The misery in 2024 continues for Kyle Busch and the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing team.
Busch was sitting fifth heading into the final lap of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, but he was sent for a ride by Ross Chastain in Turn 4 as he was attempting to make it back around to score his first top-five finish in his last six races.
However, Chastain overcooked the corner, and plowed into Busch’s No. 8 machine, which sent Busch spinning out of fifth.
Here is a look at the incident from Chastain’s onboard camera:

And here is one more look of the incident from Chase Elliott’s onboard. Elliott was just behind Busch and Chastain as the incident transpired:

As Busch recovered, it looked like he would score an 11th-place finish, but as he was closing in on the finish, his car sputtered as it ran out of fuel. He would limp the No. 8 zone Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to a 12th-place finish as Corey LaJoie got around him before he could coast past the finish line.

Can’t believe that no matter what, something seems to constantly happen to the # 8 Team, every weekend. Doesn’t matter Who, or What, just can’t get a break. I truly believe that He’s been handling it quite well. He’s going to catch a break, sooner or later.
It’s amazing that no one ever gets in trouble for the things they do to Bush I think it’s a bunch of crap that you do that to a two time champion and I’m a Dale Earnhardt fan
Busch hits more people than people hit him. Just a fact. Busch seriously deserves a dose of his own medicine
Chastain need be suspended for race that was deliberate .. scar car is a joke wen it come to right or wrong. This was wrong.
Bush is getting a taste of his own medicine from way back. what do they call it,,,,”payback is a bi#%h”
Yep,also watch that mouth.
