Busch became the all-time winner in NASCAR Truck Series history with his victory last weekend at Atlanta, dominating the competition, including his pair of 18-year-old teammates at Kyle Busch Motorsports, Todd Gilliland and Burton.<\/span><\/p>\n

Busch had some tough talk for his teammates, in particular Gilliland, and pointed out they needed to perform in KBM equipment if they hoped to become a star in NASCAR one day. Neither has yet won a race driving for KBM.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKyle is the kind of guy that is hard on you, but he\u2019ll be hard on you to your face, too. It\u2019s not like that\u2019s the first time we\u2019ve heard that,\u201d Burton said Thursday after practice at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve heard that kind of stuff every meeting, every Monday morning when he comes in, he says, \u2018You need to do this better, you need to do that better.\u2019 If you can\u2019t handle that, then (KBM) is not the right place (for you).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s the best way to learn is you can\u2019t have anyone sugar coat it, it\u2019s how it is and he\u2019s right. We have to perform, that\u2019s what this sport is built on is performance and winning races. It\u2019s part of racing, man.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s how we get better \u2013 a little bit of tough love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Burton has had a strong start to the season. <\/span><\/p>\n

He opened the year with a victory in the ARCA Racing Series opener at Daytona and ran well in the Truck series opener at Daytona until he was caught up in a late-race wreck. <\/span><\/p>\n

Burton was in contention for the win at Atlanta last week until he got shuffled back to eighth on a late-race restart. Still, he\u2019s fifth in the series standings heading into Friday night\u2019s race at Las Vegas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Embracing the pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Burton said he doesn\u2019t shy away from the pressure that comes with driving top-level equipment at KBM, even though failing to perform in it could easily curtail his racing career.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love that pressure and I love having the opportunity because I know that when I was a little kid, I wanted to be out there winning races. I didn\u2019t want to be out there in equipment that couldn\u2019t win races,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea that young guys shouldn\u2019t be in good equipment because it\u2019s too much pressure is dumb because no matter when you get in good equipment, you\u2019re going to be under pressure. Even if you\u2019re in equipment that\u2019s not great, you\u2019re still under pressure because you still have to outperform the guy that was in the seat before you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really hard to get your name out there when you\u2019re running 10<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0or 15<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0at best.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
