Kyle Busch: The fans hate me but I don't care

Kyle Busch may not have won the Sprint Cup, but NASCAR's best racer is the man the fans love to hate, as Charles Bradley explains

Kyle Busch wouldn't have a prayer if real life was a popularity contest like the X-Factor. He is undoubtedly the most despised driver in the eyes of NASCAR fans, yet he's also the genre's pound-for-pound quickest racer. As the Americans like to say when faced with a paradox, go figure.

He didn't win any of this year's major league stock car titles (at one point, however, he led all three, which was a first) but his amazing 21 wins across the three categories - Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Trucks - puts him in a league of his own.
