Kyle Busch has had a big question mark ever since Mars Inc. announced their departure from NASCAR. However, it’s not just Busch who will suffer, but also Joe Gibbs Racing. But a recent revelation has led NASCAR fans to assume that he has a salary of a whopping $25 Million.

Unfortunately, that’s incorrect, and the actual number is not even close.

After M&M’s departure from the sport, the amount the company contributes to JGR is out in the open. However, a little misconception led fans to believe something completely different.
