NASCAR driver Kyle Busch slammed the wall in the practice crash
NASCAR is currently racing in Iowa Speedway. The NASCAR Cup Series rolled to the track this afternoon for the opening round of practice.
Kyle Busch was fast, he sat 3rd on the times sheet. However, the team was still struggling with some handling issues.
After making some adjustments, Busch was caught off-guard as he lost the rear end into turn one. He over-corrected and drove straight into the outside wall.

RCR has been struggling to find speed in 2025. Several weeks ago, team owner Richard Childress was vocal over the team radio in the search for speed.

Kyle Busch comments
“We came in to make changes to get the rear of the car more secure,” Kyle Busch told TNT Sports.
“Literally anywhere I would push just a little bit harder, I would feel rear chatter. I felt really good about the changes that we made there.”
“Came out of turn four really hot and heavy. Went off into turn one with too much trust.”
“Chattered the right rear, over-corrected and smacked the wall. Not real sure how to find more trust or when you feel something good in one corner, it’s not there the next.”
Busch added, “It’s tough for the guys. I hate it for the guys.”
The No. 8 team will be unloading a backup car ahead of tomorrow’s event. Busch will see his first lap in the car during the race.
