The gamble is finally paying dividends for Richard Childress. If one looks back in retrospect, one will surely remember the uncertainty that loomed over Kyle Busch. With M&M withdrawing its sponsorship and Joe Gibbs Racing letting off one of their star drivers, all Kyle Busch wanted was a seat for the ongoing next season.

And what followed next is straight out of a fairy tale. By moving to Richard Childress Racing, the No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro driver assuredly put to rest all controversies that had arisen due to the unexpected move. Moreover, what seemed like an unlikely pairing, boss Busch has already fetched three victories in the ongoing season. And is willing to continue doing so as NASCAR enters the Monster Mile on Sunday.

Even the NASCAR analysts from Skewcar are hopeful of this fact as they reveal their wagering ahead of the race in New Hampshire.

Kyle Busch is on a higher pedestal in the RCR driver roster than Crayon 301

After two consecutive weeks of turmoil, NASCAR is ready to fly to the Northeast part of the country to race on one of the most iconic tracks on the calendar. With progressive banking, the 1.058-mile oval, Crayon 301, is set to be the deciding factor before the drivers enter the postseason. While the odds are highly skewered towards HMS and William Byron, as he claimed his fourth victory of the season.

Kyle Busch, who stands just behind William Byron in terms of victories, has already won on the tracks of the Monster Mile. Speaking on the probabilities of the drivers having an edge, the analysts at Skewcar divulged how Kyle Busch has an advantage over his fellow drivers.

Speaking to Larry Mack, one of the analysts recently said, “Members with the most wins at New Hampshire, Kevin Harvick got 4 of them, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin, each with 3 brackets.”

“Keselowski, and Joey Logano each with two, and we talked about Kyle Busch in the zone he is in this year. He has got those three wins of course. He got one at Fontana, Talladega, and St.Louis,” he added.

Mack also asserted, “It’s almost like a tale of two tapes because if you look at the first 10 races they won race number two at Fontana, then they won at Talladega, but they only had one other top 5 finish, second in Austin. But when you look at the last seven races, the win at St.Louis, seven consecutive top ten finishes.”

With several top 5, it’s the longest streak that Kyle has had a top 10 finish since 2019 and for RCR you have to go back to 2014 when it took three drivers to get 10 consecutive top 10s. So right now RCR, the 8 car, and Kyle Busch are both doing exactly what they need to do,” the analyst added.

However, he does not deny the fact, Richard Childress is hands-on when it comes to churning out results for the team. Talking to Bob Pockrass, Busch revealed, “A little bit was sort of the engineering side, looking at people and who he’s talking to and who they want to go after and try to find some guys to kind of bring on — whether it’s the Chevy side, or whether it’s the RCR technical side […]”

“He has his pulse on a few guys that are both inside NASCAR and outside NASCAR to just try to bring in and make the group stronger.”
