It was just five days ago that Kyle Busch registered his first win with Richard Childress Racing in Fontana. The 37-year-old won the 61st race of his NASCAR Cup Series career. An achievement like that should be cherished, right? But being the competitive racer Busch is, he rushed off to Las Vegas to attempt the “Triple Threat” on the same weekend. To his benefit, he got just the start he needed as he emerged victorious in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race in Vegas last night. Despite that, he was left fuming.
While getting a win in all three NASCAR national series on the same weekend is an uphill task, it is nothing new for the RCR driver. Busch achieved the feat at Bristol in 2010 and 2019. Having said that, the win with his team Kyle Busch Motorsports last night should be encouraging. However, it didn’t stop him from going on a lengthy rant.

Racing in his hometown, Busch was obviously the favorite, and he didn’t disappoint one bit. He once again dominated the proceedings this season to race down the victory lane. In fact, the triumph meant it was his 63rd win in the Truck Series. However, the number of halts during the race left Rowdy fuming.
The Truck Series race saw an unbelievable 10 cautions last night with timely disruptions spoiling the flow of the race. No wonder Busch was furious with it. During the race, his team’s radio chatter caught him saying, “This is just pathetic. It’s worse than a f**king ARCA race.”
“They ain’t got a clue how to race! I would be embarrassed…In fact, I am embarrassed,” – Kyle Busch after this wreck.

The most notable wreck of the race saw Hailie Deegan spin into John Hunter Nemechek. Furthermore, the TRICON Garage driver rammed into the outside wall, collecting Ross Chastain in the process. This event only triggered Busch more. He said on the radio, “They ain’t got a clue how to race! I would be embarrassed. In fact, I am embarrassed.”
All said and done, Busch does not have the luxury to deep dive into this matter as much as he would like to. With races lined up for Saturday and Sunday, his challenges involving the triple-header are far from complete.
Busch will need support from everyone
