Just a day ago, Kyle Busch stood on Victory Lane at Atlanta Motor Speedway, celebrating yet another dominant win in the Truck Series. His No. 7 Spire Motorsports truck led 80 of the 135 laps, out-dueling Stewart Friesen in a thrilling photo finish. Busch controlled the race from the front, executing his strategy flawlessly. “Just trying to make sure I stayed as far forward as I possibly could,” Busch said.
Fast forward to the next day, and Busch’s mood had taken a complete U-turn. Frustration had replaced his calm race-day approach. Despite starting from sixth, Busch failed to get into the top 10 and found himself in unwanted drafts. Struggling to make any gains a move by Cup Series rookie Carson Hocevar made things worse for the RCR star. So much so that Rowdy threatened to wreck the entire field. He blasted on his team radio and complained about No.77’s unwanted move.

Kyle Busch started the Ambetter Health 400 in a solid position, rolling off from sixth place. But as the laps clicked by, things started to unravel. The handling on his No. 8 Chevrolet was off, making it difficult to keep pace with the leaders. Adding to his frustration, Hocevar, racing hard on the inside, sent his car up the track and into Busch’s Lane. The move forced the No. 8 to check up, breaking Busch’s momentum and dropping him out of the top 10.
It wasn’t the first time Hocevar had made such a move, and Busch had had enough. “Go tell that 77 he’s done that same f—— move ten times. I don’t care. I’ll f——wreck him,” Busch fumed on team radio. It was vintage Rowdy—unfiltered, furious, and ready to take matters into his own hands. But it wasn’t just Hocevar’s move that had Busch seeing red.
His frustration had been building throughout the race as he was struggling with his No.8 Chevy. Over the radio, Kyle Busch didn’t hold back, “It’s like you have zero shock on this thing. It is not held onto the racetrack mechanically for the aero benefit.” With an ill-handling car and Hocevar’s aggressive driving costing him spots, Busch found himself buried in the field. At the restart of Stage 2, he found himself out of the top 20.
“Go tell that 77 he’s done that same f*cking move 10 times. I don’t care if I wreck the whole f*cking field, I’m over him. He’s f*cking douchebag, I’m gonna wreck his ass.” – KFB on Hocevar https://t.co/Jh0TNwAeej
