Kyle Busch severely criticized Ross Chastain during the recent NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa. The race at Sonoma last week was chaotic, with numerous incidents occurring throughout the day. One of the most dramatic moments was the crash between the Richard Childress Racing Chevy driver and the Trackhouse Racing Chevy driver on the final lap as they battled for a top-five position.
During an aggressive pass, Ross Chastain came into contact with Kyle Busch, resulting in significant damage to the number 8 Chevy. Busch finished in 12th place, with his car running out of fuel shortly before crossing the finish line. Chastain claimed the maneuver was accidental, while Busch responded sarcastically after the race.
Busch acknowledged that his car failed on the final lap at Sonoma, but believed he had left enough room for Chastain to pass him. He expressed his thoughts on the way the drivers are competing against each other and specifically mentioned Chastain in his comments.
Before the Cup race in Iowa, Busch again criticized Ross Chastain, describing his move as foolish. Despite giving Chastain enough room to pass him, Busch felt that he was unfairly taken out of the race due to the speed difference between his Chevys.
Podcaster and journalist Jordan Bianchi discussed Kyle Busch’s poor performance in the 2024 season and warned the No. 12 team about the potential consequences of dropping points. Bianchi highlighted the team’s mistakes on and off the court, which resulted in missed opportunities to score points.
The 2024 season has been reminiscent of the Sonoma race for Kyle Busch, as he frequently gets involved in unfortunate incidents. The team is working to improve their race strategy to increase their productivity. With only 10 races left before the playoffs, it will be intriguing to see how the rest of the season plays out for Busch.
