Disappointment plagues Kyle Busch
Busch’s barren run in the Cup Series this season continues 20 races into the season. This ties his worst run without a win in 12 years at Joe Gibbs Racing. The last time he went so many races without a victory was in 2017.
Busch drove his car into the garage where someone from Goodyear met him. A frustrated Busch said, “Just go home” as the team discussed the incident on the radio.
Speaking to NBCSN after the race, Busch said, “Just going down the backstretch there and about halfway down the backstretch I felt it go flat and tried to get slowed down enough without taking everybody else running over me behind me down the straightaway.”
It’s still 2020, says Busch towards unfortunate season

“I don’t know, I think there’s a replay of another Pedigree car here a few years ago that blew a right-front tire for absolutely no reason too. Seems to be our luck with the Pedigree car here at New Hampshire,” Busch added.
“Sorry to all of our fans and all the Pedigree folks. It’s still 2020,” he further added.
