After RCR move, Kyle Busch expects to 'come right out of the gate and get going and be fast right away'

After ending his 15-year-long tenure with Joe Gibbs Racing, two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch is set to start his new racing journey with his new team Richard Childress Racing, driving the #8 Chevrolet Camaro. The 37-year-old driver confirmed his new ride in September when he announce he will join RCR.

A few weeks away from turning the calendar in a big way, Busch spoke about his move and his expectations for the 2023 season with his new team in a recent interview with NBC Sports.

Busch said:

“I expect to come right out of the gate and get going and be fast right away. I hope that comes to fruition and starts at the Clash. Last year, (Tyler) Reddick qualified second and blew my doors off in the first 15 laps of the race and drove away and had a big lead, and then they ended up breaking, and I inherited the lead. Then (Joey) Logano ended up beating me, and Austin Dillon finished third."

He continued:

"I feel like there’s a really good sense of a baseline to be able to go out there and be fast and competitive right out of the gate and look good like we need to. I don’t think it will take much time. Fast cars cure all.”

Kyle Busch is an experienced and successful driver who has competed in the NASCAR Cup Series since 2004. Richard Childress Racing will be his third Cup team after spending five years with Hendrick Motorsports and 15 years with Joe Gibbs Racing. Last year, Busch started the season in relatively good form and will look to start with a bang again and win the 2023 Championship with RCR.
