Without a shadow of a doubt, Kyle Busch is one of the best NASCAR drivers in history. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has two Cup Series championships under his name, which don’t really do justice to the level of talent and skill he has behind the wheel.

But the things that do justice, to some extent, are the statistics. And not just in the Cup Series, but even in the Truck Series.

Take, for instance, the statistic of him winning a Truck Series race that dates back to 2012. Interestingly though, it is a stat that could end this season only. This is simply because Busch hasn’t won a Truck race so far this season.

And the one chance he’ll have to win this year will be in Sonoma next weekend.

“This car is worse in traffic than the previous car. I feel like all the underbody stuff is not at all what we anticipated it to be,” said Busch.

“I’ve been highly politicking to just let us take all the underbody off and let us go make a couple of runs with that and see what we can figure out with that,” he said as he argued that doing so, will save the team owners “a heck of a lot of money“.
