Talking about William, Kyle conveyed, “William and I are still good, wouldn’t say friends but you know we talk. Last week actually we were talking because he is working with and driving some super late model stuff that I used to do, so we chatted about that and we’ve chatted before he’s helped support the bundle of joy fund over the years, him and his dad, his family, his mom as well. So you know they’ve been a great ally to have and working with over the years that I did.”

“I still blame him for stealing Rudy Fugle from Kyle Busch Motorsports who’s now his crew chief. So I’m pissed off about that but he’s a good kid so he deserves a chance and he’s making most of that chance right now. He’s doing a good job.”, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver further stated.
