Kyle Busch found a number of supporters on Twitter
A large number of fans were of the opinion that Kyle Busch is capable of being a win threat. One person even went as far as to claim that he could be well within a shot of clinching the Dayton 500. Of course, some people acknowledged that they were not very big fans of him because of his attitude. On the other hand, they disliked the way Toyota handled his final few races with Joe Gibbs Racing.

Kyle Busch. I feel the most optimistic ive ever felt about him taking the 500 next year. In a race where teamwork is key, he has half the field on his side with the bowtie badge

@KyleBusch. Spent the last 15 years loathing the man but I don’t like Toyota. Always thought he was one of the best tho behind the wheel. Excited to see what Rowdy does with @RCRracing and @TeamChevy!

As much as I dislike him, you gotta think the obvious answer is KyBu

One fan even admitted that even though they were not big fans of him, Busch was the obvious answer. Some were also confident that he and teammate Austin Dillon would bring Richard Childress Racing to championship contention. The team has amassed six Cup Series titles during its tenure, ever since it debuted all the way back in 1969. Dale Earnhardt was the most successful champion, winning in 1986, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1993 and 1994.
