Kyle Busch has been racing in the NASCAR Cup Series for over 20 years, across four eras of race cars. With the arrival of each one came something that changed the sport in some way.
The Next Gen car has been no different, impacting the sport in many ways. It introduced a single-nut design, a five-speed transmission, an independent rear suspension, composite bodies that come from a supplier, a rear-facing camera, and so much more.
However, that camera has been a point of contention for some, as drivers have taken full advantage of it, using it to match every move by those chasing them, keeping them at bay with aggressive aero-blocking.
But is it too much help? When asked by reporter Jeff Gluck about it during a Saturday press conference, Busch offered his take: “I mean, us talking about it isn't going to change anything, right? But I would say that if you run the mirror, you don't get a spotter. If you want a spotter, then you don't get the mirror, the camera. So, pick one.”
As for which one Busch would choose, he would prefer to use a spotter over the rear camera. Dale Earnhardt Jr. chimed in on social media, saying that he would like to see the cameras go away as well.
