As the 2022 season wraps up finally, Kyle Busch Motorsports announced that they would have a veteran crew chief from the Cup Series move into the Truck Series with the KBM team. Given that the entire lineup for KBM has changed for 2023, bringing in a veteran crew chief just makes perfect sense for the team as they will be fighting for the win again next season.

Kyle Busch commented on Pattie and stated that he thought the crew chief was one of the “smartest” and “hard-working” people working in the NASCAR Cup Series with Chevy cars.

Soon after the announcement, Brain Pattie stated, “As a racer, your ultimate goal is to be in a position where you can win races and the opportunity to work with Kyle and the other drivers on the No. 51 truck is one that I just couldn’t turn down.”

NASCAR fans react to KBM’s crew chief announcement post

Instead of being excited over the fact that such a legendary crew chief would be heading towards KBM, fans instead took note of the picture used on the post. They argued that using a picture of a Toyota was misleading since KBM would now be using Chevrolet trucks instead of Toyota trucks.

Well, the reason why they would not have used a Chevy truck’s picture is pretty simple, KBM hasn’t yet launched the truck yet, they have only confirmed the same till now.
