Kyle Busch is NOT a Fan of the New Chase Format

Kyle Busch is already pushing back on NASCAR’s return to a Chase-style format, and his comments open up a much bigger conversation about parity, power teams, and where veterans like Busch really stand in today’s Cup Series. Between his SiriusXM remarks, the reality of the Next Gen era, and an uncertain future at RCR, this video breaks down why Busch sounds less frustrated and more realistic than ever. If you’re trying to understand what the new format actually changes, and what it doesn’t, this one lays it out cleanly. It also digs into why this season could quietly define the final chapter of Kyle Busch’s career.

• Why does Kyle Busch believe NASCAR moved away from this format for a reason?
• Is Talladega really a championship killer, or just an easy excuse?
• Can teams outside Hendrick, Gibbs, and Penske realistically contend in a Chase?
• And what does Busch’s mindset say about his future at RCR, or elsewhere?

The discussion goes beyond one radio quote and looks at recent playoff history, stage points, pit road mistakes, and how close the field really is in the Next Gen era. It also explores whether Busch’s comments signal frustration, acceptance, or a driver already thinking about his next move. With free agency looming and expectations rising, this season may say more about Kyle Busch than any year in recent memory. Whether the ceiling is a return to the Chase or the floor drops out entirely, the margin for error is thinner than ever.
