Kyle Busch disses Talladega after loss: 'We go to a real racetrack next week' image

Another race, another disappointing, down-to-the-wire finish for Kyle Busch.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. passed Busch on the final lap Sunday to rip the checkered flag out of his hands in the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Busch is still searching for his first NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series win in 2017.

After the race, Busch threw shade at Talladega, the longest NASCAR track and the one with the steepest banks.

"We go to a real racetrack (Kansas) next week and [we'll] try to win there," he said.

Busch is clearly frustrated. He had a dominant car at Martinsville in early April but finished second. In March, he was leading in Phoenix by four seconds with five laps to go until a caution robbed him of a win. Just a week before that at Las Vegas, he got into a physical altercation with Joey Logano after Logano got loose and hit the rear of Busch's car, causing Busch to spin onto pit road at the end of the race.
