Kyle Busch reveals what motivates him during career-worst slump

Brexton Busch is becoming quite the driver in his own right and seems destined to carry on the Busch name on a big stage in the near future. 

As much as Busch wants to show his son what it takes to be one of the best, he's also still trying to win for himself and his No. 8 Richard Childress Racing team. 

"This is my life, our life, everything we've known," Busch said. 

Kyle Busch sees hope in Austin Dillon

Busch's struggles with RCR are well documented, but it's not as if he's the only driver trying to find his footing. His teammate, Austin Dillon, is only 25th in the standings and is also yet to finish inside the top 10, though Busch said he likes where the No. 3 team is compared to his own. 

"I gotta give credit where credit's due, Austin and [crew chief] Richard Boswell are clicking right now, and they're able to get the most out of their race cars," Busch said. "They're smart with what they're doing and being able to have all the right stuff. I feel like we're a little behind the 8 ball on the No. 8 car a little bit."

Busch will look for career win No. 64 in Sunday's Jack Link's 500 at Talladega. He won the 2023 spring race at the track. 

Dillon and Busch will start 18th and 34th, respectively, on Sunday afternoon.
