Being frustrated is part of life, and hence, part of NASCAR too. But while some drivers swallow their frustration and keep it within themselves, there are those who don’t shy away from expressing it as frustration is meant to be expressed, ideally. You don’t need to guess which category Kyle Busch falls under.

During the recent Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver let his frustration be known to everyone, and particularly to his team.

The #18 driver took his car and appeared to be wall riding it because his pit wall made an error in a call that pushed him into dirty air.

For Kyle Busch at Nashville, it wasn’t a good day.

“These [Next Gen cars] are the biggest pieces of s**t in traffic,” he said about the new car.

Even David Wilson, the Toyota Racing Development President described recently how he hasn’t been more frustrated than he is with the fact that they went from some of their best races, Kansas, Charlotte, and Gateway in which they led the most laps and had dominating cars to Sonoma, the race where they had their worst finish since 2007.

“There’s never been more anticipation and anxiety going to the track next week because you haven’t been there before (with the Next Gen) and because you really don’t know what to expect,” he added.

With that said, do you also think the Next Gen car is indeed a step back for the sport? Or is it a case of being patient with the massive change that is this car?
