For all drivers, every race and every season is a new challenge. But 2022 was just something else for Kyle Busch. It posed to be one of the most difficult seasons in the career of the former Joe Gibbs Racing driver. And now, he will want to redeem himself.

Busch has been a part of the Cup Series for over two decades now. He has run more than 600 races, and won 2 titles—these are things everyone is aware of. Everyone also knows he hasn’t been the most universally supported driver in these years.

Even though Rowdy Nation is a vibrant and dedicated fanbase of the driver, they have a very large opposition too. But in all these years of racing, Busch has learned to block out all that noise.

After a season full of trials and tribulations, the Richard Childress Racing driver is prepping for his debut for the team. He may have left JGR, but his detractors have followed—and they will continue to follow him, no matter where he goes.

But he knows very well what to do in that case. His latest Instagram post showed just that. The post captioned with “If u know, u know 🤷🏻‍♂️” is seemingly a clap back against all those haters.

Busch definitely has the ability to garner wins in the Cup Series. Only time can tell if RCR has the equipment to back him up.

The bitter divorce between JGR and Busch might have been a treat to relish for his haters, but it wasn’t a pleasant environment to be in for the driver. He did manage to put that behind him. But what about Denny Hamlin?

Just like Busch, Hamlin has been part of JGR for a long time. In fact, he’s been with the team since before Busch joined. But with only a year remaining on his contract, questions have started popping up with regard to his future.

Hamlin said in a recent interview, “I’m confident that as long as I’m racing, I wanna be with JGR and they wanna be with me. Certainly, I think that these talks are going to be ongoing for a few months.”

The lines didn’t comfort fans, as they recalled how confident Busch was at the start of 2022. Things didn’t pan out the way he would’ve thought, however. Hamlin might not say it out loud, but with negotiations going on for so long, he might be walking on thin ice. Do you think he’ll stay beyond 2023?
