Kyle Larson took the win at Kansas, but not everyone’s celebrating. Despite notching his third victory of the season and tying Dale Jarrett on the all-time wins list, Larson dominated so thoroughly that the race turned into a total snoozefest. Fans expected a Kansas showdown, but they got a one-man show, and Kyle Busch wasn’t shy about voicing what many were thinking.
- Busch didn’t hold back, saying the cars “suck so bad” after another stale race weekend
- Larson swept every stage and led over 200 laps, leaving zero suspense on the table
- Kansas, one of the most beloved mile-and-a-halfs, had a disappointing turnout and even worse action
- NASCAR’s current car is now under fire for failing at every track type, not just short tracks or road courses
From Bristol to Talladega to Texas and now Kansas, the last month has felt like a string of wasted Sundays. NASCAR’s top product isn’t delivering, and with the 2025 season locked in, the hope is for major changes by 2026. But can fans wait that long? The diffuser, the wide tires, the lack of horsepower—all of these are combined for races that look good on paper but fall flat in reality. Was Kansas the breaking point? Fans sure seem close.
