In 2020, Kyle Busch endured quite a forgettable Cup Series campaign. He failed to reach Victory Lane until the second-to-last race of the season. By then, he had already been eliminated from playoff contention, so the win mattered little.

Now, the 2019 Cup Series champion is looking for redemption for the new season.

Backing him up for the coming campaign is his new crew chief, Ben Beshore. The two have worked together before, clinching four Xfinity races in 2019.

“I have a whole new team essentially. The only guy that is the same is the car chief. Everybody else is different. I’ve got a whole new group of guys that I’ve got to learn, and I’ve got to teach them how I do things and what my system is and how I like stuff, where I had all of that for the past five years, six years.

“Just getting into a rhythm and getting into races and practices and stuff is where all that is learned. It’s just going to take a little bit of time.”

Now, Kyle Busch will be looking forward to the start of the new Cup Series season. However, he will have several obstacles in his path leading to the 2021 crown. Chief among them is reigning champion, Chase Elliott, with other contenders also waiting in the wings.
