In the previous couple of years, Kyle Busch has actually gotten into dash automobiles and dust racing. Give that credit score to Brexton. Busch has been set on being part of his son’s younger racing profession and which means racing the whole lot. From bandoleros to dash automobiles and go-karts.
Having a two-time NASCAR champion on the Tulsa Shootout is cool. After all, former dust guys like Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson attend the occasion most years. Whereas Bell has a automotive entered, he’s not racing it. Larson can also be not entered this yr in Tulsa.
Nonetheless, Wild Factor goes to be racing in two courses. He can be within the Outlaw Winged and Non-Winged courses. Busch has gained a warmth earlier than and competed nicely in opposition to dust’s finest drivers. He’s solely improved on the dust since he started racing it.

Kyle Busch heading into second yr with RCR
Rowdy is coming into his second yr with Richard Childress Racing. To begin 2023, Busch seemed like he was a championship-caliber driver. I’d argue he was for many of the season. Nonetheless, the wheels began to fall off late within the yr. With unhealthy luck and poor automotive setups within the playoffs, Busch suffered.
Nonetheless, the No. 8 automotive discovered itself in Victory Lane 3 times and had a shot at a number of extra. Given how RCR has carried out in recent times, it was a terrific total season for Busch and that staff.
Nonetheless, the two-time champ wish to make himself a three-time champion. If he’s ready to try this at Richard Childress Racing, will probably be a career-defining second and a historic achievement in and of itself.
Whereas I do know 2024 hasn’t even begun, I can’t wait to see what occurs in 2025 and past. May we probably see Kyle Busch take the wheel of the No. 3 automotive at RCR? What are your expectations for Rowdy within the subsequent season?
