Kyle Busch: Next Gen car "has been a bit of my demise"
Kyle Busch, a veteran NASCAR driver, has had a decorated career and recently joined Richard Childress Racing after many successful years with Joe Gibbs Racing. While he has won three races this season and qualified for the playoffs, his performance has been inconsistent since the introduction of the Next Gen car. Last year, his only win came at the Bristol Dirt Race, benefitting from a wreck ahead of him. He finished 13th in the standings, his lowest finish in almost a decade. This season, Busch has had more DNFs (Did Not Finish) than wins. He has attributed his struggles to overdriving and a lack of patience, as passing has become more difficult in the era of equal equipment and data analysis. Despite his challenges, Busch is determined to improve and overcome his current position below the playoff cutoff line.
