Kyle Busch and his sponsorship saga carry on, as he sits without a sponsor, with the regular season nearing its end. Moreover, this is certainly going to cause issues for Joe Gibbs Racing, leaving a big, $25 Million hole in their finances. But there might be light at the end of the tunnel for the two-time Cup Series Champion.

Busch revealed four teams that he has talked to for a ride in case there is no sponsorship breakthrough at JGR. There is a major catch, though.

Recently, NASCAR Journalist Adam Stern revealed the four teams that Kyle Busch has talked to. And these include Joe Gibbs Racing’s ally, 23XI Racing, along with Stewart-Haas Racing, Kaulig Racing, and Richard Childress Racing.

Fascinatingly, none of these four options include Busch’s previous team, Hendrick Motorsports.

Of course, it’s well known that Dale Earnhardt Jr. replaced Busch in 2007. However, many fans speculated that Rick Hendrick would take the two-time Cup Series Champion back.

And the fans have some things to say about the big news.

Many fans think Busch will join 23XI, and it’s not surprising because 23XI and JGR have an alliance. In fact, Joe Gibbs supports Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin’s venture to a decent extent, making it a very safe choice for Busch.

However, one fan has a very bold prediction for the driver.

Although it’s probably a joke, Busch-Childress Racing might be a fun thing to see in the future.

But coming back to Hendrick Motorsports, what are the odds of Rick Hendrick taking Busch back in a Chevrolet Camaro? Dale Earnhardt Jr. had some thoughts to share on this matter.

What Are The Odds Of Kyle Busch Joining Hendrick Motorsports?

Dale Earnhardt Jr. brought up a great point as he talked about Busch joining Hendrick Motorsports, as he took the example of Kyle Larson.

What Busch is struggling with is finding a sponsor. And that’s exactly the issue Larson had. Luckily, Mr. H came to the rescue as HednrickCars.com sponsored the driver. And, well, he won the Cup Series title in 2021, so the gamble surely paid off!

And Dale Jr. feels that could be the case with Busch too, as he struggles to find someone who can pay the money he demands.

Junior said, “you could argue that Rick Hendrick, can pay that can pay that and would pay that.”

“He brought Kyle Larson in. Nobody was sure about what to do with Kyle Larson and he brought him in there and spun it and made it work.”

He added, “He could absolutely spend this as bringing Kyle [Busch] home. He’s matured, he’s ready. We’re going to win some races. We got unfinished business all those things.”
