“It’s Gonna Be Ugly” – Kyle Busch Makes Honest Admission Amidst Ongoing NASCAR Saga in the 2022 Playoffs

The two-time Cup Series Champion, Kyle Busch, is yet to confirm about his future with Richard Childress Racing in 2023. Amidst this contract saga, #18 driver is also struggling with better races in this season’s NASCAR Playoffs.

By finishing at the 26th place this Sunday and with one last race to go in the first round of playoffs, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is just a couple of points behind Austin Cindric for the final spot.

Kyle Busch post-race said, “Just had damage after going through the grass. Kind of ruined the rest of our day, but whatever happened on that pit stop set us backwards. To get us back in traffic there. Try to make adjustments to the car to make it faster. It did make it fast. But definitely made it looser.”

The interviewer also asked, “Considering your history at Bristol, do you feel good about being able to do what you need to do it to advance?”

To which #18 driver replied, “Not with the luck of this year, absolutely not. Nope. So I’ll go try hard and if what Bristol has always been to me occurs, I will be fine.”

“But with the way this year’s been if that occurs, it’s gonna be ugly.” said Busch in the end.
