i think the reason Kyle wouldn't want to have incentivized contract based on performance (top 5s, top 10s) is that he may already feel he isnt getting the best equipment and may think that a heavily incentivized contract may work against him getting top line equipment if the season starts to not go the way everyone wants....

Hear me out. NASCAR…go ahead and sell a charter to Dale Jr. Dale, you bring in Kyle to run the car. There’s no way in hell the two of them couldn’t find enough sponsor money to cover Kyles asking price. Companies would be willing to sign their name to anything Earnhardt, especially with Kyle behind the wheel and that whole story. Yes their rivals. Yes it probably couldn’t go beyond a year without them killing each other, but, it would be good for both of them. Dale would have a car in cup with a championship driver. Kyle would have the money and probably decent equipment. And the media attention would be bananas. Win win.

[@johnhaas2523]

NASCAR cannot just sell a charter to make 37 charters as every single owner with a charter has to approve it because it affects the value of every team. Before any charters get added NASCAR wants to see teams like live fast either improve or gone

[@oldermusiclover]

maybe Kyles should just quit and run his truck team

[@steventweed3599]

Based on team performance, JGR has not given Kyle a reason to consider creative incentive options. That part is not Kyle's fault. The flip side is that Kyle's attitude towards his team is piss poor at best. I could see Kyle winding up (merge) with Trackhouse. Kyle already has a feeder system but no Cup team. That fits Trackhouse perfectly. Marks nor Busch would have any initial investment to make. That would set Kyle up perfectly for post retirement. On the other hand, Kurt has really matured and stepped up as an elder statesman in every sense of the word and proved he can and will win in anything! He could wind up in a leadership role anywhere.

[@markalbert9011]

Trackhouse couldn't afford him either and a merger???? He has already stated why he wants to stay with Toyota, to be a Toyota Lifer, to have a permanent connection to Toyota after he retires like Ivan "Ironman" Stewart. (Stewart is well compensated for being a TRD spokesman nearly 2 decades after retiring. The first thing mentioned on Stewarts web page is his 30 year relationship with Toyota.) Kyle also hopes to share a truck with his son Brexton when he turns 16. Any deal to move away from Toyota will almost certainly require his Truck to change manufactures. Not an impossibility but it certainly complicates Kyles expressed long range plans. Then you have to ask "Why on earth would Justin Marks want to PARTNER with someone as notoriously difficult as Kyle Busch?" I don't really see an upside for Marks. The potential of disrupting his new and astonishingly successful team is HUGE!!! I can see just a bit of potential for conflict with Ross Chastain and lets face it when things don't go his way Kyle is a dick. Just not a lot of upside here for Justin Marks. He already has a winning driver with significant fan appeal for attracting new sponsors. If Kyle Leaves JGR it will be for an establish championship caliber team (Ross ain't winning a championship this year, just ask Denny). Kyles top two priority's are Championship #3 and 17 more victories to pass Dale Earnhardt on the all time winners list. I suspect sharing a truck with his son is a VERY, VERY distant 3'rd on his priorities list.

[@ginakerry2588]

Kyle definitely deserves the chance to get those 17 wins and pass the legend . Just ask him, he'll tell you. If he doesn't get it , I don't know if I can stand all the whining. If they play last weeks pre race interview one more time I'm going to puke. Oops, too late .

[@tonyjirik2145]

IMO Mars could see through the crystal ball that Kyle’s cup career has hit it’s high point. You look at this season and all the new younger winners we’ve had. The dynamic has changed and large sponsorship dollars will always expect top tier results. It’s like sales, if you don’t sell you don’t make commissions.

[@randywilde5988]

I am wondering if after all these contract negotiations, years of service and 2 Championships if KYLE is actually holding out for part ownership in JOE GIBBS RACING like Denny has done to further advance his career with co-ownership in 23XI RACING and like Brad has now with RFK RACING. Kyle has seen firsthand what Denny and Brad have accomplished to further their careers so I am sure Kyle is also looking to do the same to secure his future to remain in the RACING WORLD as well. JOE is getting much older and he may want KYLE to be his successor just like Jeff Gordon has become CEO for Hendricks Motorsports. I am sure he still desires to be part of JOE GIBBS RACING, but would like to see it become GIBBS-BUSCH MOTORSPORTS. Kyle has a passion for the sport and wants this team to succeed and be around for future generations to enjoy. His future remains to be unseen, but I am sure it depends wholly on owing a piece of a competitive race team that is already well established within the NASCAR Cup Series. He will definitely have an advantage and upper hand in building a successful racing team especially after he retires from his racing career in the near distance future.

