The NASCAR world woke up Tuesday morning to Kyle Busch’s declaration that he was returning to racing after recovering from a broken right leg and fractured left foot. The Michael Jordan-esque announcement of “I’m back” came with its own hashtag, #RowdyReturns
I'm back. #RowdyReturnshttps://t.co/gWCs00aH4p

Fans and drivers used social media to show their support for Busch, who will return to Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 18 Toyota Saturday in the All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Impressive to have @KyleBusch return to racing this soon after what he went through. Welcome back.
