A two-time NASCAR Cup Series<\/a> champion and the ninth winningest driver of all time, Richard Childress Racing<\/a>\u2019s Kyle Busch<\/a> is undoubtedly one of the sport\u2019s greats.<\/p>\n

With 730 Cup Series races under his belt already, Busch, who recently suggested NASCAR consider a major rule change<\/a> regarding spotters, has seen his fair share of drivers both succeed and fail in the sport. As for his own successes, the 40-year-old appears to put much of it down to his ability to push his cars that little bit further than others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re a race car driver and you’re going out there, you want to push the car to its absolute limits,\u201d he explained on ‘The Pat McAfee Show<\/a>.’ \u201cAnd for me, what always sort of made me as successful as I was, I could push it to that 100.5 percent line and just a little bit over the edge and yet keep it under control, where everybody else sort of lies within that 97 to 98 percent range. So, you can get that little bit out of it, you can make a lot more hay in being able to get those wins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently competing in his 21st full-time season and with 63 wins to date, the 2015 and 2019 champion is now without a win in over two years, dating back to the 2023 Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway. However, Busch appeared optimistic heading into the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a facility where he\u2019s tasted victory twice in the Cup Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Indy, coming to Indys a lot of fun,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve really gotten pretty good here over the years, I won the race in \u201815, \u201816, should have won it in \u201817 but we got wrecked out in a late caution restart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I feel pretty good about me here at Indy. And then the Chevy camp has obviously been really fast here over the years as well too; Kyle [Larson] winning the race last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I would think that our basis should be pretty close that we can go out there and we can have a good shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

RCR heads to Indianapolis under somewhat of a cloud, following Childress\u2019 damning comments over Busch\u2019s radio<\/a> after the checkered flag fell at the last race in Dover<\/a>. \u201cGotta get some race cars. We are in trouble. Period,\u201d the Hall of Famer said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Busch came home 11th in the No. 8 Chevrolet while teammate Austin Dillon finished 15th in the No. 3. This disappointing result was just the latest in what has been an underwhelming season for RCR, with Busch yet to finish higher than fifth while Dillon has not cracked the top six.<\/p>\n

DON’T MISS…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not due to lack of effort, that’s for d\u2014 sure,\u201d Busch told McAfee. \u201cEverybody at RCR, back there at the race shop, they\u2019re working as hard as they can; engineers are trying to figure it out and look at all the notes and figure out where the speeds at. Balance of the race cars has been pretty good this year, the driveability feels okay, it\u2019s just the lack of speed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and the ninth winningest driver of all time, Richard Childress Racing\u2019s Kyle…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":87361,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[52998,22238,4423,1406,44899,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-87360","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-indianapolis-motor-speedway","9":"tag-kyle-busch","10":"tag-motorsport-section","11":"tag-nascar","12":"tag-richard-childress-racing","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114905552245065680","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
