Kyle Busch talked about the ‘unfair’ penalty

Kyle said, “I guess some rules were changed over the offseason and the truck we ran tonight I think we ran here at Homestead last year and they just put it off to the side, knowing I’d be in it in March and now it’s June”

He added, “It never made its way to the fab shop for some updates or to have some bars cut out due to NASCAR changing the rules. We missed it, came down here with that bar in there, and I guess they wanted to prove a point.”

Kyle said that NASCAR gave a harsher penalty to him just to prove a point. He said, “So we had a big penalty, bigger probably than there would have been if there was another driver in the truck, so we’ll take it and move on. We kicked everybody’s ass anyway.”
