Like any other professional athlete, NASCARdrivers start pretty young in their lives. With several professional starter series around, the hoping to make it big earn their racing licenses early and get going. However, hardly any of them would have started as early as Kyle Busch did.
He may have officially gotten the keys to his parents’ car at 16 and made his Truck Series debut in the same year. But Busch got behind the wheel of a real car long before that- over a decade before.
Kyle Busch Talks About a Childhood Secret That Remained in the Dark for 25 Years
As children, we all do stuff that we try to keep from our parents. While most of us fail, some succeed, and Busch belongs in the second category. The now 39-year-old once did something his elder brother thought he would get in major trouble for, but no one ever found out.
Appearing as guests on the latest episode of “Something’s Burning,” with host Bert Kreischer, Kyle and Samantha Busch discussed a variety of topics, when Rowdy revisited a fascinating story from his childhood.
With his parents out on a date night, Kyle was staying over at his Grandmother’s place with his elder brother Kurt, who is seven years older than him.
The Busch family lived on a two-block-long cul-de-sac, and it was getting late in the night when Kurt was out playing with his friends. Grandma asked Kyle to go get his brother, as it was almost bedtime, and a 5-year-old Busch spotted a glorious opportunity.
He quietly ‘borrowed’ the keys to his parents’ 1970 VW Beetle and drove it to where his brother was playing. Barely able to see over the steering, he pulled the window down and told his brother to come back home as instructed by Grandma.
Kurt, in turn, replied, “You’re gonna be in so much trouble.” However, the young driver was unfazed as he turned the car around all by himself and drove it back to the garage, parking it exactly as he found it.
