The Kyle Busch contract situation has been up in the air ever since his long-time sponsor M&M’s decided to leave the sport next season. Since then there has been plenty of speculation that he might either return to JGR or even could possibly end up in another team or be shoved out entirely from the sport. However, a recent Twitter post from Kaulig Racing emerged, suggesting a driver announcement for next year. This has made fans think that it might be regarding Kyle Busch.

During an interview, the two-time Champion stated, “I was hoping yesterday. I’m not going to put a timeline on it, but time is a-ticking, and there are a lot of other options and a lot of other dominoes that need to fall.”
Fans speculate the possibility of a Kyle Busch announcement at Kaulig Racing
Recently Kaulig Racing put out an image via their Twitter feed calling fans for a special fan day, where it stated that a new driver for the 2023 season would be announced alongside other festivities and programs.
Fans wasted no time jumping to ask if that driver would be Kyle Busch. Meanwhile, not everyone agreed that Kaulig Racing would hire someone like Busch.
It could be Kyle, but let’s also look at it from Kyle’s POV. Oct. 5th is deep into the playoffs, and if he is still competing for a championship, do you really think he would want his announcement to be that late and have to keep answering questions about until then? Probably not

He said he thought he had a good thing yesterday then it “changed”. He doesn’t have a contract to announce

Kyle Busch hasn’t made a decision yet. If he was signing with Kaulig they’d wait until he made the decision until announcing their driver lineup. Tells me Kaulig is less likely.

To be certain about Busch moving to any team at this point would require an official confirmation from himself. Without this, everything will only remain speculative.
Time is in short supply at the moment for the JGR driver and he would have to come up with an announcement soon or at least before the playoffs come to an end. What do you think? Where would Kyle Busch end up in the upcoming season? Do you believe that teams like Kaulig Racing will be able to get him on board? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
