The first line he said was pure truth. This guy is real when he speaks. I hope he finds his way for next year
I can say from my perspective that is the most honest humble Kyle Buch I have seen publicly in years (I’m not a Kyle fan by any stretch!) but it was good to hear that answer from him. He showed a great deal of maturity on his part.
Hes humble now, because hes not very much liked....by fans, or by sponsors.....so now, hes humble because his actions, interviews and demeanor going forward have everything to do with his near future .
Kyle is talent 100% I miss ROWDY.
No matter what happens he will land on his feet. He has a good 4 or 5 solid years left in him.
Sorry Kenny - The Racing Way posted the same interview and their headline was Kyle Confirms he's leaving Gibbs. I think I got on your site by mistake because these other people posted the same picture of Kyle's interview. Your headline is spot on. There's a real problem on CZcams where the headline has nothing to do with the actual story - just an attempt by some of these yahoos to get people to watch their video. You are not one of them!
thx Danny, it does feel like Kyle is leaving but he didn't confirm that officially, he did say "there's a big change coming" tho, thx for commenting!
Who could replace Busch
1. Matty D
2. Martin truex jr
3. Best hair in the garage Jj
4. AJ Allmendinger
This sounds like somebody that's moving on from his current spot.
Of course he is out at Gibbs .
If he were coming back it would have been locked up long ago .
Come in people.
@@mrj3217 totally agree….I keep hearing them say they are waiting for the right sponsor for KB but losing M&M is like losing his identity and they have been sponsoring nascar for years. Joe knows that there may not be as big of a sponsor out there willing to invest in KB now. And honestly, I think Joe is tired of working with him. Just my opinion but this loss of sponsor I feel was Joes way of saying…I can finally move on without him. Not to mention, he’s not getting any younger, who really knows how many years he has left in him.
@@Peacefulh20 Joe GIbbs is almost 82 years old, I doubt he has much to with day to day operations or dealing with his drivers very much anymore.
@@TheSmoothGrind he was the one whom said in an interview that they were waiting for the right sponsor. He is also the one whom has to face the music when Kyle does something because at the end of the day, Kyle still drives under Joe Gibbs racing. So anything Kyle does as a racer, it’s under Joes name.
@@Peacefulh20 Fair enough points, but I am sure there are business managers in place, if Joe passed away tomorrow, nothing would change. Any bit of music he faces is by his own choice at this point.
Gotta get this dude in some Hendricks Equipment ASAP!
I sure hope someone sponsors Kyle. He's my favorite driver now. Come on someone step up!
You will see it here first. Kyle Busch will be driving for the #16 car next year
Nascar needs Kyle Busch more than Kyle needs Nascar.....
If he can get into a Chevy, I’ll be a fan.
Kyle Busch to Kaulig Racing putting my money on it.
Back in the day I wasn't a Kyle fan but somehow over the last few years I started to like him and man he can wheel a race car! I agree with Dale Jr he's good for the sport. He's kinda like a wrestler on WWE, people either love him or hate him at the track. Not comparing talents but in a different time the love/hate driver was the man in black Dale Sr, Who also could do amazing things in a race car! Kyle has definitely shown a side of himself recently that most of us hadn't seen. I wish him the best and agree he will land somewhere and still do great things in a stock car.
NAILED IT DUDE!
Definitely moving on from JGR, well. I'm jumping ship now.
Hendricks should put him in the 48
I'm not a kyle Busch fan by any means but I don't want him out of a ride next year either. He's probably worried about his brother as well 🤷
Kyle replaces his brother in the 45 for 2311. Ty Gibbs to the 18
It's going to be KB Racing but it's not what you think........ Y'all gotta step up your thinking to understand what is going to happen.
Like him or not , the dude is a great driver and fun to watch .. Glad he’s found a new home .. too bad it’s a bow tie and not a blue oval … but won’t be a Toyota..
Nascar needs Kyle Busch and two more just like him!
He's one of the best and he will be just fine no matter where he ends up.
That is so true
I love this guy I just hope he goes to a Ford team. I know RFKB for the win it was funny to me.
Good answer.
Trust me...he already has a ride for next year..its a hush thing till its time to say where...two choices...Hendricks or Tony Stewart
If Kyle Busch is not racing on Sunday next year will the sport be better off. I don't think so. He's a lot more important to the show than thirty other drivers.
JRM's Cup car. Bring Truck KBM to JRM.
