Last week Kyle Busch was back in his hometown of Las Vegas to promote the upcoming NASCAR race weekend February 26-28 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He stopped by his old day job, HobbyTown USA, to race RC cars with local fans. There were photos and I felt compelled to post them. I also think it’s fun to know what kind of job Kyle used to have before he became a famous racecar driver.
