Kyle Busch leaves NASCAR Cup Series race due to crash
Posted : 07 August 2023
During the FireKeepers Casino 400, which was rescheduled for a Monday finish due to persistent rain, Busch found himself in a competitive situation with Ryan Blaney for the 10th place. In the midst of racing alongside Blaney's No. 12 Team Penske Ford, Busch's No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet made contact with Blaney's car. This contact caused Busch to lose control while navigating Turns 1 and 2 of the track.
Following the incident, Busch expressed his views on the intensity of racing in the current era: "They all run hard. They all want to race to crash and, you know, I tried to make a move and in the old days, guys who you're racing, they let you go and have that spot and work for it later, but this day and age it's completely different. So I got a guy that ran on my outside and took the air off."
As a result of the crash, Busch's No. 8 Chevy sustained significant damage upon impacting the outer retaining wall. Subsequently, he drove his car to the garage and retired from the race, having completed only 14 laps out of the scheduled 200.
When the race concludes on Monday, Busch will be attributed with a last-place finish, marking the second occurrence of such a result in the past four weeks. This outcome also contributes to Busch's total of five Did Not Finish (DNF) races in the 2023 season.
