It is not very often that the NASCAR world gets to see the goofy and funny side of two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch. Though this year has been quite different in that regard and fans are certainly getting to witness the not-so-grumpy side of Rowdy. He recently had a hilarious response while talking about his pre-race meal. 

There could be several reasons that have brought about this side of Rowdy. It may be his satisfaction from his recent record-breaking victory at Fontana or his active engagement on social media along with his wife Samantha. Whatever it may be, his fans are just thrilled to see him smile more often and have some fun.
