Two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch shared a lovable photo of his dog Piper on social media. Busch, who is a dog lover, considers Piper a part of his family.
While sharing a photo on Twitter, Busch wrote:
“Piper is my copilot”
After sharing the heartwarming photo, many fans reacted in the comment section. One fan tweeted:
“Awesome! Wish our dogs were that sweet but they are chihuahuas…”
Another fan tweeted:
“You are my hero- not only are you my favorite driver, you have a Chessie dog! I had my chessie for 18 years and loved her to pieces. Her name was Chesapeake but we called her chessie. Yours is beautiful!”.
Driving the No. 18 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing, Busch finished sixth in Sunday's Daytona 500.
The 36-year-old is looking forward to Sunday’s event. With four wins, the last coming in 2019, he is the only active driver with more than one victory at Fontana. On returning to California, Busch said:
“I love going out to California; it’s a driver’s track, and it’s aged over time… You can run all over it. Typically, recently you run up around the wall in the turns, but you can still move around a bit. I hope the Next Gen car will also allow us to move around and be pretty racy.”
