Unfortunately, Joe Gibbs had been taking action against the two-time Cup Series Champion ever since the season started.
Before the Vegas race, the owner’s Twitter page posted all four drivers. However, Denny Hamlin got the limelight with his entire face and suit visible, while no one knew where Busch was. Well, you could see his car, but not the Champion himself.

And one fan actually noticed that and pointed it out.
Hamlin–frontal shot
Bell–profile
Truex, Jr.–can't see his face!
Busch–is he even in the picture?

It’s pretty interesting to see him clap back at Gibbs. He did earlier too when he talked about putting his face on JGR’s 200th win so they can look at it forever.

Do you enjoy seeing him take shots at the Toyota team? It’s interesting to see because Joe Gibbs apparently tried hard to hold him.

Although JGR sacked Busch, he claims to have tried hard to hold him. In fact, Gibbs claims to have even talked to his wife, Samantha.

The team owner said, “We talked to Kyle and just told him we’re really pulling for him and [wife] Sam and the family,”, “The rest of his racing career – this guy is going to win a bunch. We know that. He’s a great competitor.”
But he confesses he gave up, too, “I just think we worked hard trying to get everything done there. We couldn’t. I think he’s found a home, and I’ll be willing to bet he’s going to be after it next year, and he’s going to want to win a bunch of races.”
