During the same video, Cindric asked Busch if he was aspiring to win the race at the Coca-Cola 600 this weekend. However, after witnessing the gloomy, rain-filled conditions, the two-time champion gave his thoughts regarding his expectations for the race.
Responding to Cindric’s question, Busch stated, “I don’t know. We’ll see. I was really hoping for more hot and slick than cold and rainy. So we kinda set up for the bumps being bad, and the bumps being rough, tryna take care of the tires. Hopefully, we can get going on this thing and get some racing in.” He concluded that his car had felt fast, but they just had to be “good on the long run.”
