I think that was my favorite costume as a kid. I was Michelangelo and I even had the fake nunchuck. One year I was a football player and, one year, I even dressed up as Jeff Gordon since he was my favorite racecar driver when I was kid." — Kyle Busch, who will have a special Halloween paint scheme Sunday, talking about his favorite Halloween costume
