Talking about the fights off-track, Kyle used to be a regular goer in Social Media fights. However, a ban in 2020 made the racing driver lose all his interest. The ban affected the driver as it was based on a racial slur. Despite the ban, Kyle now enjoys the fights he sees on social media among fans. It doesn’t matter to him if Chase’s fan criticizes him because he got his fans to take care of the situation.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver conveyed, “A good lesson from 2020 is just to not look at the hate mail and not let it get to you. So when I assume there’s going to be hate mail coming, I just don’t go on. That lets you move on from things quickly. “

“But the majority of stuff is positive, other than when you get into Chase Elliott. I looked at it a little bit. My fans are very passionate, too, so it was fun to see a little banter back and forth.”, the 29-year-driver further stated.
