The new Kyle Busch 7-Eleven paint scheme has reportedly leaked online. The leak came from the Instagram account NASCARRumorNostalgia and was picked up by Reddit.

Richard Childress Racing has not confirmed the new paint scheme as of this writing, but we’ll find out soon enough if this will be Busch’s new paint scheme when he returns to the track on April 27. There will not be a race on Sunday as NASCAR has the week off.

The new paint scheme could be something Kyle Busch needs to get going. The 39-year-old has yet to win a race this season but has earned three top-10 finishes in nine races. That has helped Busch stay in the playoff race, but he would love to get a win to clinch a spot in the postseason.

Kyle Busch talks about diagnosing the NextGen car

Last week, Busch spoke to Dave Moody of SiriusXM NASCAR Radio about his ability to diagnose the current car during practice. “I can with the car, yes,” Busch said, per Athlon Sports. “The practice time being so limited and the adjustments that you’re able to make being so limited, you don’t have those tools at your disposal to be able to work with. So it’s what you show up to the racetrack with is what you got. You can make some shock adjustments and maybe some wedge adjustments and some height adjustments and things like that, but where the proof is in the pudding is more so in some springs and moving some geometry stuff around and changing some things of how the car reacts and rolls and whatnot.

“That’s where the real magic happens. So, you can kind of tweak and play around with some of the stuff that’ll help you, but there’s definitely some other ideas that could certainly fix you for a race. But again, it’s the time in which you have to work on stuff and to be able to go through that trial and error process of.”

Busch added, “You know the days of the three-hour practices and stuff, you’d come in and make a change on a bar or a spring or a shock or whatever and you’d be like, ‘Yeah, no, I didn’t like that. Take that off.’ And then you’d go the other way with that and you’d be like, ‘Yeah, I like that.’ Well, it’s just hard to be able to go through many changes in short periods of time.”
