As per Heavy on NASCAR’s Facebook post, Stenhouse Jr said, “Obviously you’re going to have haters everywhere. And when you have somebody at the time like Kyle Busch getting out and bashing you, that’s difficult to overcome.

What did Kyle Busch say about Ricky Stenhouse Jr?

Busch was visibly furious after the end of the race. Initially, he was not even aware of who had won the race. But that was because he was taken to the infield care center following his unfortunate involvement in an uncontrolled wreck.

Later on, he asked who got lucky with the win and was informed that it was Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Rowdy was in no mood to congratulate his rival at that time, and decided to throw shade on Stenhouse and said, “there you have it.” This was kind of upsetting to hear from the veteran since it was a hard-fought win for Stenhouse Jr.
