During the race at Richmond, Kyle Busch received a little bump from Ty Gibbs before the latter overtook the 60-time Cup race winner. Later on, NASCAR spotters discussed and gave credit to Ty Gibbs for moving his JGR senior, Kyle Busch, out of the way at Richmond Raceway.

During the podcast, Brett Griffin said, “We see guys get moved all the time they don’t do anything. This guy just got here and he’s already like screw you, you ain’t gonna got me. I appreciate that.”

Then Freddie Kraft said, “I just laughed, even when they were side by side, they were like, I was literally gonna say something to Bubba like do you think he’s mad yet.”

TJ Majors interjected and said, “Does he race others like that as well?”

Brett Griffin swiftly responded, “no not like he did Kyle.”

Gibbs is just 19 years old at this point in time. Apart from having a stellar career in the Xfinity Series, he has also proved that he has got what it takes to be with the big boys in the cup series, all within his four appearances.

Ty Gibbs was invited to Dale Earnhardt Jr’s podcast to talk about a variety of things regarding his career both in Xfinity and his appearances replacing Kurt Busch. During the interview, Gibbs told Junior that Busch had some interesting advice for him.

When being asked if the 19-year-old had flipped someone yet, Gibbs responded, “Yes, I learned that, Kyle told me not to do that anymore.”

To which Junior responded with, “Kyle who?” Before Ty said, “Busch. I was on live TV. It was at Martinsville.” Junior then interjects and asks if Busch ever told him that he has previously flipped other people too.

Gibbs said, “Uh, no.” Earnhardt Jr promptly added, “He’s a bit of a hypocrite, I guess.”
