So when he was asked why he thinks he would win the Cup championship this season, Kyle Busch answered in how you would normally expect him to answer.

“I feel with my expertise and my feelings inside the racecar, being able to describe those things to the crew,” Busch said.

“(And) as long as the crew can do a good job wrapping their heads around everything I’m feeling and being able to adjust the racecar to make it better for me to give me the grip that I need, we’ll have good success.”  

“Pure talent” – When Kyle Busch used ‘pure wit’ on his own pit crew in 2018

Busch then went on to berate his truck’s front splitters and ranted how the “horrendous” splitters were the reason he couldn’t pass in traffic, how he couldn’t race alongside anyone, how he couldn’t even get within five truck lengths of his competitors.

“But somehow, someway, I was able to get back to the front,” Busch added.

“Had a blast.”
