At the Atlanta Motor Speedway, Kyle Busch endured a rough day in the office. Sometime during the race, he got caught up in a few incidents and he was furious. Among those incidents was a coming together with the #77 car of Landon Cassill. Judging by the #18 driver’s reaction, it could have been avoided if his rival’s spotter was more alert.

He raged on the radio, “Apparently when you run back here, the spotters don’t stay awake. I mean, what a f**king stupid, stupid thing”. At the time, Busch was battling with Cassill and Cody Ware. So these comments were probably aimed at Cassill’s spotter.

Already, his day was off to a horrid start when he got involved in a wreck between Ross Chastain and Martin Truex Jr. However, he was still able to continue racing without too much damage.

How did the rest of the race play out for Kyle Busch?

In the first wreck, Kyle Busch happened to tag Joey Logano, all the while Chastain spun Truex Jr. Finally, the ordeal was over and a battered and bruised Kyle Busch dragged the Joe Gibbs Racing car to 20th.

Admittedly, it was a disappointing result, especially since he felt that he had a chance to take the victory. Unfortunately, things did not quite go to plan for the #18 driver and his team.

Judging from the incident, Cassill most likely tagged Kyle Busch into a spin, and Cody Ware was an innocent victim. Apparently, there was some contact with Ware, and the #15 driver spun off a little while later. Cassill was classified in 24th while Cody Ware found himself one place ahead of the #77 driver.
