Kyle Busch was not happy with the NASCAR Cup Series package for intermediate tracks at the Texas Motor Speedway.
Texas is one of the track where the 550-horsepower package is used. Busch has previously expressed his discontent with the Next Gen cars and even said that it is a “step in the wrong direction.” He was critical of the package used in Texas too and was heard saying on the radio:
“Race fans, if you enjoy this accordion-style racing, please send your email to … (audio ends).”
“Nobody really gives a s**t about who’s doing what” – NASCAR drivers hit out at ‘lack of respect’ on tracks
His complain was directed to chief racing development officer Steve O’Donnell. In response, the Joe Gibbs racing driver was asked if his trouble was with the tires, Busch replied:
“No, the package. Every time you run somebody down, then they accordion you backwards, and then you run them down, and then they accordion backwards. It’s terrible. It’s a joke. But sign me up for more, I guess.”
While the package might have given him trouble throughout the race, Busch still managed to finish eight in the race, thereby keeping his hopes of making it into the Championship 4 race alive. He is currently occupying the last spot with eight points above the fifth placed driver.
