During the podcast, veteran NASCAR spotter Brett Griffin discussed the issue of RCR and Tyler Reddick. After signing in Busch, RCR decided to give Reddick’s charter to Busch and have announced their plans of acquiring a third charter for Reddick in the 2023 season. This is because the #8 is one of the best cars that RCR runs currently.

However, as compared to Kyle Busch’s #18 at the Joe Gibbs Racing, the #8 would not be an easy ride for Busch. While talking about the privilege Busch has had over the years Freddie Kraft said; “Kyle Busch has never really had to do more with less. He has always been in the best sh*t in the garage.”

Although the co-host of the podcast, TJ Majors didn’t agree with Kraft. Instead, he pointed out; “That’s wrong. You’re wrong. When he started his Xfinity team?” But to Kraft’s rescue, Brett Griffin interjected. He asked Majors “But how long did that last?”

Glad that Griffin gets his point, Kraft continued; “That’s what I am saying. The second he didn’t have what he felt like he needed, he quit.” Further he explained that Busch has always been with the best teams in the sport. May it be JGR or Hendrick Motorsports.
