Kyle Busch claimed he felt "like a broken record" as he reacted to his 15th-place finish in the longest race of the NASCAR season at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The 40-year-old driver lamented countless issues with the No. 8 Chevrolet throughout the weekend of the Coca-Cola 600. He explained, as quoted by NBC Sports:
"I feel like a broken record saying another difficult night for our No. 8 Chevrolet team. The weekend started out with a steering issue. We got the pump changed and were able to make a qualifying lap but had to change the rack and go to the rear for the start of the race on Sunday.
"We were tight in dirty air. Crew chief Randall Burnett made some changes and got it running better when I heard a loud pop. Something broke, and we're still not sure what it was.

"From that point on, we were just out of it. We tried a strategy call late in the race, but we had an issue on pit road so we weren't really able to capitalize on that. I want to thank the family of Fireman Jeffrey M Svoboda for allowing us to honor him this weekend."
This comes after Busch signed a contract extension with Richard Childress Racing, which will see him continue with the team through to the end of 2026. Commenting on the extended deal, Richard Childress explained:
"I love a driver that doesn't like to worked hard. We've got some exciting things coming up.
"He and I are both alike in one area—we don't like to lose. We want to win races. I still think Kyle will win him a championship, and we're going to have it at RCR. That's our plans."
