to put this into perspective… Kyle Busch at JGR, M&M’s, and the #18 car will be all nonexistent next year… damn.

I feel like this season cements the state of JGR at this moment. Denny is consistent but is cursed. Kyle basically filed his 90 day notice. Martin is coming back next year but had a rough time this year. And Bell was the lone proper great driver this year for consistency and making the final four.

No one saw him having that bad of a season. With contract negotiations, his primary sponsor of M&Ms leaving the sport, and 2 blown engines to start the playoffs it seemed like a dark cloud hung over the #18 team the entire season. Hopefully he can have a fresh start with RCR.

Frontstretch’s interview at Phoenix was absolutely saddening. Kyle had never been like that in an interview. Glad this current season gave him a much-needed rebound.

So many races he should’ve won without bad luck and he was having a good year in the first 16 races then after that it was utter chaos

The first half was sooo great, but in the end, this is how we will remember this season for KFB.

One of the most anticipated videos of the 2022 NASCAR Offseason

Man I never thought this day would come in a long time

Lot of drivers would love to have Jeff Gordon’s 2005 season.

Race 16-31 of the 2022 Season for Kyle Busch saw 2 Top 10s, A 24.5 Average Finish and 5 DNFs including his Pocono Disqualification along with a 30th Place Average Finish in the Round of 16 knocking him out of the 2022 Playoffs PS: Congrats on 63K

Who’s watching this when Kyle Busch is having a phenomenal 2023 season😂

I've been a Kyle Busch fan ever since I started watching NASCAR, KB has been with JGR since I was 2 or 3 years old and it's really eerie seeing him out of the iconic 18 he's made for himself. I hope him the best with his tenure with Richard Childress, hopefully they can deal with KB's passionate style lmao

Suffice to say, Kyle Busch got the "Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari in 2020" treatment at JGR this year. May not be a big fan, but gotta feel for the guy. Hope his time in RCR will be somewhat better, I suppose.

It’s crazy to think that after 2020 many people thought that he wouldn’t have another season like this. Then 2022 happens and the end of an era for Kyle Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing. I honestly didn’t think that this would happen, him leaving JGR.

This ties 2020 as the most painful year to be a Kyle Busch fan.

Being a Kyle fan for at least 13 or so years that I can remember this season stung. Just when I thought things might turn around or maybe end on some type of positive, just meh after meh finish. Really happy he's going to RCR in the 8. I'll be looking to see how Ty does on his own at JGR too. Great video.

The thing about this is that Kyle Busch’s stats this season (aside from the 7 DNFs) are pretty good, but absolutely horrendous by Kyle Busch standards

He had a lot of bad luck at the beginning of the year but I think he did so bad in the second half because Joe Gibbs wanted to give him the finger on his way out. Yes, he finished third at Las Vegas and 7th at Phoenix but that was because of his talent and in-spite of his equipment, not because of it.

So a "Bad Season" is scoring one win, 8 Top 5's, 17 Top 10's, and leading more laps this year then he has in the past three and finishing 13th in points? Wow, that must mean Austin Cindric had a "Bad Season" since he won the Daytona 500 and finished 12th in points.

At least M&M's got a Top 10 in their final race.

I feel like 2020 really began the end of Kyle Busch and JGR as a duo. In 2020 they had great moments occasionally but most of the time was very off compared to 2008-2019. Sure the loss of Practice and Qualifying because of Covid-19 and his crew chief changing from Adam Stevens to Ben Beshore were setbacks for Kyle and his team but if Kyle's 2020 was anything it was in indicator of what was to come the next 2 seasons

Going to sonoma 2022 he had 11/15 Top tens which is insane then after that it was all pain

If by bad season, you mean bad second half of the season then yeah you’ve got a point

In 2020 Kyle also had a bad season, however he scored 2 Cup wins in 2021

Didn’t Bobby Labonte end his stint with JGR with a bad season as well?

Other ideas for Bad Seasons; RCR 2009 and/or 2019 Denny Hamlin 2018 (his only winless season) Casey Mears 2008 Chip Ganassi Racing 2011 Tony Stewart 2015 Clint Bowyer 2014 or 2016

Imagine telling Dale Jr fans back in 2008 that one day Kyle Busch will drive the 8.

I'm just glad he tied Richard Petty for most consecutive seasons with a win. That's pretty awesome

Kyle Busch: Good 2021 season to the most crashes in the 2022 season

It's hilarious that Kyle Busch scored as many Top 10s as Joey Logano with the difference being Championship Seasons: Joey Logano 2022 & Bad Seasons: Kyle Busch 2022

Bad seasons: Brad Keselowski 2022 Bad seasons: Martin Truex Jr 2022 Good seasons: Ross Chastain 2022

I never thought I see the day the words "Bad Season" and "Kyle Busch" would be a video title

I still think Dale Jarrett's 2003 season needs a video.

