New year, a new team, and a new car. Kyle Busch is officially prepared to drive for Richard Childress Racing in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series. After a long uncertainty looming over the two-time Cup champion’s career, fans are more than excited to see their favorite driver start this new chapter in his career. But wait. Why aren’t the Busch fans happy about the new RCR car?

Recently, Richard Childress Racing unveiled the new look for Busch’s #8 car. Personally designed by Kyle Busch with the help of RCR, the car will mark a new era in the team and also Busch’s career. However, apparently, the fans do not approve of Busch’s new charter.
