The team has shown no signs of competitiveness this season.
Kyle Busch entered the race in Nashville with hopes of a strong performance to regain momentum. However, luck was not on his side as he was involved in a crash, just like in the previous three races. He was involved in a collision with other drivers, including Hendrick Motorsports.
Busch was hit by another car when he had nowhere to go. He also had another incident when Larson ran out of fuel in front of him, resulting in another crash. Busch’s wife expressed her disappointment on social media after the letdown.

Busch expressed frustration with the yellow flags at the end of the race and in overtime, as they affected his fuel strategy. On the final restart, he was in fourth place when Larson ran out of fuel, leaving him with no options.