Kyle spun in at least half of the race weekends, whether in practice, qualifying or the race.

Future uploads: Revisiting Jimmie Johnson and Bad Seasons: Kyle Busch 2005.

Crazy that that's considered a bad season. Half the field would consider this solid.

Unfortunately, after 15 seasons where he scored 3 championships and 147 wins (Xfinity and Cup) with Joe Gibbs Racing. I was right that I was going to predict a bad season for Kyle Busch this year and in the end it was true. Unfortunately he had the most incidents this season which were 26 incidents including Self Spins than Chase Elliott which was 22 incidents. Big comebacks after every spin for Kyle Busch and now a new chapter is about to be written at RCR in 2023, after it was announced a couple of hours ago that Ty Gibbs was going to go to Cup in 2023 in the 54 car. RIP JGR 18 car (1993-2022)

This season was worse than Kyle’s 2012 season. It was quite a bad way to end a great era at JGR. Can’t wait for the RCR 8 era next year and I hope for the best.

Really liked seeing that DeWalt scheme on the 18 👍

I found a Kyle Busch diecast in the trash, and basically told me that number 18 cars not gonna be in the cup series no more

This year was painful for Rowdy Nation. Next year has to be better.

A Bad Seasons suggestion that I think is worth looking at: Ricky Rudd (1997-99, take your pick because the collapse year by year is sad)

This season was definitely a miserable year for Kyle not going to lie worse then 2012. Difficult year for Rowdy Nation to watch. Had it not been for the lucky win at the Bristol Dirt race it would had been a winless season. After Sonoma, the team just looked lost and just didn’t give a damn afterwards to improve upon things. Listening to his interview following the RCR announcement, talking about actually feeling welcomed in the Chevy camp said a lot about how much is relationship with Toyota & JGR declined greatly. Well it’s JGR’s loss, here’s hopefully to better things in the 8 next year

I’m going to be honest, 2022 for Kyle Busch was pretty good but then he and Denny Hamlin got disqualified at Pocono. Since that race, it wasn’t the same…

Kyle Busch led more laps this season than he did in 2020 and 2021 yet he only had one win and eight Top 5s. Big yikes 😬.

Wonder how people felt when Dale Senior went from his then familiar Wrangler blue and yellow colours to what became his signature in his later years, the black GM Goodwrench livery

Not a Kyle fan at all but I wouldn't mine him running well and maybe snagging a championship with RCR. He is reaching the point in his career where he is turning into a respectable well spoken veteran. Still some extremely hot takes but the truth hurts sometimes.

Man what a turn around!!! 3 dubs by the off week is impressive! At this rate I don't see any reason why his win total won't match the shiny new car number!!! #8in23 #3xchamp

Yeah, and to make matters worse, his only win was him backing into it when the two cars in front of him crashed and he won. Even Kyle Busch was stunned "I feel like I didn't even do anything". The rest of it, you just knew that Joe Gibbs Racing was not bringing him back and he just was having a lame duck season until the announcement he was going to RCR. They were so up and down, and it seemed like they never recovered from the announcement that M&M's was leaving, and the contract negotiations seemed to rankle Kyle a lot and as it became more and more evident that JGR didn't want him the more frustrating things got for him. I don't wish a year like this on anyone.

The only reason Christopher Bell made a "miraculous" run to the Final 4 because the moment KFB and Gibbs' relationships started to crumble, Joe gave Kyle all the scraps that the 20 had for years, and gave all the good equipment to Bell to Kyle used to have, which started KFB's slump. Truex will be the next victim of being the guy who's given the scraps at JGR, it's the exact same reason why Suarez sucked in the 19 and the reason they hired Truex to begin with.

AHHHH. I KNEW I SAW YOU AT BRISTOL DIRT. AHHHH

Hey leave my favorite driver alone haha Great video like always brother!

The fan controllers came back to haunt him this season.

The video we’ve all been waiting for

What makes things worst is for Kyle Busch fans is that Lionel Racing did not offer preorders for the m&m's Halloween or the final ride car, complete missed opportunity for them to do that as they both knew that KB18 cars would be their money makers. Unfortunately due to Mars Inc and JGR, those two diecasts never happened.

Yet again you smashed it out of the park👍👍👍

Good job, Joe. Sabotaging your BEST DRIVER!

