Kyle Busch has brought the experience and talent Richard Childress Racing when they signed him. Now the team has its sights on more.
When Kyle Busch joined Richard Childress Racing this season, the team knew that having the two-time Cup Series champion on its roster brought with it a certain reality of heightened expectations. If the team didn’t produce results, the likelihood is that it would have nothing to do with the driver and would be on the team itself.That’s one of the primary reasons that signing Busch was such a priority for RCR.
In his last three years at JGR, Busch had largely struggled, winning four total races and failing to advance to the Championship 4 round of the playoffs. A far cry from the driver who from 2015-19 won two titles, a series-best 27 races and never failed to qualify for the Championship 4. “Just how you perceive data, look at data, what data you really need,” Busch said of the learnings he’s brought with him. “What’s important after practices, after races, things like that. That’s the biggest thing from there. They’ve got a good process and procedure of how they do stuff and how they build cars, and I didn’t see anything in that . But they’ve done a really good job of taking in some of my ideas and being able to implement that.”There are other ways Busch has ingratiated himself.
Busch has made it a point to develop a strong relationship with crew chief Randall Burnett. They’ve bonded over having young sons who race, with their respective families often spending time together at a small dirt track in the Charlotte area. Busch entered the playoffs as the fifth seed, and an 11th-place finish Sunday at Darlington moved him 20 points above the cutline with two Round 1 races remaining.
