheel and start going. There is no more rolling over and playing dead and letting guys go and stuff like that -- It's time to race and it's time to get after it and that's what I was doing.

    I'm only driving my car 85, 90 percent out there -- not even pushing it the final 100 percent because I'm scared to death seeing all the other people with problems out there. It's just terrible circumstances to race in.

    Usually, things in the media are false and that's just what it comes down to sometimes, I'm not going there, bud.
