WATCH: Kyle Busch bizarrely wrecks under caution at New Hampshire
The nightmares of 2024 season continued for Kyle Busch at New Hampshire. Since a massive performance slump at the mid-way to the 2023 season, the veteran driver and Richard Childress racing hasn’t recovered from it. This season they have shown promises in multiple races only to get caught in someone else’s mess and when they don’t have good car, the No:8 has been terrible.
On this Sundays USA Today 301, it was the latter story that played out as Kyle Busch was part of multiple incidents and eventually ended up DNFing. Earlier in stage three Busch, who was still on the lead lap, was getting ready to restart the race which was under caution. Toe everyone’s surprise he ended up spinning out and hitting the wall, after some issues with the car.
Oh man… @KyleBusch is done for the day after crashing under caution.
Looks like it just snapped loose on him entering Turn 3.
What an awful stretch for the 2-time Champion.#NASCAR pic.twitter.com/EXFlekxBPC

He revealed that the team will evaluate the No:8 Chevy back at the RCR race shot to identify what actually went wrong.
We worked our way back into the lead lap and thought we could pick up a few more spots but unfortunately, we hit the wall under caution on wets just before coming back to green after the rain delay and weren’t able to finish. We’ll take the FICO Chevy back to the shop to evaluate what happened and how we can improve on our New Hampshire package.Kyle Busch said via NBC.
Kyle Busch is proud of his team despite bad results
The RCR driver before talking about the clash pointed out that he is proud pf how his crew fought alongside him in the race and how they did a great job in making necessary adjustments. He reckons his crew chief Randall Burnett did a really good job to get the car ready for him in the qualifiers.
I’m proud of everyone at RCR and all the guys on the FICO team for their hard work this weekend. They did a great job making adjustments and repairs. We didn’t get to qualify on Saturday and had only five minutes of practice. The FICO Camaro was a handful in the race but Randall Burnett kept making changes.Kyle Busch said.
The veteran would be hoping that Randall Burnett would be able to give him a car worthy of a race win and capable to getting him a spot in the playoff. It would be interesting to see how the remaining races of the 2024 season would playout for Busch.
