Kyle Busch on brutal stretch of recent races: ‘I don’t have faith in anybody’
Kyle Busch is currently in the middle of the worst stretch of his two-decade NASCAR Cup Series career.
Not only is Busch riding a career-long 42-race winless streak, but more recently, he’s posted five DNFs in the past seven races. Busch has been on the wrong side of several on-track incidents where other drivers have taken him out and at this point, he’s officially lost faith in the rest of the field’s ability to race clean.

“I don’t have faith in any of them,” Busch said on “The Pat McAfee Show” Friday. “… I mean, I’ve been wrecked five out of the last seven races by somebody, so I don’t have faith. Maybe I’m just slow and I’m in the way and they know I’m slow, so I’m an easy guy to pass, so they just wanna knock me out.”
Kyle Busch calls Corey LaJoie a ‘liar,’ threatens ‘payback is coming’
The latest incident took place during this past Sunday’s race at Pocono off the Lap 120 restart when Busch blocked Corey LaJoie on the bottom heading into Turn 1. LaJoie fell below the apron and them came back up the racetrack and dumped Busch. LaJoie said earlier this week it wasn’t his intention to clip Busch, but obviously, that’s what happened. Five other cars were involved in the wreck, which Busch broke down from his perspective.
“We were on a restart, we’re all kind of fanning out at Pocono down the front straightaway. … So, I’m over to the right, I just shoot off the screen and that’s Corey to my inside,” Busch said. “And I was blocking him, but we’re already — I’m five-wide and you’ll see down here at the bottom right of the screen, the yellow line starts coming up and Corey’s like, ‘well I gotta back on the racetrack.’ Instead of just blending in behind me and making sure he doesn’t crash the whole field, he just clips me. That’s just like stupid. What are we doing. We’re going 190 miles an hour into that corner and we’re going to wreck each other?”
Busch called LaJoie a “liar” for repeatedly changing his explanation and said, “payback is coming.”
“He texted me and then he called me,” Busch said. “I didn’t even reach back out because he changed his story four times, so I’m like, ‘you’re just a liar. You wrecked me.’ I get it. It’s fine. Payback is coming.”
