The last thing the rest of the field needs is a motivated @KyleBusch with the idea he has to prove anything. Switching teams and a fresh start. Wouldn't be surprised if he peels off 6 wins minimum this year. Look back when he started with #JGR with 8. He's a baad man!

It is always great to see a driver’s fan base be so supportive of their driver despite them hitting a low. With Busch, we believe what he showed us during the Daytona 500 was just the prelude to what is about to come. There might be quite a few wins waiting for him this season.
Hopefully, that might be just enough for his redemption tour, after last year’s ugly divorce with JGR. Fans are certainly looking forward to seeing Rowdy perform at his best this season. Moreover, who knows we might even see him enter Championship 4. While that still remains speculation, this season is sure to charm us all.
