Overview
- Kyle Busch’s No. 8 team, which RCR reorganized Monday, will be led by Andy Street effective immediately for the rest of the season, with Jim Pohlman shifting to a competition leadership role.
- The change follows Sunday’s 10th-place run at Talladega, Busch’s first top-10 of 2026, even as he sits 27th in points and has not won a Cup race since June 2023.
- Street brings more than two decades at RCR, served as performance director this year, and worked with Busch late in 2025, including a top-five finish in the Phoenix finale.
- Pohlman arrived from JR Motorsports after a 2024 O’Reilly Series title with Justin Allgaier, but his pairing with Busch lasted 10 Cup races after on‑radio frustration surfaced at events like Bristol.
- Texas Motor Speedway next Sunday offers the first read on the reset for a team and organization that have logged only one top-10 across the first 10 races.
