NASCAR: 5 Lessons Learned From Bristol

Nothing Good Comes From Bad-Mouthing Your Team

Kyle Busch led more than half of the race at Bristol, but a broken part in his car would send him spinning into the middle of the track. Justin Allgaier eventually collided into Busch, ending his day and sending the 18 to the garage.

After his incident, Busch had some harsh words for him team, clearly frustrated by the broken part in his car.

"“We’ve been having parts failures here. So it’s something we got to address an fix. I’m really tired of losing races here with parts falling apart.”"

He also wasn’t pleased with Allgaier, and had harsher words for him, but the real issue to look at is the one Busch seems to have with his team.

Of course it’s frustrating having a fast car and to lead laps only to have something break and cost you the race, but it’s not like Busch was racing for a spot into the Chase. This is also an issue that might have been better off behind closed doors and not something said publicly.

How will the 18 team feel about their driver moving forward? Will there be some resentment? There is no denying that the 18 group has been fantastic this season, it’s why Busch has four wins, but if he wants to win another championship, he’ll need his team behind him.

Speaking out publicly won’t help and if problems like this continue Kyle Busch would be better off waiting until he gets back to his trailer to say something.
