In his media availability on Saturday, Kyle Busch was vocal on a few topics. When asked what John Hunter Nemechek needs to get back to full-time NASCAR Cup Series racing, Busch fired back with, “This isn’t to be mean or rude or a bad word, but [Nemechek] needs six million bucks and he’ll be in a JGR Cup car next year,” Busch answered. “That’s all he needs.”
Busch says the NASCAR business model has made it where NASCAR is, “not a success game anymore. It’s a money game.”
Busch also says that he wishes there were no limitations on NASCAR Cup Series drivers in Truck and Xfinity because he would like to help his Kyle Busch Motorsports NASCAR Truck Series team diagnose the areas where they aren’t firing on all cylinders.
