First among many reasons is a sense of entitlement rivalling Vegeta and taking genuine pride in stomping the field in lower-series races

NASCAR has a lower level that he runs in which makes him UltraHitler but Brad K does it and it's okay because this thread is my own personal hell.

He has the personality of man-child to go with the face. More accurately, he probably has closer to the personality of a toddler when things don't go his way. I think he is a really good driver and he is obviously very highly skilled. It's just that when you get to the point of, drat that mother fucker can handle a race car I think I like him, he'll throw a loving mega meltdown tantrum because he came in 3rd in a truck race and drive his truck through another teams pit crew or some other childish bullshit. If you follow hockey he is basically the Brad Marchand of NASCAR. Just when you think he might start acting like an adult he starts licking people's necks.

On the bright side there are other guys out there that can wheel a car and don't seem like total dicks, like Kyle Larson or Ryan Blaney, that should be fun to watch for the next decade at least.

There was a trucks race where he was 2 wide on the outside with Ron Hornaday. They both passed a slower truck and the two contacted and brought out a caution, though both trucks really weren't damaged.

Kyle immediately drove right up behind Hornaday and punted him head on into a wall.

In a trucks race.

When he was a full time cup level driver.

The other cup drivers that run Nationwide treat it as the cost of getting extra practice laps for sunday, Kyle actually cares about winning which is imo what's so unforgivable

Caring about winning is ok is fine.

Caring about winning to the point where you're trying to kill someone when the field is under caution is not ok.

I just finished listening to Dale Jr's podcast with Kyle Busch and he was actually surprisingly fun on it.

Dale also wants to run the Richmond Xfinity race where he's the in race reporter only he's hot mic'd and can talk to them under green. That's also fun.

trucks is the third highest and was the lowest NASCAR series to tour nationally (now I guess its technically ARCA), next up is busch/nationwide/xfinity, and finally cup is highest

generally trucks is where a lot of the more regional guys get their national start before moving up Xfinity or straight to Cup, but there's also dudes who couldn't hack it higher and race in the series

so really the talent tends to be very developmental in a lot of regards, so there is an argument that higher tier talent racing in there is a good thing, its just that Kyle is a rageaholic manchild that makes him a great racer, but also a completely and utter despicable dickhole that probably shouldn't be racing down there because of his blood pressure

Adding to explodedmummy's post, if you're a hockey fan, the comparison might go something like this:
Cup=NHL
Xfinity=AHL (mix of up-and-comers and washed up guys, with the unfortunate catch of a scourge of NHL regulars frequently dropping into games and preventing young players ice time.)
Trucks=Something between AHL and ECHL.
ARCA=ECHL with a hint of beer league.
K&N East, West, Whelen Mods=CHL (OHL, WHL, the Q)

Yeah, except now imagine dropping to the AHL would pad your stats so you do it every week just to be a loving prick while making millions but choosing to poo poo all over guys who are barely making a living and if they're doing better or embarrassing him he goes full Domi and tries to end their career/life.

A well informed source says they handle "like a video game". You control them by playing with the throttle. The cars you have to use the brakes and are a lot more on edge.