[@daltonmoon6493]

Trackhouse racing should consider Kyle Busch add a charter for him kyle and Ross chastain on the same team would be movie worthy and a team that’s still new to cup could use Kyle for his experience knowledge and his truck series team

[@williamyoung7452]

TRACKHOUSE is already a satellite HENDRICKS team. They have no incentive to have to absorb a big sponsor, to fund a kyle Busch team. Their out going cost to driver on track production, is probably in Nascar top 5 or 3, on a team level.

[@shaynejenkins446]

“We run an efficient organization so our cost is lower. Plus, companies resonate with our humility, positivity, and love of the sport.” That's what Justin Marks the owner of Trackhouse said about Kyle Busch's sponsor issue. Sounds like he has the same feeling's most have for Kyle.

[@CamelSmokes23]

@@shaynejenkins446 While I agree, if Kyle came down a bit in money Trackhouse would be insane not to consider him. He'd be a great match, as @Dalton Moon mentioned they already have Chastain which at this point is just a younger Kyle. I think they'd be a great fit. When personalities align and everyone is on the same (aggressive) page, good things tend to happen. KB could no doubt lead them to a Championship.

[@kylefunderburk4194]

I really think SHR is a great possibility for Busch. They can afford him because Haas can sponsor him directly. The speed hasn't been there, but SHR is on the brink. Remember, Chase Briscoe is two clean passes away from having three wins this year. This isn't the status quo for SHR and Ford as a whole has struggled. NASCAR forced them to make a change to the car ahead of Daytona and made changes to inspections prior to the 2021 season that caused SHR to lose a lot of speed. This is where we find out how bad Ford wants to win in NASCAR. They dominated victory lanes for four years and had just one driver championship to show for it (thanks in part to the playoffs). Kyle Larson was there's for the taking, and Ford said no to Tony and Gene. Now the Chevy's and HMS are back on top. The no. 2 team this year is a Chevy team that is only two years old (if you don't count the CGR, Felix Sabates, DEI heritage). Ford has let NASCAR walk over them for two years in a row now. This is an opportunity for Ford. Kyle Busch is not only a winner, but he brings a developmental team with him. Ford's future successes in NASCAR hinge on this silly season.

SHR to Dodge in 23 or 24 think of that to if they get KB

@@derrickconnor1303 If Ford shows some fortitude, SHR isn't going anywhere. Dodge joining NASCAR is just a rumor, beyond that, we don't even know what Dodge joining NASCAR means.

Kyle BUSCH is more than a driver. He owns the dominant Camping World Truck Series Team. KBM bought hamke chassis out. That is one of if not the best Late Model,modifieds, ect. Chassis manufacturers of all times. Kyle is grooming the GRAND NATIONAL AND SPORTSMAN (CUP/XFINITY)stars of the future. Over half of the drivers that have "made" it, cut their teeth at KBM. I have been a KYLE BUSCH (THE DRIVER) since Kurt Busch told us about him after he won his championship. Kurt gave a speech, and in it he says, "IF YOU THINK I'M GOOD, WAIT TILL YOU SEE MY LITTLE BROTHER" I wasn't a KYLE Busch the person fan until Braxton came allong and he became a great man. Does he ruffle feathers? Yes! Come on , the man is so good NASCAR has made rules to block hime from having more success than he has now... He is the only driver to win all 3 series in a weekend, and did it multiple times. After he won the BUSCH series title while also competing for the cup championship NASCAR made up the rule only allowing drivers to compete in 5 xfinity and 5 truck series races each class each year. If you compete in Cup. If they hadn't, I think KYLE BUSCH would have won a championship in multiple series in 1 year.. possibly a 3 sweep. His first championship was the greatest comeback story in NASCAR history. 17 straght years with at least 1 win in Cup. Until the recent addition of tracks we had 2 years where KYLE was the only driver that had won at every stop on the NASCAR series tour. The only race he is missing is the Daytona 500. KYLE is so unappreciated as a driver. He can basically when any weekend. If you are talking about favorite to wins, as long as it's not a popularity contest, KYLE BUSCH is on the list. I want KYLE BUSCH to leave JGR. He does his best driving when it is a challenge. Look at his performance this year even. 2 before his win on Bristol dirt, then a string of seconds that was broken at Sonoma. He could have more wins if he drove without respect. In the past he would have. He seems to be the only diver willing to stand up to NASCAR and say what he really thinks. I would love to see him at RCR. I believe that with the past that they have and the way Childress is willing to go to battle for his drivers. Kyle would thrive there and breath New life into the team. Chevy has so much power and speed, I don't see Toyota catching up anytime soon. KYLE is too stressed out this year. Another option that would be funny. Drop back to the Xfinity series and dominate it for a season to force teams to want him out of that series. A basic, make them look bad season. And take that year to spend tome with his new daughter and go racing with Braxton on Sundays. He has the facilities to build the chassis and doe everything at KBM. You know Toyota would back him. They have too much to lose if he decides to drive for Chevy. Ford isn't even in the conversation. Not enough power. Toyota would also have to throw away every comercial they have if KYLE BUSCH left. He is the corner stone of the manufacturer. He could really shake NASCAR up. That isn't a bad thing. Something needs to happen in the sport. I have a lot of friends that won't watch a race anymore. It seems to be more of a demolition derby than racing anymore. Like larson overshooting the corner and killing Ty Dillon's car. It looked like he lost his bakes but he didn't. He drove in too hard. And couldn't slow down. . I thought for sure Dillon was going to be hurt badly. Thank the Lord he wasn't.. professional racing shouldn't be 75% carnage. I am even getting where I can't stand to watch the races. With this many cautions we don't need stage racing anymore.

