Kyle Busch Fires First Shot of 2024 NASCAR Season and Speaks Up for Fans
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 фев 2024
- Kyle Busch has undergone a dramatic transformation in fan perception since he moved from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing before the 2023 season. He's no longer the most-booed during driver introductions (that's now reserved for his former JGR teammate Denny Hamlin), but instead is one of the most-cheered.
But don't mistake Busch's new persona as someone who doesn't have opinions. He does - and strong ones. The two-time Cup Series champion shared one this weekend at Atlanta with reporters when talking about the season-opening race at Daytona and described it as pathetic, disgraceful, and how the fans deserved better.

Why don't the eliminate the caution for each stage and just keep racing they did it on road courses
For sure. No need for either to have them it actually hurts the racing.
Just think they used to do it all the time now all these breaks they plus all the fucking commercials can’t get interested it any more
Because the stages were created by TV to show more commercials not for more competitive racing.
Drop the stages and go back to how NASCAR used to be. Drop the green and race straight through until the checkers at the end of the race. I've never liked the stage racing.
What would happen if they have a mandatory caution on 20 laps before the end and get fule only and retain your position on the track
4 hours of follow the leader, followed by 3 laps of demolition derby, it’s crap gets worse every year.
It's always been follow the leader after the first few laps. Go to YT and watch the 60s -til now races. Nothing new.
Thank you Kyle Busch! 😄👍
Atlanta was what super speedways were like in the 90s, guys able to come from 10th to the front
Remember Dale Sr coming from I think 17th to 2nd behind I think Kenny Wallace???
They need to bring back points for leading a lap and points for leading the most laps. If they want to keep stages, dont throw the caution tho
Let us return nascar to the racers and the fans. This whole playoff crap is just not getting it. It is not football, baseball, soccer............. it is racing. I still contend that if these guys are the best, they should start the race in the reverse order of the finish of Thrace from the previous week. Shit or get off the pot and stop all this whinning.
maybe nascar can start a new fuel economy series.where you get enough fuel for a 350 mile race, even though its scheduled for a 400 mile race.& whoever runs out of gas last wins the race.they can call it the "GREEN" series.then they can bragg about saving the plannet.
that might work
NASCAR boardroom:
"WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!"
Haha went green and and petered out
Much of what he said applies to Atlanta as well. The racing was painfully slow particularly on the Cup side. When the speeds are higher in the truck race than the Cup race something is wrong.
Next week race will be 5 cars at the finish line, nascar is now make believe like wrestling
The powers that runs nascar have destroyed it,
Either get rid of stage cautions or make more stage cautions so they are within the fuel window
I agree. I can't stand the stage cautions. Probably the dumbest thing NASCAR ever came up with. I'm ok with the the stages but keep the race going, after all, it is called RACING!!!
Agree, don't stop the race for stages, a guy works himself into a lead and bang, time to stop and regroup.
Funny he Hamlin. Said he wanted to mix it up but he’s always ran in the back to avoid the early wrecks. He’s full of it!
GAS SAVING IS NOT RACING
No, but it is part of racing. You do need fuel to, you know, race!
Racing isn't entirely about speed, just an FYI.
Why don’t they eliminate the IROC type cars. They suck because every car is shaped exactly the same, and all of the engines have exactly the same power. Haven’t watched since the Car of Tomorrow.
The end of the xfinity race at Atlanta was pathetic also with about half of the field running out of gas with 7 laps to go and for the final overtime laps. Maybe NASCAR has to introduce a mandatory pit stop at halfway point of 3rd stage to eliminate the fuel saving runs early in the race.
Hate stage racing
And y'all hated the long long green flag runs that stretched out the field and had the leader ahead of second place by a massive gap, too. That's why NASCAR put in stage cautions.
@vidmasterK1 idk who yall is but I loved long green flafs and the fiekd all over the place. I was always more into the strategy and skill vs everyone clumped up and wrecking tho.
Not enough revenue at the tracks, need to dupe the sponsors with commercials and the fans suffer
No stage breaks at superspeedways. Just award points
They tried it with road courses last year and then backed out of it.
The problem is at the 3 minute mark of this video. Elton Sawyer was a mediocre driver and that's putting it nicely. There's gotta be a better choice for a competition director.
Ken Schrader
Busch kinda answered the third lane should take care of it.
Fans can't even notice a 3 second lap time differences at Daytona without a stop watch. Although, I somewhat agree.
Give cars more power so they do not need to draft in long lines.
❤Lets just appreciate all the work Kyle's doing
I don't like that the lineup after each stage changes. Line them bak up the way the stage ended. Or get rid of stage racing all together. But no we can't just have 1 winner.
Predetermined race car winners
Lets stop counting caution laps and get rid of the cautions for each stage.
The reason Kyle Busch is cheered now is simple he doesn’t drive for Gibbs anymore.