Wishing him and his family all the best 👍 🏁
I am worried about him being able to race again next year
Who remember the Phoenix driver jj yeley behind the 18 good man honest leader but how he couldn’t keep a ride with a Gibbs ride. He doesn’t get the 18 but maybe the 20 car if bell is demoted to a smaller or a larger team. I don’t count out the fact that JJ will qualify for more Daytona races
I'm not a huge fan, but there's no denying he's one of the greats. And I predict that if he goes to a team that's not a constant contender for wins, he'll change that. I believe he's that good. He should be excited, because now he will have the opportunity to show the racing world just how good he really is. Best of luck Kyle.
Dang!!!!
My money is on him going to rcr. I'm not gonna really like it but I'll follow my driver wherever he lands
What has happened to Nascar ? Fox put the races on one of it's secondary channels and put USFL football on the main channel. I mean USFL football... Really. NBC is the same way. Rarely on the main channel.
Finally we see the calm family man as well as business man in Kyle Busch. Knowing your employer is changing as well as your lifestyle leads us all to sleepless nights.
I would race for Joe Gibbs for 100k a year and lifetime supply of Busch Light. 'Merica
I'm gonna cry if he doesn't get a ride in 2023 😭
brexton!!!
Kenny Wallace you got an awesome channel, In 2016 I went to the Fall Martinsville Race and was walking down George Martin Drive to Clay Earls way when a White Mini Van was working its way back up thru pedestrian traffic and I remember thinking to myself "That Guy Looks just Like Kenny Wallace" and We kept on walking, Then the group behind me said "Hey Kenny Wallace!" and you stopped and shook their hands and I was like "damn it" I knew it was Kenny Wallace!, Thank You for staying real and keeping it real.
That kyle is Real and likable. Thats how he should be and maybe he’d already would have a sponsor. But having Gibbs grandson ready for cup hes def gonna have a different ride. I repect his honesty
I agree 💯 %
Yep if he was like this he would be marketable to sponsors. I can’t recall the last ad with him in it? Maybe one for Toyota trucks? Not candy bars or mm’s.
Like him or not but wherever he goes the team is better.
He's going to 23/11 just my guess I'm definitely a Kyle Busch fan I'll be happy just to see him out there whatever the future holds
I feel they are trying to move him to 23/11 team don’t know if that’s what he wants
Like I said going to Mr. H
Very curious to see how it pans out . Definitely would love to see him in the series for another 5 years at least.
I dont doubt at all he has had sleepless nights. As a Father, Dad, and Husband we want to provide for our families.. no matter the stature of our yearly income. Not working at the viable age is frustrating. He will land on his feet. Kyle still has the talent.
Sleepless nights with millions in the bank versus sleepless nights with no money in the bank
all you need to do is listen to the last 1 minute there's no way he's coming back to that car next year he as much as says things are going to be different
Guess he should have been less of a jerk in his antics he’d still have a job
He's being nice now, he knows his mouth got him in this corner. If and when he gets signed, the old kyle will be back, count on it!!!
KYLE TO KAULIG OR HENDRICK
Kyle Busch has brought this on himself.... he has no one to blame but himself! You cannot ignore your boss and have a bad attitude to the reporters and fans and expect everything to just come out smelling like roses at the end! You did this to yourself Kyle.....I don't for a minute feel sorry for you!!! You should have had some humbleness and self humidity in your past years!!! =#
He has really changed his tone from "ask Joe Gibbs" responses. This interview made one thing clear for me and others can say duh, but Kyle Busch will not be a JGR next year, period. Kyle is my driver, I hate to see such a talent go through this. I don't know that we have ever seen a situation where there is a driver who also is an owner in the Truck series. I realize Kevin Harvick owned a team in Busch, but I believe that is a major reason for all the difficulties in this situation. I hope he lands somewhere competitive, not like my previous driver Bobby Labonte who was stuck in horrible rides the rest of his career.
I was hoping no ride next year
Oh, plus you’re attitude!
Harvick kinda went thru the same thing at RCR he saw that the spoiled grand babies were going to replace him no matter how many races he won
Never liked Kyle Bush but must say he is getting very mature the older he gets. That being said, it’s obvious that coach Gibbs doesn’t want him around next season. I like many people believe that Gibbs grandson will be in that car next year. I hope Kyle gets a decent ride with a winning team.
So he's definitely leaving joe gibs. That's sad I was hoping they could get something done
I really get this feeling he will end up at 23xi. He may have to take a huge paycut, but with the reports out there that Denny is looking for another charter, that's my guess.
I feel like it’s 23xi or Kauai’s at this point. I’d prefer 23xi because I don’t feel like Kaulig is where they need to be to contend yet.
