DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kyle Busch hasn’t yet won a Daytona 500 — and the all-time great NASCAR driver provided a colorful explanation as to why.
The two-time Cup Series champion, when prompted by a question from a reporter in the Daytona International Speedway media center on Wednesday, said that determining a winner for “NASCAR’s Super Bowl” is “definitely circumstantial” based on today’s style of racing.
“I think the whole thing kind of changed, I don’t know, 2012-13ish, when it just became a complete disaster and a total wreck-fest at the end,” Busch said. “Before that, I felt like there were times when there were some good races, some good racing. You had to have a fast car. You had to have a good-handling car. You know, you had to put yourself at the right spot at times. It was a bit of a chess match.”
