Kyle Busch proposes restrictions on NASCAR rear camera usage

Kyle Busch — who has competed in the NASCAR Cup Series for more than two decades — shares his perspective on the controversial use of rear cameras in Next Gen cars.

The Next Gen car era has brought significant changes to the racing sport — from single-nut design and five-speed transmission to independent rear suspension.

The presence of rear cameras has become a topic of debate as some drivers utilize them for aggressive blocking tactics — a strategy considered overly advantageous.

“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,” Busch stated during a press conference.

Busch expressed his preference for using a spotter over the rear camera — a sentiment also supported by Dale Earnhardt Jr. through social media.
