Richard Childress Racing’s Kyle Busch has expressed his concerns about the poor performances of his Truck Series outfit Kyle Busch Motorsports. KBM joined the Chevy garage following Busch’s move to RCR and has been fielding Chevy Silverado instead of Toyota Tundra, which they have been racing in since their inception.

They have one full-time driver, Chase Purdy, that drives the No:4 Truck. Their second team, the No:51, has been driven by Kyle Busch, William Byron, and Jack Wood. They have secured just one win this season courtesy of Busch in his home track at Las Vegas. Busch and Byron have secured multiple top 5 finishes for the team since. But they have lacked the competitive edge in races that KBM’s young driver could exploit.

Chase Purdy, on the same Truck his boss has scored victories in, secured just one top 5 finish this season. He scored 4 Top 10s, and his remaining finishes were outside the Top 15. He never was a genuine contender to win races on any tracks this season. The KBM team, who has won two championships in the series, must fix the issues. As Busch said, they have been terrible, given their standards since Vegas.

“Yeah, definitely miss being able to run as much as I want to a lot. I would love to have way more Truck races, especially. I thought we started out strong and we were going to have a good year with winning at Las Vegas (Motor Speedway) with the KBM Chevrolet’s, but unfortunately, we’ve been terrible since,” Kyle Busch said.

The two times Cup champion pointed out that if he had the opportunity to race more than the five eligible races he is allowed to start, he would have been able to find their issue—Full-time Cup drivers with over five years of experience in the Cup series. So Busch has just one more race left in the series to test the cars.

He would like to have the eligibility rules similar to when he won the 2009 Xfinity championship while driving full-time in the Cup. NASCAR was restricted in 2010, giving the rule the nickname the “Busch rule”.

“We’re missing something somewhere and we’re trying to figure out why and what. We have an idea, but we haven’t necessarily conquered it yet. That would be one that I would really like to get back into would be the Truck Series and running my own stuff a little bit more,” Busch said.

“Having some more races to kind of just build the program and make sure that we are where we need to be with our younger drivers. Not necessarily having that experience to be able to dictate and tell exactly what’s wrong with our vehicle dynamic and stuff like that,” Busch added.
