Kyle Busch holds the record for the longest consecutive winning streak in NASCAR Cup history. In the 2024 season, both Kyle Busch and Richard Childress Racing have been struggling. They entered the season with hopes of redemption after a performance dip in the second half of the previous season, despite starting strong with three wins. However, the No. 8 Chevy team has not proven to be a serious contender for victory this year.
Kyle Busch’s streak of at least one win in each of the last 19 Cup seasons, since his debut with Hendrick Motorsports in 2005, is now in jeopardy. With the team’s current form, it is uncertain if the winning streak will continue this season, and the veteran driver is concerned about it.
While Kyle Busch is not overly worried about his playoff chances, he desires a race win for his personal satisfaction. He does not regret selling KBM, which could have been a distraction during this time.
During an interview with Fox Sports, Kyle Busch expressed his stress over the possibility of his winning streak coming to an end. He acknowledged that his focus is not solely on the playoffs and emphasized the importance of securing a victory for himself and RCR throughout the year.
Kyle Busch highlighted the fact that his 19-year winning streak was achieved through consistent performance and fast cars, despite competing with various teams and different crews.
The upcoming race at Gateway presents the best opportunity for the RCR driver to secure a win. He has historically performed well at this track since the beginning of the Next-Gen era and hopes to be competitive once again.
