In NASCAR, teams are always out there to get an advantage over the other teams. Although teams use a separate channel that only allows them to hear their drivers, it’s not a challenge to hear the radio of other teams. Hence, anyone can be a victim, besides Kyle Busch.

Now, surely, other teams can hear Kyle Busch’s radio too. But, the #18 is already a few steps ahead.

Recently, during the race at Nashville Superspeedway, Kyle Busch was on the team radio talking to his crew chief Ben Beshore. Of course, there is nothing unusual about talking to the crew chief. But, the interesting thing is the way they were talking.

The #18 driver was talking to his crew chief in code to avoid other teams finding out their strategy.

Ben Beshore (Crew Chief for the #18) said, “It’s nine to [laps] go right now. I was thinking Tennesse Titans”

To which Kyle Busch replied, “Need some M&Ms”

And Beshore responded with, “Yeah. 10-4. We got it.”

If you have any idea what they are talking about, let us know in the comments, because they surely succeeded in keeping it a secret.

The 0.625-mile-long, short track will feature racing again with late-model races, and especially the grassroots racing series. However, there is no news of it returning to NASCAR.

Although, Kyle Busch believes it should and he’s looking forward to it as he said, “It can be successful, and it can turn into something nice,” Busch said. “So I’m looking forward to it, if they put something there. I think it would be sweet.”
