The 2024 NASCAR season has been dull for Kyle Busch. So far, the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion did not have any luck this season. However, spectators have been rooting for him despite the underwhelming season. But Rowdy is running out of opportunities in 2024 as he’s at the 18th position and there are just four more races before the playoffs begin.
With a little ray of luck shining on Kyle Busch through his Olympic prediction, fans are again filled with hope for the driver. Does Kyle Busch still know speed as he used to?

As the Olympics fever is running high worldwide, everyone is pitching in with their own set of predictions and affiliations. And the NASCAR fraternity is no different in that respect. And with the common thread of athleticism between racing tracks and race tracks, NASCAR drivers can more empathetically relate to the runners.
There is one runner that has been making headlines in the Olympics, and that is Noah Lyles. He just won the gold medal in men’s 100m in the Olympics. And this feat registered by Noah Lyles could be a fate-changing occasion for Kyle Busch as well.
Kyle Busch wished Noah Lyles good luck before the race and wholeheartedly aspired for the runner to win. NASCAR posted a video on X wherein Kyle said, “From one guy who knows speed to another. I’m wishing Noah Lyles from men’s track and field the best of luck. Go get ‘em over there in Paris.” Kyle’s conviction for Noah could be gauged from his shout-out after the fastest man’s 100m photo finish.
The #8 driver again took to X to congratulate the young man for his marvelous achievement by writing, “Seems this aged well!! Great race @LylesNoah“

Zero race wins this season must have been too difficult for the driver who holds the record for the highest race wins in NASCAR in various categories. Except for this disappointing ongoing season with Richard Childress Racing, Kyle Busch has won races in each of the 19 years he has competed in the series. Many fans took this opportunity to connect the dots with Kyle’s NASCAR performance, suggesting that the driver’s luck may just have sparked.
