We’re bringing the best quality we can to the track through Next Gen’s development where parts are tougher to find, and repairs are a different strategy as far as what’s approved and what’s not. But overall, the quality of cars, the teamwork, all of it is there,” Kurt Busch said.

“We’re a sister team to JGR (Joe Gibbs Racing), so I look at it as there are six Toyotas that go to the track to win. And that’s the feeling, that’s the setting, and that’s the tone we have with the 23 car and the 45 cars right now,” Kurt Busch added.

“Here we are with Atlanta, as new as this track is with the pavement and the banking being reconfigured and the rules package, this is a mindset of a plate race. Then COTA next week, first time with the Next Gen on a rod course. We’re going to Richmond; that’s a true short track. There’s so much going on that there’s not a definite reset, it just has to be a calculated effort each week,” Kurt Busch said.
