Kyle Busch’s Concerns Become a Reality as the Entire Race Gets Stopped; Chicago Track Faces Backlash From Fans

The Xfinity Series of NASCAR in the inaugural race at Chicago is already underway zooming past the green oasis of the metropolitan city. The Xfinity Series race shall act as the practice test for the Cup Series, whose drivers shall be given only 50 mins ahead of the race to familiarize themselves with the track before they rev their engines up for the actual sprint.

But it seems that the Xfinity Series has already undergone serious issues on track during their main event reinforcing the apprehensions that the Cup Series drivers had put forward ahead of the scheduled race. Bob Pockrass took to Twitter to update the audience about the hiccup.

Kyle Busch’s prophecy comes true on the tracks of Chicago

The drivers of both the Cup Series and the Xfinity Series had braced themselves to expect the unexpected on the tracks of Chicago. A sense of foreboding and a thought of some impending threat on the street track has haunted the drivers for the last few months. The drivers have been vocal about their apprehensions and how the right-angle corners pose a serious threat to the drivers.

Among the most outspoken drivers vocalizing their perturbation was Richard Childress Racing’s Kyle Busch. In an interview, the 2x Cup Series had lashed out about the daunting track conditions. He had exclaimed after testing the track on iRacing, “It’s really rough. It’s bumpy. It’s slippery. There’s some corners that are very challenging.. some blind ones at that.”

He had continued on the same lines to the open media, “When you’re going around the Bean on the left-hander, that’s really, really slippery and there’s a huge bump going through (turn) nine before you get into (turn) 10. The wall in (turn) eight before you go around the left-hander is, to me, really narrow over there.”

Kyle Busch’s concerns about the Chicago race as a survival race are surely coming true on Saturday in the Xfinity race. The race was halted after the yellow flag was swung out due to debris on the track. The veteran NASCAR journalist from FOX reported on Twitter, “Caution for debris. …. a battery on the track?”

While further updates are still awaited on the conditions of the track, it seems that fans had already got a sniff of the problems that the drivers could face, given the active advocacy by the veterans.

Many took to the comment section under Bob Pockrass’ post to show their displeasure about the ongoing race.

A few commented, “I’m so not surprised.”

“Good thing no one hit that.”

“Them fences look short, get them tires tight tomorrow boys don’t wanna punt a tire to soilder field.”

While others also wrote, “Brett Griffin probably : “somebody got battered on the track? See, I told you Chicago was a bad idea”

“On the street?”

The Xfinity series will surely be an eye-opener for senior drivers in the higher format. They are sure to take notes on how to approach the tricky and narrow lanes of the track. But the question that still looms is whether the venture would see the success of the day or will it turn out to be the biggest nightmare for both; drivers and the authority alike.
