This season, Ross Chastain has arguably made a nuisance of himself on multiple occasions. He might not be receiving many Christmas cards from his rivals for the same. Recently, Kyle Busch spoke about the Trackhouse Racing driver, among other subjects. It is safe to say that Busch left the room in splits and Chastain wasn’t spared.

He said, “Absolutely, yes you do. You need give and take to win a championship. Will he (Ross Chastain) get benefit of the doubt in situations, when it comes to time on the line until the end of the Playoffs going into Phoenix? Absolutely not. No way, no chance.”

“I don’t think people are paying him back yet. It’s cause they’re waiting for the right time.”
What else did Kyle Busch say ahead of the Daytona race?
The #18 driver was in excellent form in the press conference, eliciting plenty of guffaws. Busch observed that his teammate Denny Hamlin often got very tight in the car.
Kyle Busch also spoke about when he was in contention for a race win, but a ‘piece of tape’ killed his chances of a win. This was obviously a reference to his disqualification because officials found some tape on his car.

He then put on his best ‘Gladiator’ impression by asking if the media were entertained. Then, he quipped that if they came back in an hour, he may have new material for them. However, nothing could really top how he started the press conference. Knowing that everyone is waiting with bated breath for an update on his future, he pranked everyone.
Busch simply said, “I have an announcement. There is no announcement”. This also highly amused the media personnel present. Though on a more series note, the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing driver needs to confirm his 2023 plans.
