Kyle Busch Extends Contract with Richard Childress Racing Through 2026
Kyle Busch will continue driving the No. 8 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing (RCR) through the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season after the team exercised an option in his contract. Despite a winless streak in 2024—the longest in his career—Busch and RCR remain committed to improving performance, with Busch noting recent progress in consistently competing near the top-10 and Childress expressing confidence in Busch's potential to win another championship. Busch acknowledged that rule changes impacted the team's speed and competitiveness, but he sees ongoing engineering and teamwork efforts to regain consistent race pace from start to finish. At 40 and entering his 20th Cup season, Busch has not contemplated retirement, sharing a long-term vision to race alongside his 10-year-old son, Brexton, in Truck Series events when he becomes eligible. The partnership between Busch and RCR, which began in 2023 after his 15-year tenure at Joe Gibbs Racing, aims to leverage Busch's experience to elevate the team's competitive standing and chase race wins in upcoming seasons. Both Busch and Childress emphasize their shared drive to win and the strategic steps being taken to enhance the team's performance.
