Kyle Busch’s recent victory at Bristol Motor Speedway may not be a surprise, but what’s unexpected is that his spring 2022 win didn’t come on the surface where he usually excels. The introduction of the Next Gen car has posed challenges for Busch on concrete tracks like Bristol. Despite his past success at Bristol, Busch admitted to struggling with the new car setup on concrete surfaces. His last win on Bristol’s concrete track was in the spring of 2019. Busch has a strong track record at Bristol across all three national series, but he’s still adjusting to the new racing dynamics with the Next Gen car. His performance in Saturday’s practice session and qualifying suggests he may be poised for a competitive showing in the upcoming Food City 500.
