Kyle Busch circles main cause of RCR struggles during 'dismal and

Heading into the Chicago Street Race on Sunday, July 7th, Richard Childress Racing has been going through what driver Kyle Busch has described as a dismal and heartbreaking season.

Busch has been one of the drivers who has struggled this season for RCR, having gone 40 races without a win. Now, with Richard Childress stepping into a larger role with him, he’s doing his best to make a playoff spot.

“Richard and I have had some discussions on some stuff and just trying to get better, trying to push in every area that we possibly can, body shop, chassis shop, assembly, all that stuff,” Busch said. “It’s just the competition side, the engineering side, all of that stuff and be making sure that we’re doing all the best we can and understanding the information we have given to us the best we can as there are other Chevy teams that are being able to do a better job than what we are with all of that.

Kyle Busch is an incredibly successful driver, as a two-time Cup champion. If he did miss the playoffs, it would be the first time he did so since 2012.

Kyle Busch isn’t alone in struggling at RCR this season, though. The entire team is struggling after having won about 10 percent of races in the previous two seasons. This comes as Hendrick Motorsports, another Chevrolet team, is finding plenty of success. It success that RCR is hoping to replicate.

If we were the best of the Chevy teams and we were struggling and not winning, then it would be a different problem across the board,” Busch said. “But Hendrick seems to be doing just fine, so we’ve got to catch up to at least that.”
