The 2024 NASCAR Cup season has broken two times champion Kyle Busch’s heart multiple times. He came into the year determined to redeem himself from the late season performance slump in the 2023 season. But Richard Childress Racing’s consistent failure to give him a car capable of winning races.

The team did make a huge comeback late in the season, as they successfully fielded faster cars for both Austin Dillon and Kyle Busch. But they weren’t still enough to land them the win, with Busch securing P2 finishes back-to-back at Daytona and Darlington, while in a must-win situation. Following the Southern 500 result, his wife Samantha Busch share a heartfelt message.

Ugh, my heart hurts for the [8] team. From the calls to the stops to the driving, they dug hard all night. I wanted it so bad for them.

Proud to see the strides they made over the past few weeks and watching Kyle contend for the win these last few races. 10 more races to keep the win streak alive!.
Samantha Busch added in the post.

It won’t be easy for Kyle Busch to achieve the goal of keeping the streak alive. He and his crew have to bring their A-game the whole of the last 10 races and should invest more time and effort to the preparations for the races, starting with Atlanta this week.
