Post the victory burnouts, the winningest driver in the realm of NASCAR Truck Series exited his car and opened up to a reporter about his stint at Atlanta.

Busch's message was posted on FOX's X (formerly Twitter) account:

"You got to have guys behind you that are willing to work with you and [Ty] Majeski was that guy today for me. I wanted to get us all [Spire Motorsports teammates] on the bottom that time."

The 65x Truck Series winner added:

"We did, we drove right up to the front, and then I was going to try to control both lanes. [As] soon as I pulled out to the top, the bottom went away."
