Kyle Petty has been long known as the king of hot takes, primarily known for his shots on Bubba Wallace. But this time around, he took a stance that aligns with the fans’ perspective as Ty Gibbs seems to have proven himself as a worthy successor for Kyle Busch’s throne at Joe Gibbs Racing when he took out his own teammate to win.

But of course, in typical Kyle Petty fashion, his stance is pretty strong.

Recently, the former NASCAR driver was talking about everything that happened at Martinsville at the Backseat Drivers show. Of course, one of the main topics of conversation was Gibbs taking out his teammate Brandon Jones at the very last lap, which put him bang in the middle of the fans’ crosshairs.

But the NASCAR veteran believes his perception in the garage itself wouldn’t change much because, “I think Ty Gibbs has proven that he’s arrogant, entitled, thinks that he can just go in and take things when they’re not his and do it the wrong way.”, “we’ve seen people move people a thousand times. He didn’t move this guy (Brandon Jones), he wrecked him in the middle of the straight,”

He also said, “It’s a punk move sorry it was a punk move, sorry, it was a punk move spinning his teammate,”

There is a good reason why the fans labeled him ‘the god of hot takes’. He had something to say when Wallace wrecked Kyle Larson, too.

Although NASCAR took Bubba out for one race, Petty felt that was just far too low of a penalty for his actions.

He said, He should have been suspended for the rest of the year. Rest of the year,”

But Petty didn’t stop there, he took a shot as his values as Hamlin’s driver, “He drives for Denny Hamlin, who has been vocal about safety. His teammate (Kurt Busch), the only reason he’s in the 45 car is his teammate’s career was all but ended because of an accident in this car that the drivers have vocalized that it needs to be safer. He turns a guy in the right rear into the outside wall intentionally. Steering brake? That’s laughable.”
