Kyle Busch Throws Spire Motorsports Under the Bus After Darlington Misery Draws Fans Ire

Could it be that Kyle Busch’s Cup misfortunes are leaking into the truck series as well? Well, since he found no respite in the next gen car, the truck races had been Rowdy’s sole motivation. So far this season, he’s raced in five truck events and has already notched wins in Atlanta and Texas.

However, frustration kicked in when he had to bow out just 15 laps into the latest race due to two crashes. Post-race, Busch wasn’t looking to shoulder the blame himself. In his interview with Bob Pockrass, he subtly pointed the finger at his team, making it clear where he thought the responsibility lay. 

Kyle Busch believed there was no reason to go back

Kyle Busch’s last Craftsman Truck Series race of 2024 definitely didn’t pan out as hoped. Starting off strong, Busch had secured the P4 spot in the lineup but ran into trouble while battling Corey Heim on the second lap. He lost control coming out of turn two, which sent his truck spinning into the inside wall. Then, after limping to the pit road, Busch’s crew hustled to patch things up, costing him four laps in the process.

But the trouble didn’t stop there. Shortly after the race resumed, a blown right front tire sent him slamming into the outside wall as he entered turn three. That hit sealed the deal—his truck was done for the day, and he had to park it in the garage after just six laps. The DNF marked only the third time in his 1,230 race career across all NASCAR National Series that he didn’t make it past ten laps, and it was his first early exit in the Truck Series since a race at Pocono back in 2017.

When asked about the wreck, Kyle Busch seemed puzzled about the events on the track. He wasn’t sure how close Corey Heim’s truck had been to his. However, he expressed confusion about his team’s decision to send him back out after falling four laps behind. “The truck was wrecked there was no reason why it should have been back out on the racetrack,“ he said. It seems Kyle Busch didn’t even want to be out there after the first incident, and it was likely his Spire crew chief who made the call to continue. 

It turned out to be a rough night for Busch at Darlington, capped off by a frustrating finish. And while this race was definitely set to be his final truck race of the year, he’s feeling uncertain about his upcoming cup races, based on what he shared during the pre-race media session.

Meanwhile, fans believe that it was Busch’s fault and he seems to have drawn ire from all sides.

It seems fans are not liking the new whining Kyle Busch, who has been blaming it on the team for his second wreck. Obviously, he has not been able to perform well in the Cup races, and then he comes and gets wrecked in the Truck race as well, which is bound to not sit well with the fans.

While some called Busch old enough to “Retire” another fan stated that he has a “Lack of talent. Haha.” One fan simply was curious about why he gets spun so much, “That’s what many of his rides do. Why is he prone to spin in Quals, particularly?”

A fan directly called him out for racing in the Truck series overall, “Shouldn’t even be racing in the trucks anyways.” NASCAR enthusiasts also claimed that he has lost that touch, saying “This guy has lost a couple steps” and “Ran out of talent,” while one went way ahead to say that Busch is a “🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 cry baby! Blame everyone else for your downfalls. Be a man and accept ownership of your mistakes.”

Well, what do you think about the two wrecks? Was it a bad idea for Busch to call out his team?
