Kyle Busch discusses the daunting tasks that await him in the......

Kyle Busch may be on the verge of another disappointing finish in the Cup race on Sunday. The Richard Childress Racing driver arrived at Texas Motor Speedway aiming to regain momentum after a significant drop in performance in the last four races. However, his hopes for a successful day seem to be slipping away, as he couldn’t even complete a qualifying lap.

During practice session, Busch was involved in an accident and was unable to participate in the qualifying session. As a result, he will start the race in 35th position, next to another driver who also crashed during practice. Discussing what awaits him on Sunday, the two-time Cup champion acknowledged that it will be challenging to make progress on the track due to the difficulties of overtaking at TMS.

Busch’s track record at Texas is impressive, with four career victories. However, he has faced challenges in the Next-Gen era, competing in only three races since 2022 and achieving a best finish of 21st place, which occurred in a race where he started from the pole position. The accident in the practice session may be indicative of the current trend in his performance.

The Chevy team number 8 provided Busch with a fast car for the weekend, but he encountered significant balance issues. After a few fast laps, the Chevy became tight, causing Busch to hit the wall. As a result, the team will use the backup car in Sunday’s race.

The 2024 season has been a nightmare for Richard Childress Racing so far. The team has been uncompetitive in all races and their execution in pit stops has been disappointing. RCR is desperately in need of a shining moment from their drivers or engineers to identify and address the issues plaguing the team.
