Kyle Busch says he supports wearing a mask in public so “we all can take care of our neighbour” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kyle Busch says he supports wearing a mask in public so “we all can take care of our neighbour” amid the coronavirus pandemic, a rare instance of the two-time NASCAR champion wading into a social issue.
The responses were mixed, not unexpected when it comes to the most polarizing driver in NASCAR. Busch is beloved by his “Rowdy Nation” base but loathed by others for his overwhelming success and confident, sometimes confrontational manner. Busch added he doesn’t think masks can fully stop the spread of the coronavirus but believes they are useful when social distancing can’t be practiced. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the use of cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
Everyone permitted to attend a race is on a pre-approved list and must pass through a health screening area before they can enter the venue. Masks must be worn starting at the health screening area, and NASCAR has said anyone not following guidelines is subject to a $50,000 fine and removal from the property.
