Kyle Busch is facing an uncertain future in NASCAR after what he describes as a deeply disappointing 2024 season. Despite finishing second in the Southern 500 at Darlington, the seasoned driver found himself outpaced by Chase Briscoe, marking his best performance of the year yet still falling short of securing a spot in the postseason. This near miss has led Busch to question his career in the sport
The Southern 500 saw Busch make a rapid ascent from ninth place to second, largely due to a strategic pit stop where his team equipped four fresh Goodyear tires.
His current stint with Richard Childress Racing started strong in 2023 but saw a steady decline in performance through the middle of the 2024 season.
Despite consistent top-five finishes in recent races, the overall points gap proved too significant to close, resulting in frustrating near misses rather than podium triumphs.

There’s been a lot of opportunities, (at the) Daytona 500 we were up at the front. Maybe I need two hands to count the opportunities that have slipped away,” Busch remarked with self-doubt.
The 2024 season has been marked by high expectations and repeated frustrations for Busch and his No. 8 team. Despite recent strong finishes, including a narrow third-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier in the year, consistent underperformance has overshadowed his occasional successes. Even a seasoned driver can find themselves battling to stay at the top.