The reason Denny Hamlin has now became the most hated is because he still drives for Gibbs. It’s not rocket science
And yes I had Kyle Busch getting cheered when he went to RCR on my bingo card. Last year when it was rumored Hamlin might not be returning to Gibbs I said the samething he won’t be hated as much if he just went to his own team. After all he would have still been associated with JGR. If he would have left JGR and Toyota all together he would be as popular as Kyle Busch. That’s the simple truth.. the majority don’t like JGR and they don’t like Toyota.
Spot on! Of course I wouldn’t expect anything different from Rowdy! End stage racing.
I hated Kyle Busch for many years but now driving a Chevrolet has made him my favorite.
he did drive a chevy before
@@brandongabriel1693 yes he did. Kyle use to drive for Richard Childress years ago
Why you like him when he drives a foreign made car like chevy?
@@ChrisDavis-dt6xx HMS
Same for all restrictor plate racing
Stage racing also takes away from the competition.
Drop the WWE gimmicks and the racing improves.
Competition has never been so amazing these days. Look at all the different winners we had the past few seasons.
Nascar is the problem, to many rules.
Everytime there is a caution WHY so many yellow laps before the green??
Stages are a joke, the playoffs too, the win and your in the playoffs is BS. Go back to pre 2004 points system.
If the drivers have such a problem with it why don’t they just drive
To get people interested again start racing cars people can goto the dealer Monday morning and buy. Anything less is what they call stock car racing today.
if Kyle had stopped being brutally honest because he is liked now id be upset nobody is hardly that honest anymore. I don't like Kyle that much but that is one of the things i do like about him
Quit stage racing. Points for leading a lap, most laps. To make it interesting, pick 2 random tracks to race in reverse direction, teams won't know until they show up to the track. And quit racing in that L.A. CHILLI BOWL.
"Mayhem 500" getting old
It’s supposed to be a race not a fuel saving event! I’m probably done wasting time trying to watch a RACE!
Need to take the stages out of the race.
Looks like Nascar wants a restrictor plate everywhere they go. The early 2000's were really decent in comparison. 🏁
Stop stage racing .period
I was there at Daytona first time ever going and listened to the drivers radios……I am a Busch fan Kyle’s not wrong Daytona was disappointing to say the least
One of the worst races ever to one of the best races ever. Crazy start to the season.
Fuel saveing car speeds up to 85mph whooo hell yah
it’s called PUSYCAR no longer nascar
Okay then goodbye do not watch or tune in so we don't have to hear your whining
Baby nascar with stages for toilet breaks, that’s why the ratings are 10% of people from when Earnhardt dies
@@shawnmyers1880 Earnhardt was part of why nascar was falling off and flailing
I miss Winston Cup and the drivers that made it great!
Rowdy Rules
Im australian so I dont have any say in what NASCAR does ,but I love NASCAR and it was the speed of the super speedways that drew me to it , but if there going to run half throttle untill the last 10 laps , whats the point in watching the race ? , may as well watch the highlight package , hopping ya,s sort it out
"Laying Back" either at the start of each stage or during the race, to save fuel, are both NOT full on racing.
Agreed
Every other racing series requires you to use fuel strategy.
Open pits only during green flag racing. I used to think stage points were good, but eventually realizing the coming yellow flags with using up 6-7 laps of racing. Yeah, it's bull.
Put the peddle to the metal and leave it there
Smaller fuel tanks will force them to run fast to make up time lost doing more pit stop.
Best finish ever I'll give you that what I had to watch to get to the Finish what's the worst race I've ever saw and what changed from last year cuz the cars didn't drive like that last year
REMOVE THE RESTRICTOR PLATES! This is the only comment NASCAR should be flooded with any time the subject of Daytona and Talladega comes up. I don't want to see all these cars get wrecked. Considering that NASCAR puts safety first, why do they continue to create conditions that cause so many wrecks; that's not safe. The truck race at Daytona was a total disaster.
Most restrictor plate races are pretty boring but this race was terrible
I saw everything I needed to see during that truck race Nascar fixed that race on the last pit stop everyone saw it just nobody wants to say it
Stage racing sucks !!!
You will do what your told! NASCAR is trying to keep the cars together. They finally came up with the idea to run at half throttle!
I guess we’ll have to call it, Daytona 250+250.
NASCAR F'd up with the "Stage" BS. With the new cars and fragile rear ends, just let em race. There will be enough yellow/reds to allow restarts. Get out there and race!
NASCAR is going green . The EV 200 mile race. No chargers. And the gas cars will be 4cylinders.
Go back to the manufacturers. Let's have real stock car racing. All the cars being exactly the same makes for boring and hard to watch.
Stage cautions + "lucky dog". Makes the 1st 9/10 of the race irrelevant unless caught up in somebody's mess.
Atlanta was just another Demolition Derby . How about penalties and suspensions for causing accidents and forcing drivers off the track. It is supposed to be racing not wrecking.
