Kyle Busch heavily criticized Ross Chastain during the recent NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa. The race at Sonoma last week was chaotic, with numerous incidents occurring throughout the day. One of the most dramatic moments was the clash between Richard Childress Racing Chevy driver and Trackhouse Racing Chevy driver on the final lap, as they battled for a top-five position.
During an aggressive overtake, Ross Chastain made contact with Kyle Busch, resulting in significant damage to the No:8 Chevy. Busch finished in 12th place, with his car running out of fuel just before crossing the finish line. Chastain claimed that the move was unintentional, while Busch sarcastically responded after the race.
Busch acknowledged that his car stumbled on the final lap at Sonoma but believed he had given Chastain enough room to pass him. He expressed his thoughts on the way drivers are racing each other and specifically referenced Chastain in his comments.
Leading up to the Iowa Cup race, Busch once again criticized Ross Chastain, describing his move as foolish. Despite giving Chastain ample space to overtake, Busch felt that he was unfairly taken out due to the speed difference between their Chevys.
Podcaster and journalist Jordan Bianchi discussed Kyle Busch’s poor performance in the 2024 season and warned the No:12 team about the potential consequences of missing out on points. Bianchi highlighted the team’s mistakes on and off the track, which have resulted in missed opportunities for scoring points.
The 2024 season has been reminiscent of the Sonoma race for Kyle Busch, as he frequently finds himself involved in unfortunate incidents. The team is working on improving their racing strategy to increase their productivity. With only 10 races remaining before the playoffs, it will be intriguing to see how the rest of the season unfolds for Busch.
