Kyle Busch has had a tumultuous year this Cup Series season. First, he left Joe Gibbs Racing and signed his new contract with Richard Childress Racing. And next, he failed to qualify for the Round of 12, owing to faulty engines and some other technical issues.

And now, Bubba Wallace’s spotter Freddie Kraft has some strong opinions about him and his future with Richard Childress Racing. In a recent episode of his podcast, Door Bumper Clear, Kraft revealed that he feels that Kyle Busch has a tendency to quit whenever he doesn’t get what he wants.

During the podcast, veteran NASCAR spotter Brett Griffin discussed the issue of RCR and Tyler Reddick. After signing in Busch, RCR decided to give Reddick’s charter to Busch and have announced their plans of acquiring a third charter for Reddick in the 2023 season. This is because the #8 is one of the best cars that RCR runs currently.

However, as compared to Kyle Busch’s #18 at the Joe Gibbs Racing, the #8 would not be an easy ride for Busch. While talking about the privilege Busch has had over the years Freddie Kraft said; “Kyle Busch has never really had to do more with less. He has always been in the best sh*t in the garage.”

Although the co-host of the podcast, TJ Majors didn’t agree with Kraft. Instead, he pointed out; “That’s wrong. You’re wrong. When he started his Xfinity team?” But to Kraft’s rescue, Brett Griffin interjected. He asked Majors “But how long did that last?”

Glad that Griffin gets his point, Kraft continued; “That’s what I am saying. The second he didn’t have what he felt like he needed, he quit.” Further he explained that Busch has always been with the best teams in the sport. May it be JGR or Hendrick Motorsports.