Stage racing sucks. Just start the race and go as fast as you can until you have to pit and keep doing that until the race is over. Simple.
Saving gas in a race.?.?.?.? Especially a Super Speedway race??? This is not new. Riding... Nope not new either. Why didn't somebody just.?.?.? Well Kyle and everyone else bitching. You could have been somebody. This is all the same talking points after a race at Daytona & Talladega. We rode around most of the race and we wreaked each other.
It's 500 miles and not a sprint. Everyone complaining could have done so many things differently and just sounds like whining that you didn't win.
Correct
I hate Kyle Bush with a passion more than anyone on this planet. I would argue that till I die but he’s right.
Why didn’t Kyle pull out and make a 3rd lane?🤔
Great question.
Are you Gotta do is refuse to drive that wake up everything’s government controlled Dale Earnhardt Senior sad why can’t we make it unlimited anything goes the best car wins👍✊🇺🇸💯
That is exactly why I don't watch NASCAR racing. Watching a bunch of cars playing follow the leader is not racing. I can remember watch NASCAR in the 60's when NASCAR had real drivers driving their asses off.Now that was racing not this follow the leader crap.
NASCAR is stock car racing's biggest enemy!!!
Daytona has been a joke since 1988 when the restrictor plates came into the picture. Stock car racing is so boring now.
He sounds like my X always bitching, grow up! 😢
Did yall already forgot how u people hate when theres no stage cautions in the road races and yall complained about the leaders ( willy. B) dominate the whole field in walkens glen and yall wanted back the stage cautions. How hipercritical yall can be?
whiners, whiners everywhere
If people want to save fuel I say let them. It’s their strategy so let them use it. As a NASCAR fan I disliked super speedway before this style of racing and I dislike it even more. To me it’s not racing, it’s follow the leader. You can go from 1st to 21st just for getting in the middle. All afternoon. Then the big ones that cost owners how many hundreds of thousands of dollars? It’s just bad in general and we have six now….yeah!,,,😢
Too many new rules Its racing and the driver who wins week to week should be rewarded This stage thing ruined the sport for many. Run then like the World of Outlaws Wokeass nascar Redistribution of race win wealth shouldn’t punish a consistently great driver
I wish I could watch NASCAR, but just can't get past those racist garage door pull-downs... smh
NASCAR is awful. I quit watching years ago when they went to the "Playoff Series" Championship. Pure jun, I'd rather watch WWE which is the next step up the ladder
Then why are you here now?
Nascar has become putty racing
Busch is still a ASS no matter what team he's on or what brand he drives for ! As for the racing NASCAR doesn't tell teams to race with mileage in mind ! It's up to the drivers and team what strategies they imploy, if there are.some who are not happy with the pace then get up front and change it ! If 5 or more drivers feel like this then get together and speed up the pace everyone else will have no choice to run wide open or get left behind !
Maybe your an ASS
I have not watched NASCAR in years and thought I would check in; I hear whining. Boo who, sob sob. Kyle - bust loose from the pack and lead like a race car driver and burn that fuel . Are you limited? Or is about an extra pit stop rime? Be a racer, not a whiner. Maybe this is why I quit watching NASCAR
this guy never has anything on this but bullshit
CRY, CRY. What's new with HD? Park it girl, you'll save the team a lot of money and time. Maybe even save a life! Stick to the toy cars, you can almost handle them.
Crybaby Busch at it again
Nascar is a joke 😢
That’s race sucked. Just like all pack racing is. Stop the pack racing
NASCAR SUCKS NOW
NASCAR is slowing dying. It is no longer about real Auto Racing.
The "Politics" are ruining the sport. This pack racing is a load of crap. Three wide with everyone in a pack running the same speed is a JOKE!!!
It is much better racing just going to all those small hometown tracks now. I would rather spend a night at Bowman Gray, Hickory, etc. then empty my Bank Account to go to a CUP Race and watch a pack of cars go round and round doing nothing for the entire race.
Agree. I’ve been going to Daytona on and off since ‘69 or so. Sure, the venue is spectacular and the pageantry is off the charts. The place reeks of history and the golden days of stock car racing. I was at the track supporting an ARCA team and watched the last few laps of the truck race. It was awful driving and terrible racing. I don’t recall how many trucks were wadded up that night but it was a bunch. Shame what NASCAR has done to the sport. I would love to see a Cup race with no plates at Daytona again, but technology has made rendered most, if not all super speedways unsafe for speeds that would be if plates were eliminated.I’d bet cars could hit 240-250 MPH on the backstretch without them, which exceeds the capability of the track itself, much like the NHRA nitro class racing such as Top Fuel and Funny Car where the track has been shortened by nearly 25% to 1000 feet. Top speeds now for 1000 feet have caught up to 1/4 speeds. Probably won’t be long they have to react and slow the cars down again. It’s an unfortunate result of technology advancement.
Kyle Busch is a joke
