Richard Childress Weighs In on Kyle Busch's Nashville Spin With Austin Dillon Advice

Kyle Busch joined Richard Childress last weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway and announced that he had signed an extension to continue racing for the organization through the 2026 season. Shortly after the announcement, the No. 8 car had a steering issue and failed to make a lap during practice.

The two-time Cup Series champion qualified 24th and finished 15th in the race.

A week later at Nashville was an improvement – sort of. He at least made it onto the track for practice. Unfortunately, during the session the 40-year-old lost control of his Chevrolet and went for a spin.

“Happened to just get loose over the bump,” crew chief Randall Burnett said over the team radio.

“I was loose before the bump,” Busch corrected. “Spinning out on entry. It was all on the right rear through the corner, and then it hit the bump and spun out.”

“Copy that,” the crew chief responded.

A short time later, team owner Richard Childress chimed in on the conversation.

“Hit anything Derek or just spun?” Childress questioned spotter Derek Kneeland about the No. 8 driver's incident.

“No, just half spun,” Kneeland responded. “He caught it. Went straight through the grass.”

“Yeah, Austin (Dillon) said when he hit it, you hit it wrong, it'll just turn sideways on you,” the 79-year-old relayed.

Childress listening and commenting on the team radio isn’t anything new. He’s done it for years. For Busch, he knows this. And he also understands after last week’s news, he’ll get to hear it for at least a couple more years.
