I’d say probably, Busch does want out, but is locked behind a contract

I get the feeling he never wanted in but had no other choice.

@@johnhaas2523 I’m using “no other choice” loosely. I’m sure he could have signed to any lower level team that had space for him. But Kyle wanted money. RCR probably gave him the best option, and between RCR and SHR it’s a toss up of which one would perform better with him behind the wheel. So I think Kyle took the best remaining option.

I remember thinking Kyle Busch was going to bring that organization back to the top. But after how they treated Sheldon Creed and seeing their Cup program struggle with one of the best drivers ever, they need a full rebuild. The only real highlight is that their Xfinity Series program is solid. While they have not shown too much dominant speed outside of drafting tracks, they are at least relevant.

I don’t blame Busch for being frustrated and potentially wanting out, RCR is a team that’s a thing of the past. Haven’t felt truly competitive in years.

Maybe not Championship level, but they absolutely seemed to have turned a corner in 2022. 7 wins the last two seasons between Reddick, Busch and Dillon.

Something happened last August or so that killed that team, and there’s no specific indication what it was.

Definitely competitive Austin Dillon has more than one cup win which is very hard to do. Tyler Reddick had multiple wins and made a deep playoff run in an RC car. Kyle Busch got three wins last year in an RC car

remember that Austin Dillon was the one who brokered the meeting between Busch and Richard Childress. if Dillon steps away to join management elsewhere, all bets are off. RCR has two excellent prospects in Xfinity.

Don’t be f****** stupid and act like You don’t know who’s rumor to be driving the 3rd 22xl car.

i was hoping Kyle wouldve went to 23XI 2 years ago. Wouldve made sense for him to finish in a Toyota team. I think he realizes by now it was a mistake to go to RCR. When KB8 goes from sweeping Bristol to not even being on the lead lap, something is terribly wrong at RCR.
