NASCAR’s return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway last weekend was a homecoming for local heroes Kyle and Kurt Busch, but both Vegas natives had awful days at the track on Sunday.
Kyle Busch’s weekend opened on a high note, as he dominated the Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race on Friday night, and then earned pole position due to owner points after qualifying was rained out on Saturday.
Kyle Busch was forced to the back of the field to start the race, though, as several Toyota cars were penalized for failing pre-race inspection due to an issue with the nose. He fought his way up into the top ten by the third stage, but battled an ill-handling race car and dropped back in the field. NASCAR’s Radioactive compilation revealed that Busch was furious inside the car.

“Our cars suck. Gone from sixth to eleventh. Cool! [Expletive] awesome!”
Kyle Busch also sounded off on lap cars that impeded his progress.
“They are so stupid! They don’t even know when to get out of the way when there’s a guy’s on the bottom of them.”
Kurt Busch, meanwhile, also wasn’t happy with the setup of his car, and finished 25th.
“Plowing! Plowing tight! It’s a [expletive] joke.”
The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Fontana for the Auto Club 400 this weekend.
