Update: Kyle Busch comments
On Wednesday, Kyle Busch spoke on the performance of RCR:
“It is not due to lack of effort, that’s for damn sure,” Busch stated via the Pat McAfee Show.
“Everybody there at RCR, they’re working as hard as they can. Engineers are trying to figure it out. Look at all the notes and figure out where the speed’s at.”
“Balance of the racecars has been pretty good this year. Like, the drivability feels good. It’s just the lack of speed.”
Kyle Busch currently sits under the playoff cutline.
