Kyle Busch’s Hilarious Prank on Chase Elliott Has the NASCAR Community in Stitches

When you think of Kyle Busch, you think of punches thrown, fiery interviews, and Rowdy race wins. That’s what the driver has created for himself. He’s KFB. But fans know there’s a silly side to the driver, right? Think back to 2012 when the Gangnam style dance was breaking loose and Rowdy was pulling it off effortlessly.

Busch has been melting hearts with his “girl dad” moments, often sparked by his daughter Lennix’s larger-than-life personality. At home, she gave him a glittery makeover. In a viral Instagram video captioned, “Lennix’s makeup job really got me feelin myself.Sooo much fun.,” Lennix applied pink eyeshadow to Busch’s face, set to a Britney Spears tune. It’s clear Busch has a silly side to him, and it’s on full display this weekend.

The All-Star weekend in NASCAR is always a special time. It’s a chance for fans to see the human side of these high-speed heroes—whether they’re joking around, bonding with their families, or pulling pranks on each other. This year, the spotlight was on Kyle Busch, a driver known for his competitive edge but also his playful side with NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver, Chase Elliott.

Elliott, often seen as the more reserved driver, has a different kind of reputation in NASCAR. He’s one of the most popular Cup Series drivers on social media, with millions of followers who admire his calm demeanor and racing talent. But his personality off the track can come across as understated. Earlier this year, in a fun interview, Elliott named Kyle Larson as his “bromance partner” but was also curious for a “double Kyle team-up” with Busch, showing he’s open to fun but often keeps it low-key. This contrast with Busch’s outgoing nature made the prank even more entertaining—Busch’s mischief met Elliott’s quiet charm in the most unexpected way.

But the real highlight of this All-Star weekend came when Busch pulled off a hilarious prank on Chase Elliott. In a video shared by NASCAR on X, Chase Elliott was giving a serious interview, and in came Rowdy, turning the atmosphere a little lighter when he video-bombed while making hilarious faces in front of the official broadcasting camera, which was capturing Elliott’s interview. Busch couldn’t hold back his laughter, clearly enjoying the moment. The interaction quickly went viral, with fans loving the unexpected exchange between the “golden boy” and the favourite driver of Rowdy Nation.

It’s the first Rowdy has pranked Elliott. His daughter Lennix and wife Samantha know the MPD better after, in another hilarious incident, Lennix, with unwavering confidence, approached Elliott, declared him her “boyfriend,” and demanded a Frozen movie date. “Can I have a movie date with you?” she asked. Samantha’s video amplified the moment, with Lennix saying, “Chase Elliott!” as her boyfriend, casually adding, “Yeah,” when asked if he knew her plans. Elliott later chuckled in an interview, “I was made aware of that…And yeah, I guess we’re going to see Elsa. So, here we go—try getting that Frozen song out of your head!” Lennix’s charm, seen in moments like praying at Phoenix or her makeup sessions, made the prank unforgettable. Elliott didn’t seem to mind the attention.

Busch’s playful side isn’t limited to his daughter. He’s known for his off-track antics with other drivers, often bringing a bit of mischief to the NASCAR garage. He once shared a story about a wild bet with Denny Hamlin in New York City, where they pushed each other to their limits over pennies. “It got crazy real quick. It stunk so bad… we come back to the room and it’s like, ‘What is that smell?” Busch recalled, laughing.

Another time, he had a hilarious collaboration with Brad Keselowski in a Back to the Future-inspired announcement video by NASCAR. These moments show Busch’s ability to keep things light, even in a sport as intense as NASCAR.

The NASCAR community couldn’t get enough of this moment, and fans quickly took to social media to share their reactions.

NASCAR fans are having a ball seeing the goofy side of their favorite drivers

One fan wrote, “Glad to see the drivers enjoying themselves! Even if it’s just in a joking way like this.” It’s true—All-Star weekend brings out a lighter side of the sport, and seeing drivers like Busch and Elliott share a laugh reminds us why these events are so special. The playful dynamic between the two, with Lennix being the occasional star among them, was a perfect example of the camaraderie that defines NASCAR off the track. One fan captured the spirit of the weekend perfectly, saying, “What I love about Allstar weekend. Everyone is a little less serious.” All-Star weekend is a break from the norm, a time for drivers to let their guards down. Busch’s prank, with Lennix stealing the show, was a highlight that reminded everyone why these events are so cherished by the NASCAR community.

Another fan commented, “Classic Kyle Busch. Always finding a way to have fun with other drivers off track.” Busch’s reputation for mischief is well-earned, and this prank only added to his legacy of keeping things lively. Whether he’s joking with Keselowski in a hilarious announcement TV Spot, betting with Hamlin, or letting Lennix take the lead, Busch knows how to make everyone smile—even his rivals.

“Love me some KFB!” exclaimed another fan, referring to Busch by his nickname, “Kyle Freaking Busch.” Fans have always adored Busch’s personality, both on and off the track. His ability to balance being a fierce competitor with being a fun-loving dad and friend makes him a standout in the NASCAR world, and moments like this prank only deepen that connection.

Finally, a fan pointed out Elliott’s reaction, saying, “Chase is so boring lol the reaction to this could’ve been golden, yet golden boy just, ‘Oh, hey .’” Elliott’s understated response was classic Chase—calm and collected, even when faced with a 3-year-old’s movie date demand. While some fans wished for a bigger reaction, others found his simplicity endearing, making the moment even funnier when paired with Busch’s laughter in the background.

This lighthearted prank, with Lennix at the center, showed the best of NASCAR’s All-Star weekend. Kyle Busch’s playful spirit, Chase Elliott’s quiet charm, and the fans’ love for these moments remind us why the sport is about more than just racing—it’s about the people and the joy they share.
