Thoughts on the woman who posted Kyle Busch’s DMs after his death?

These videos raise an interesting question. If they had surfaced while Kyle was still alive, do you think the reaction would’ve been different?

Obviously posting private DMs after someone’s death is controversial on its own. But it’s also hard to ignore that timing affects how people view these situations. People tend to be much more willing to criticize public figures when they’re alive than after they’re gone.

Personally, I don’t think these videos completely change who Kyle was. Part of what made him compelling was that he wasn’t a perfectly polished, media-trained personality. He was complicated, sometimes messy, and that’s true of most people.

Curious where everyone lands on it: fair game because they’re authentic, or something that should’ve stayed private?

NASCAR Needs Its Taylor Swift Moment

The NFL got its Taylor Swift moment with Travis Kelce. Suddenly people who couldn’t name a single player were watching games, buying jerseys, and following football news.

NASCAR needs its version of that.

Imagine William Byron dating Sabrina Carpenter. Or Chase Elliott showing up with someone like Alix Earle. Even a relationship with a major TikTok creator, influencer, actress, musician, or podcaster would put NASCAR in front of millions of people who otherwise never think about racing.

The younger generation doesn’t discover sports the same way anymore. They follow personalities first and sports second.

A single high-profile celebrity relationship would probably bring more attention to NASCAR than most of the marketing campaigns we’ve seen in the last decade.
