As Kyle Busch heads into a new team in the form of RCR next season, many asked who would potentially sponsor the two-time Cup Series champion. With no reports emerging, except for rumors, we might have got an idea after a hilarious Twitter conversation ensued between Kyle Busch and a streaming television company.

The company in question is called ‘Sling TV’ and as of 2022 they currently have 2.19 million subscribers on their platform. Sure it does not seem to be a substantial number compared to conventional television subscribers. But the point to note is that this is a fairly new company in the industry and if they can get their hands on sponsoring someone as big as Kyle Busch. There’s a chance their very own recognition and popularity would skyrocket beyond existing proportions.
So Sling went out onto Twitter and said, “If the Candyman doesn’t hand out full-sized candy bars, we have a problem.” Soon Kyle Busch himself saw the tweet and did not miss a beat to quickly respond and state, “If u don’t @sling me a sponsorship, we have a problem.”
Soon fans of Busch joined the conversation and sling hinted that there just might be a chance that this banter could be converted into reality.
