There is no question about Busch’s popularity among the community. His Talladega run is a testament to his talent behind and the massive fanbase the driver caters to. While his latest sponsor suffered a measly fall as Busch’s ardent fans crashed their website within hours of his win.

With such passionate fans backing the driver, things are never easily said and done. Richard Childress Racing had to find out that the hard way. With 2 wins off this season, Busch is currently in the 11th place in the points table. While the race is back to the NWB short track, RCR’s weakness cost the driver valuable race position.

Stuck in 10th out of 10 cars for most of that race was pretty bad. Getting up to 7th must have been a challenge from what I saw.”

Yeah, because the set up on the car was way off not competitive at all.”

Fans bashed the team unmercifully,

I don’t blame him, car RCR brought him is absolute junk that drove like a dump truck all throughout the heat and his crew yesterday jumping over the wall too soon didn’t help at all”
