$65,000,000 worth NASCAR star riffs on Kyle Busch's 'Something about Mary' hair moment during hilarious Pat McAfee show appearance

$65 million worth NASCAR superstar Denny Hamlin took a dig at former champion Kyle Busch's hairstyle during the latter's recent appearance at The Pat McAfee Show. Hamlin's net worth is $65 million as per Celebrity Net Worth.

Two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch recently made an appearance on ESPN's fan-favorite podcast, The Pat McAfee Show. Hosted by sports analyst and WWE commentator Pat McAfee, Busch and the podcast crew had a quirky 25 minute discussion about various aspects of the sport.

While there were many key takeaways from Busch's appearance on the podcast, including his views on Formula 1, his Mount Rushmore in NASCAR and other tidbits about the sport, what appealed to Denny Hamlin the most was his former teammate's hairstyle.

Denny Hamlin, who recently won the NASCAR Cup Series Food City 500 race at Bristol Motor Speedway, took to his Actions Detrimental podcast to react to Kyle Busch's appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. Hamlin, a former long-time teammate of the Richard Childress Racing driver, drew a hilarious comparison between Kyle Busch's hairstyle and the movie character "Mary Jensen" from the romcom movie of the 90s, "There's Something About Mary."

Speaking to his co-host Jared Allen, Denny Hamlin said:

"Shout out to Kyle (Busch). That 20 minutes he did with Pat McAfee this week was very funny. You know what I thought was funnier his hair. He kind of had a 'Something About Mary' hair. You know when she put the hair gel in? Yeah, I had some of those vibes."

It cannot be denied that Denny Hamlin's observations, while hilarious, seem to be pretty accurate.

Hamlin added:

"It was a bad angle. The camera was too low for Kyle. (Though) I thought Kyle did a great job on representing the NASCAR brand."