Being an Elliott fan I really never liked Kyle. But I remember the hole it left in the sport when Earnhardt died. The sport with these Walmart cars Needs Kyle Bush. He should have a Drivers charter!
I love Noah Gragson -he fills a void we have left since Tony left - if Kyle leaves - the fun is gone !
I was a Dale Earnhardt fan until the end. Really didn’t watch NASCAR after he passed until Kyle came along. Kyle was the only driver whose style came close to Dale’s. Honestly, at the point Kyle is the only think keeping me interested in NASCAR. I’m much more of a dirt track fan now, as it just feels more like old school racing. Once Kyle’s gone I doubt I’ll follow it anymore. I just don’t like the general direction they’re going in. I hate the new cars, hate all the road courses, just hate it all really.
One of the top 5 greatest of all time and I don’t care what any Facebook warriors or CZcams trolls say. This man is great no matter what car or truck you put him in. And his energy drink is blowing up now too
I think 23XI is gonna sign him and run a 3rd car
i love Kyle Busch
I heard he's gonna sign with Kenny Wallace Racing and pilot the #18 M&M's dirt modified, HAHAHAHA 😋
Good luck to his brother
As a non fan of Kyle. It is nice to see him humbled and this way. Tony Stewart was my favorite driver after Davey Allison died. And I wouldn't mind seeing Kyle wind up at Stewart Haas racing personally, if this is gonna be Kyle goin forward.
He has no problem getting offers , but if he goes to a ford or Chevy team he probably won’t be getting as much help on his truck team as he gets from Toyota. It’s been said he has the best truck deal in the series because of everything they provide him money and technology.
Hearing Kyle actually be transparent and down to earth is just awesome. Yet he’s still aggressive on the track. He’s matured a lot in the last few years. Hopefully he still gets to try and win for 2023.
This whole thing is just inexcusable. But anyone that has followed NASCAR over the past several decades can understand that these things happen. He’s in the next phase of his career. There are younger drivers hungry to take his spot as a championship driver. And with all the negative social media past and present surrounding him, it’s starting to take its toll.
I do feel for Kyle Busch and do like him but people have had struggles their whole life and never ever once gotten the money and opportunities he has had ! I raced for nine years everything was funded by me and a few sponsors never got the opportunity to do what he has ! Just winning one race could alter anyone’s life in a positive impact with all that money ! When you’re broke you know how to save every penny when you’re rich it’s never enough
2311 needs a 3rd charter and MJ needs to pay Kyle whatever he wants - Kyle could bring them a championship
Its puzzling to me that you would let someone like Kyle walk to another team, but the financials in NASCAR are certainly different now. If he is moving on I hope its with SHR.
Anybody that hates this guy can't spell nascar and doesn't understand what they see on Sunday. Kyle will be at stewart haas in a silver coors lite dodge!!! Period!
all of SHR spots have been confirmed so...he's not going there, no room
I wish you the very best, you’ve been a great asset to your team and Gibbs. And for him to leave you hanging like he has is RUDE❗️❗️❗️
He's a big baby. I think he has it coming. He overestimated his value and now he will take a pay cut and drive lesser equipment. Even his crew chief had enough of him and changed teams
I don't think he said he's leaving. Just more false Headlines!
we didn't say he was leaving, he said "there's a big change coming"
I hear from his words that he’s changing manufacturer and it’s gonna be a new team ! He will be driving a JRM Budweiser or Bojangles Chevy .
Im sure with Kurts injury he may be thinking about how to help him financially, plus mid life crisis/career change is hard.
When I became a disabled Veteran 19rys ago I didnt know what to do next. I was always doing physical activity, running things and in the gym. Life hasnt been the same since. Theres the 2008 depression I went through and havent recovered. Then cancer last year. Now a midlife crisis and have no clue what to do with whats left of my life.
I hope everything works out for him, hes still young and has plenty of racing talent.
I dont think joe Gibbs wants him back. I believe that ty Gibbs will be in the 18 next year. If Kyle's attitude was better might be a different story .
Kyle you're The Best!! Toyota needs to do everything possible to keep you in a Toyota...if not they will lose BIG!!
No doubt about it.
Does better attitude mean kissing butt like the rest of the sheep?
@Stephanie Nilsen Kyle's attitude cost him sponsorship from m&m. I've been following nascar for over 25 years and Kyle's attitude sucks.
@@stewgilbert4090 That's what you want to believe.... Truth is Mars made the decision to take their money elsewhere.... They've been w NASCAR for many years and we should be thankful for that.... It's a whole different world out there.... People fail to realize that.....
