Will Kyle Busch’s Recent Struggles On Short Tracks Continue This Weekend At North Wilkesboro?
4 months agoKyle Busch will start 14th in Sunday's All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Entering All-Star weekend, Busch has three top-10 finishes over the last five races, which shows that there is some momentum trending his way. However, despite some recent success, don't look for that trend to continue this weekend, as the 39-year-old has struggled on short tracks since making the switch to Richard Childress Racing last season. In the nine races on tracks that are less than a mile in length (exhibition races excluded), KFB has just one top-10 finish, with an average overall finish of just 19.8. Even more alarming is how badly the former 2x Cup champion struggled in this race, on this track, last season. After starting 14th in the 2023 All-Star Race, Busch finished 22nd, which was third to last. Given his recent struggles on short tracks and the struggles he had on this track in particular, it is recommended that you limit your exposure to the No. 8 this weekend in DFS.
