“Why in the Hell Is Busch Allowed”- Kyle Busch Flirts With His First Winless Season Leaving Fans in Questioning

In a strategic shift aimed at leveling the playing field, NASCAR’s governing body has implemented a series of changes in rules over recent years. These adjustments specifically target upper-tier drivers participating in the Xfinity Series and Truck Series.

What prompted this decision?

The governing body took notice that the majority of rounds in what is now known as the Xfinity Series were being dominated by full-time Cup drivers. Starting in 2020, NASCAR imposed limitations on seasoned Cup Series drivers, who now find their participation in lower-tier series restricted. Those with more than 3 years of experience in the Cup Series are allowed to compete in only up to 5 Xfinity races. Additionally, Cup drivers are barred from participating in the season finale and playoffs. This leads us to a recent development that has raised eyebrows.

High stakes and head-scratching on Kyle Busch’s lower-tier appearance

This weekend promises to be a memorable one for NASCAR fans as racing icon Kyle Busch slides into the driver’s seat of the No. 10 car for Kaulig Racing in the upcoming Xfinity Series race at Darlington Raceway. While the stakes are undoubtedly high for Busch, his surprise appearance in the lower-tier series has left fans scratching their heads.

After announcing his retirement from the Xfinity Series following the 2021 season, many thought they had seen the last of Kyle Busch in an Xfinity car back in the day. But the departure seemed not to have marked the end for Rowdy.

In a recent tweet by a popular USA Today Sports NASCAR writer Austin Konenski, she wrote, “Kyle Busch will drive the No. 10 car for Kaulig Racing in this weekend’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Darlington Raceway. If Busch doesn’t win, it will be his first winless season in the Xfinity Series since 2012 (excluding 2022 after “retiring” from Xfinity).”

Even though many fans reacted in a not-so-normal manner, calling out Busch for his racing limits as well as his decision to move to a lower series during the playoffs from the Cup Series, others wanted Rowdy to run Bristol too.

Yet, in a surprising turn of events, the 38-year-old has decided to make his comeback, launching his journey of redemption right from his hometown of Las Vegas.

Fan reactions have been mixed since the announcement. While some fans voiced their support, rooting for a Busch victory, others were buzzing with excitement at the prospect of a Kyle versus Kyle showdown, as Kyle Larson is also set to race in the #17 HMS car.

However, not everyone was thrilled. One fan pointedly questioned Busch’s eligibility: “I thought he reached his 5 race limit?”

In fact, this would mark his fourth entry of the Xfinity season.

Another fan inquired, “Why in the hell is Busch allowed to take points away from the xfinity drivers who are trying to win a championship” Another question posed, “I didn’t thing Cup drivers could move into lower series during the playoffs?”

In response, one person clarified, “Cup drivers can’t race in Xfinity/Truck when those two divisions start their playoffs. This is the last week for Cup drivers in Xfinity since Kansas (next weekend) represents the regular season finale.”