If someone doesn't sign him they must be crazy. I cheer for him bc of him, not his ride (bc I don't like yota) or his sponsors. He brings excitement to the race and even after the race ya never know what he's gonna say or do. He's a badass driver as well.
If he goes to 23xi then I will finally be a fan of his and root for him
The top Stock Car drivers make considerably less money than the Top stiçk and ball athletes so even though they can be comfortable I don't think they make as much money as people think they do!
Conspiracy theory, Kyle moves to JRM cup car. KBM goes to chevy. HMS starts Xfinity series. Magic 8 ball
Is Kyle kinda like a modern DW?
Old Jaws had it all then kinda got humbled in the second half of his career.
It sounds like he's not going to be back with Gibbs.
Kyle calls it like he sees it. Very sharp and blunt. You love him or hate him. Always controversial and that keeps people watching. But lots of sponsors don't want to deal with him and what he brings to the table.
Yeah, I'm sure sponsors love writing multi million dollar checks because they have a nice guy behind the wheel finishing 20th every week..... *sarcasm*
He is one of the best ever. Teams should be beating down his door
Not all owners can afford him especially if no sponsorship. And Kyle's not looking for just himself but factory support for his truck series team
I’m sure he will find a team to go to. Stewart Hauss might pick him up who knows. But he is a dam good driver I’m sure a team will pick him up.
Cole custer is already confirmed
I honestly believe by this statement he is leaving joe Gibbs racing
Kyle could could always be Snap-On tool guy. 😬
Maybe he said it, and I didn't catch it, but there are also other people, and their families, that work for him that depend on him in the truck series. It is NOT just the building. I get the feeling that weighs heavy as well. NOBODY wants to go back and say hey, I have to close the team up and your out of a job. I know that seems silly, because I think he will land somewhere, but I am not in those shoes.
No comment
Kyle and Coach should put out a press release thanking each other, try to get the most out of what’s left and move on. It certainly doesn’t sound like he’s going back to JGR. I feel like his current team would run better if they just put it out there and clear the air. And he’ll have more leverage with potential offers if he’s running well (For Kyle Busch standards of running well, that is!)
never been a huge fan of his strictly due to the way he often speaks to his crew on the radio, but he absolutely is in the top five as far as talent. If he spent more time doing interviews with the class and patience he showed here, he might not be searching for a sponsor right now......
The situation in WASCAR is simple, a lot like MLB & the Yankees..JGR payrolls are too high, and they are prepared to let a Veteran Starter go free agree/no offer and take on an up and coming replacement.
FOLLOW THE MONEY GUYS! It’s an economic thing, not wins. Please stop the silly chattering, KB is too expensive and the new WASCAR fan base like GEN-Z drivers. WASCAR likes them because they are cheap. Nuff Said.
The line "big change coming" referring to him and his family adapting only adds fuel that he's not coming back to JGR.
He has to stay with toyota.... KBM, in the truck series are Toyota trucks.
Take a pay cut and drive then
I just find it so damn crazy that a generational talent like this is in this predicament. Nascar is no longer about the best drivers. It's about who has the best funding.
lol That changed back in 2005. It has been about money and theater ever since. I could add in orchestrated events, crashes and trumped up charges but it wouldn't mean much as the results are still the same under any Governing body that controls Billions in revenue for profit.
It's not only NASCAR..... I totally agree with you though...
Charter system has changed the way the race is raced
As much as you want to say good or bad about Kyle Busch. What about coach Gibbs. It seems in the last 10 years the talent of drivers he's had, he has not looked after them. There all gone to other teams and now Kyle will be next. Thanks Mr Gibbs for letting Kyle win over 50 races for you.
The most professional I've ever seen him.
He doesn't have any choice now. He is now getting his rude awakening that HE set himself up for.
@@todd3737 yep I agree 💯
Honestly Herm, this is a similar situation his big brother endured except Kyle is not being released in the middle of his lucrative contract but has met the full extent of the document. This is the beginning of the humbling stage of Kyle Busch Nascar Cup Series career. Chances being as slim as my right leg growing back since I'm an amputee, Kyle will not be racing in competitive equipment for the first time EVER in his Cup career and this will humble the wildest/feral of the grid to the point he will begin to doubt that his skills have evaporated away but eventually he will refine his passion for racing, appreciating the small to big stuff more as he watches the light at the end of the tunnel get brighter until he's only racing in the Truck Series part time with Brexton until Brex reaches the ripe age to race full-time.
I’ve been a KB fan since the beginning. He’s shown so much maturity through this whole situation. I hope nothing but the best for him for 2023 and beyond!
