To Kyle Busch’s dismay, the Cup Series cars did not have any aerodynamic changes for this weekend’s Talladega race. Busch’s dissatisfaction is understandable given the rising number of car flips at these fast-paced NASCAR races. In order to guarantee that cars stayed grounded, NASCAR has already tested new modifications in Michigan. These blowover flips are unpleasant for any motorist, even though they haven’t yet caused any serious injuries. Kyle Busch and Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports chatted on the eve of this weekend’s race. “I believe they tested it at Michigan, and it probably is not easy and could be expensive to produce greener, safer versions,” Busch said, expressing his dissatisfaction. You want something similar to that, then as soon as you possibly could get it. Coming to places like this without a safety feature is a bit disappointing.”
Although Kyle Busch is aware that NASCAR is developing a future strategy, he has expressed disappointment over the organization’s tardiness in introducing any adjustments to the Aero package for drafting tracks. Concerned about the impending races at Daytona, fans want a change to be made as quickly as feasible. Busch had positive news despite the setback. Since his Chevy was the fastest in qualifying, he will start in position two. The fact that Austin Dillon, his RCR teammate, is the only other Chevy to start in the top-10 later today suggests that Busch has an advantage in the race. Busch could definitely need the lift, as he has only finished in the top 10 once in his previous five races and hasn’t won since his victory at Gateway in June 2023. But, knowing his consistent speed struggle, it’s great to know that he, at least, has a prompt start today.
The drivers in the Cup Series now have plenty of time to plan their race thanks to superspeedway competition. Is today the day that Busch ends his losing streak? He and Austin Hill, his RCR teammate, are under intense pressure to perform well and win.
