Americans love their sports, and even their sports stars are not immune to this. There have been many athletes who have expressed interest in other sports. NASCAR driver Kyle Busch is one of them, and he is particularly fond of the NFL.

As it turns out, Busch is a big fan of the Denver Broncos team. The new Richard Childress Racing driver has been a lifelong Broncos fan and has often been spotted wearing a custom-made jersey at a few games.

During the last match against the Carolina Panthers, Busch and his family were spotted at the game once again.

However, the big difference was that he, his wife Samantha, and his son Brexton, appeared to be batting for the other side. What was probably a bigger betrayal was the fact that they were all wearing Panthers’ paraphernalia.

Naturally, there were various responses questioning Busch’s loyalty.

One confused fan wrote, “Thought Kyle liked the Broncos”, and another fan pondered, “Thought Kyle was a Broncos fan? Hmmm”. Other responses read, “Did Kyle trade the Broncos in for the Panthers?”, and “So Kyle is officially no longer a broncos fan”.

Kyle Busch probably wanted to back the winning side, because the Panthers triumphed 23-10.

Apparently, quarterback Sam Darnold was the star of the show, and he helped guide his team to victory.

Of course, Kyle Busch and his family will be happy to see the Panthers win. However, he may have to face the wrath of Broncos fans for turning traitor and not supporting his long-time team. At least the driver and his family are enjoying some downtime after a grueling 2022 season.

Beyond that, the NASCAR season begins afresh in 2023, this time with Busch in new colors.