Waiting for the bad season video on Martin Truex's 2022 season.

Hey BFM, when's the Zane Smith Championship video coming out?

Just like 10 years ago, a Kyle Busch bad season

NASCAR Rumbles menu music amazing

4:50 NASCAR 21 with medium steering assist

Yup! I was waiting for it!

As you did that video can you do bad seasons Martin Truex Jr. 2022 Darian?

Let’s be real, who saw this coming? 😂

I’ve been waiting for this.

I thought this would be for Brad Keslowski or Martin Truex Jr, but yeah Kyle had a rough final season with JGR despite his 1 win.

Man I don't even like Kyle but I wasn't happy with how this last year went for him, the jgr and Busch combo was proven to be much better than what the last year gave us

Good Seasons: Denny Hamlin 2021

i think all we have to do now is just look onto the future for kyle busch in the 8 i know he had a bad season but the season is over and most importantly i think it would be good to see what happens next year for kyle busch in the 8 i do think he will outrun what everyone else expected of him and i think he will crank up in the standings

Been on a bit of a nascar rabbit hole, and I'm not really a fan. So maybe I got this wrong but..... this many problems over and over again, from damaged engines to damaged tires, everything.... feels kinda like he may have been given bad stuff, or purposely sabotaged. idk, that's so weird to see him just have so many mechanical problems or tire problems on a pretty consistent basis.

You know you’ve had a good career when 1 win is considered a bad season.

2:19 I remember goin nuts! Everyone was cheerin great race at Hotlanta

As a Kyle Busch fan, knowing that he could of won 7 RACES is total pain to me

As a close fan of JGR drivers, I’ll speak for all fans, Kyle Busch is 100% not washed, pre playoffs JGR gave KB shitty cars. Even before his RCR announcement, JGR already clearly sabotaged his car, I watched all Round of 16 races, he had a CLEAR shot of winning in all 3 before his car “malfunctioned”. KB clearly tried as a driver, JGR failed him because of contract fallouts There is zero meaning for KB in the last 7 races, you could clearly see he wouldn’t care abt even trying to win, he was literally out there for contractual obligations only even blatantly stating it during interviews JGR wanting Ty Gibbs Racing entering next season gives no reason for KB to try to win too. It’s just sad to see KB go out this way, RCR#8 gonna be a huge threat next season

Still waiting on that bad seasons Cole Custer video BFM/Darian, especially with the recent news.

I think Kyle Busch will Champion next year

AND NEXT YEAR FOR JOE GIBBS RACING 11-19-20-54 ALL WILL HAVE BAD SEASON THIS GONNA BE A ROUGH BAD AWFUL 2023 SEASON FOR THE CUP SERIES AND XFINTY TEAMS

0:09-0:10, they technically won 56 races together. With Kyle having 60 wins for his career currently.

As a fan of KFB, his season was udderly dreadful, especially after June and onwards.

I think with the new Gen-7 car and with how many winners there are, it's gonna be a test of skill without a win to get in the playoffs

Good one

Liked the music in this one

It's been a terrible season for Kyle, since 2020 he already looked weak. The departure of M&M'S and the rise of Ty Gibbs generated a domino effect that would end his career at JGR and I am not surprised that there has been sabotage by the coach in order to put the grandson in his place.

Well over 60? It's exactly 60. Plus, only 56 came with JGR.

Saw this one coming

He almost won gateway and coke 600 don't forget

Can you do a Bad Season Video on Dale Jarrett’s 2003 season

:( he has been my favorite driver for soo long… gonna miss him in the #18 M&Ms machine, hope this year gets better for him. Although him winning the final race at Auto Club is definitely a great accomplishment.

Bad Seasons: Brad Keselowski 2022

Without the playoffs he would have finished 10th in points, and considering how his season started I'd call this season more of a collapse than a bad one. But that's just me.

I'm one of those that has always been it awe of Kyle's talent, not so much of his attitude. That being said, I hope he kicks butt in 2023.

4 laps down at Martinsville, rwr cars don't even do that

One of the greatest videos in the history of KZfaq. Your crown, Sir 👑

Good seasons: Ross Chastain 2022

This video and season gives me grave depression.

NASCAR Rumble PS1 background music!!!!!!!! I like it!!!!!

Let's go kyle busch let's get a CHAMPIONSHIP in 2021

I have an new series idea for your channel. “Nascar what if” the first video would be what if Aj Allmendinger wasn’t suspended back in 2012 and lost his ride in the 22

I hope you've got Bad Seasons: Kyle Busch 2024 in the works cause that'll take months to compile all the clips
