“The law of averages eventually hits you”: Brad Keselowski weighs in on Kyle Busch’s dismal season in 2024

With Kyle Busch going through a rough spell, Brad Keselowski recently shared his thoughts on the RCR driver. Keselowski, who ended his three year winless spell earlier this season at Darlington, opened up on whether he relates to the two-time Cup champion.

During a media availability session on Friday, Keselowski was asked if he can empathize with Kyle Busch's ongoing difficult phase. Busch has zero wins and only two top-five finishes so far this season.

"Yeah it’s obviously not a fun thing to experience yourself, so you do look out and recognize that it’s probably not a lot of fun for him, too. The series and sports in general are always full of ebbs and flows. For the most part of his career, Kyle Busch has done a fantastic job, at least in the Cup series, of avoiding those down years. The law of averages eventually hits you to some degree and he’s going through that now," Keselowski said (via Speedway Digest).

The RFK Racing driver also mentioned how Kyle Busch took him by surprise last year. Busch moved to Richard Childress Racing in 2023 and won three races in his first season with the team.

"I thought their year last year would look more like this year and their year last year would be like this year. It would be this year where they won multiple races. So I don’t know, I don’t have my finger on the pulse of what’s going on with his team or with that organization, but I know that’s not a fun experience. It’s a true test of character of how you come through that," he added.

Kyle Busch opens up on when he is likely to retire from NASCAR

Statistically, Kyle Busch is one of the most successful drivers in the history of NASCAR. To go with his two Cup Series titles, Busch has also won 231 races across the three tiers of NASCAR, more than any other driver.

But there's one thing that Busch wants to experience before he retires: racing with his son, Brexton.

In a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the former Joe Gibbs Racing driver said:

"I’ve got another five, six years in me at least. That’s about the time my boy will be old enough. He’ll get here. … He’ll be 16. He won’t be in the top series when he’s 16, he’ll be in the trucks."

It's worth mentioning that the most recently retired driver, Kevin Harvick, announced his farewell from the sport at the age of 48. Kyle Busch is currently 39.

It'll be interesting to see how Busch bounces back from his disappointing run this year. Given that he's currently 18th in the standings, Busch will probably have to win a race to stand a chance of competing for the championship.