I wasn't a fan of yours growing up, but now I realize it's because I never gave you a fair shake, never actually listened to you or your takes. Now with the podcast I'm finding out your a really great guy. Anyways, although Kyle has had tremendous success with JGR, I've always felt they were a bad match. Kyle is and was a wild man, he needs a team like Kaulig or heck even Trackhouse. Hendrick would work great for him now that he's calmed down a bit in his older years, but I just never felt like Joe Gibbs and KB were on the same page. Gibbs kept him because he not only performs, but performs the best of all his drivers. But Gibbs doesn't love Kyle, he loves Denny. Denny is the apple of his eye since he lost his son. I mean letting Denny create his own Cup team while still working for JGR? He'd never allow Kyle to do that. Ok rant over, I'll be honest and admit I've sipped on enough whiskey for the night. My take? Kyle goes to Hendrick.

I don't see Hendrick wanting any part of that circus clown atmosphere for a second time. Rick has a solid line up for the first time in many years and I don't see him booting any of those 4 just to spend twice as much money to acquire a crybaby that may only have a yr or 2 left in the tank.

I don't see that happening in the cup series. he did have a team for one year in the xfinity series and it was terrible for kyle and his team. he shut it down after the 2012 season and moved the 54 to joe gibbs racing team starting in 2013

[@markgrimley9004]

Agree maybe, but “Smoke” put it together. And has prospered very well. “Rowdy “ love or hate him , can do the same. Maybe a Busch Bros deal. They both are a big market in the sport, which is struggling!🏁

[@wyattjacobson4779]

I'd be surprised to see Kyle run better than Harvick in that equipment. People don't seem to realize how great Harvick has been considering the equipment he has been running most of his career. He arguably has never been in a top ride other than RCR the first few years before the downturn and SHR being good for a few years but never a seat at the level of Hendrick or JGR.

[@rtpgunner2979]

Harvick won his championship with SH that was powered by a bowtie provided bye Hendrick...

[@ethanweeter2732]

Winning 9 races in SHR equipment seems like a miracle now and Harvick has been very consistent this year in average to good cars most of the year.

[@wayneanderson1641]

Is there a possibility Stuart Haas is sick of Ford? Toyota would be happy to join Stewart Haas along with the Bush Brothers. Then watch Harvick fly with good equipment.

[@alanbranch851]

Gonna comment before listening to the episode first, my opinion is that anything is possible of course however Rick Hendrick runs a tight ship and keeps things low key and drama free for the most part. If Rick hired Kyle given Kyle was willing to do so would absolutely signal a change in the way HMS operates and what would of wouldn’t be tolerated. Do not see this happening.

[@curtzeek8818]

I agree. Kyle doesn't fit the team mold here, and won't most places. Hell, he doesn't fit the mold where he is right now. I can see him at SHR

Gibbs would be a fool to let Kyle get away from him. I noticed Jr. you never mentioned the guy that has the most money to spend, Roger Penske.

I don't think it's fair to lump Kyle Larson in with Kyle Busch. Larson shows respect to others in the sport, and has made a concerted effort to show respect to his sponsors and teammates. Busch has trashed everyone along the way, at times making a joke of his teammates, sponsors, crew members, owner, and even the sport itself. Both have made mistakes they wish they could have back, but Larson has twice the maturity of Busch.

Kyle will be winning races at Trackhouse next year. I'm not sure, but the 10 will be sponsorless when Aric leaves, so I would not say SHR is an option yet
