@kennethfox7531 9 ай бұрын

True, but he just seems like he isn't as passionate about racing anymore. Selling his truck team was a shock. Seems like he is less committed to his own racing and looking towards the future with Brexton. After his contract is over as RCR, it would not shock me one bit to see him retire. He is not in equipment good enough to win a championship and he isn't getting any younger.

@cammacisaac9966 9 ай бұрын

You've gotta wonder what the culture is like at JGR. When Tony drove there we all know what he was like but then once he left he had a bit of an attitude change and became more respected. Don't get me wrong there were still flashs of old Tony but they seemed to come from a different place and ppl respected it more. Im seeing the same thing with Kyle already. Hell he's been my guy to hate for years and I was happy when he got his first win at RCR.

@DArkaisGaming 9 ай бұрын

For YEARS, I did not like Busch. I thought his personality was terrible, Sportsmanship was terrible. But something started clicking the older I got, and realized a way to look past what you see on the track. I looked further into how they are people all the same on and off the track, and watching the Peacock series last year and seeing how KB has really worked o himself for the better and seeing how great of a person he really is. I can proudly say, Busch is someone I can root for now.

Rather than ignore me or be rude, he said “Heck yeah! Absolutely.” Dude was awesome! Totally unexpected at the time but I definitely went from booing him to cheering for him.

Whatever transpired during the 2020 season and subsequent crew chief swap on the 18 was the beginning of the end of that relationship. They always say free advice is always worth the price you pay. I am glad that he has found a home at RCR and build something a race team up again much like he did with the 18 team, only now with the 8 team.

@johnthechoochooaddict796 9 ай бұрын

In my opinion, I think the reason why Busch left was because his performance at JGR was just decaying and it was very noticeable in 2020. Honestly, it was probably for the best to just leave the team and not let his performance continue to suffer. It was also for the best that the 18 was retired especially after the passing of Coy Gibbs. In conclusion, it's probably for the best that we just leave the 18 car alone and let Ty Gibbs create his own legacy.

@JustGenius2001 9 ай бұрын

No offense but when I think of the #54, I think of Kyle, why? He won a lot of races with that number before Little Ty did.
