Martin Truex Jr. took the big win in the first race of 2023. But he got a bigger greeting from Kyle Busch, who went the extra mile to say hello to his little friends down there, too. And the fans just couldn’t hold their laughter back.

The biggest story ever since Busch made his big switch to RCR has been just how happy he looks. Especially at the Los Angeles Coliseum, the fans were pointing out how relaxed he looked, and that really reflected because he overcame even being spun out. But the funniest story came after the race when he went to greet the race winner after the race ended.

Busch took the podium, the first time NASCAR tried a podium celebration. Yet, the star of the show was undoubtedly Truex Jr. who was standing at the top in the first race this season. The two-time champ used his hands to show really how happy he was for his former teammate at JGR.

And the fans just couldn’t stop laughing.

This has to be up there in one of NASCAR’s funniest moments. It’s great to see Busch still being friends with his former teammates at JGR.

He further talked to Motorsport.com about how different last year was to this Sunday’s race, “Some bumping, some banging, but we could run long stretches of green-flag action, where today was I would call it a disaster with the disrespect from everybody of just driving through each other and not just letting everything kind of work its way out,”
