In today’s world, social media can make or break a person. So, it isn’t a stretch to say that most celebrities avoid getting too much of attention on these online platforms. However, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch refutes this popular opinion of social media being all negative.

Last month, Kyle Busch announced his multi-year contract with Richard Childress Racing. But no announcement about his new sponsor had been made yet. Excited to see their favorite motorsport athlete team up with a new company, NASCAR fans have been asking the two-time Cup Series champion to reveal the details of his new association.

However, this Twitter banter between Busch and a streaming television company has probably dropped certain hints surrounding the matter. Sling TV, although not yet a completely established streaming platform, might be interested in sponsoring Busch.

A few days ago, the company posted a Tweet that was promptly responded to by Kyle Busch. Sling TV wrote; “If the Candyman doesn’t hand out full-sized candy bars, we have a problem.” To this Busch replied; “If u don’t @sling me a sponsorship, we have a problem.”

And this little conversation sent Busch fans into a discussion about the streaming television company being his 2023 sponsor. But now, the company responded to Busch with a fresh new tweet that forced Kyle Busch to question whether social media is all negative.

Kyle Busch’s departure from Joe Gibbs Racing was a result of his long-time sponsor M&M’s decision to step out of the sport. Furthermore, JGR could not find a new sponsor for him and thus Busch had to negotiate a contract with a new team.

Hence, seeing what just three tweets did for Busch, fans began questioning how Joe Gibbs Racing couldn’t find a sponsor for Rowdy in 15 months.

Although no official announcement of any negotiations or deals has been made yet, Rowdy Busch and his fans are happy to see Sling TV’s gestures. Only time will tell how fruitful this Twitter banter turns out to be. But until then, it’s heartwarming to see the company take an initiative for Busch’s foundation.
