Kyle Busch is Falling Out of favor at RCR

Publication by EssentiallySports

April 11, 2026 | Edition #691

Hey NASCAR Fans,

We have an update for you...

As you'd have noticed, we recently gave our site a serious glow-up. And now, we're stoked to do the same with Lucky Dog on Track. 

This shift signifies us leveling up from a publishing house to a full-blown media platform. Think faster stories, richer video, and social-driven coverage delivered straight to you. 

For this, we've even rolled out a sleeker homepage, alongside this snazzy newsletter, that gets you to the good stuff faster, with way more video action on YouTube and Social.

If you're curious about the thinking behind it all, check out this short clip we put together. It's quick and shows how the new layout makes everything better.

Thanks for entering this all-new chapter with us. And, as always, we're eager to hear your thoughts on the new design!

Now onto the good part.

When Kyle Busch joined RCR, he was seen as the hero figure. The next Dale Earnhardt and one who can revive RCR’s winning legacy. Let’s just say, he hasn’t been able to make a dent so far with the No. 8 team. And, going by Richard Childress’ latest admission, Rowdy isn’t the number 1 anymore within the organization.

Even NASCAR is planning to approve Cleetus after a few races on short tracks.





Here we go again! The stage is set, and the leaderboards are already heating up. All you need to do is make the right picks using your NASCAR knowledge and participate in this challenge.

It’s simple: We’ve created a prediction form with questions about the race results. You’ll be guessing things like the race winner, top five finishers, and even specific race events. 

Each question has a designated point value. All you have to do is submit your answers before the race starts; once the checkered flag falls, we’ll tally the scores to see who reigns supreme.

Bragging rights are great, but winning is better. 

The reader who racks up the most points from their predictions will walk away with a $25 Amazon Gift Card! 

And there are even bigger rewards for consistent performers across the season.
