On a fateful Wednesday, the expansive facility bathed in the North Carolina sun. It has long served as the epicenter of Kyle Busch’s racing empire and encountered a destiny that would reshape the NASCAR Truck Series landscape. With a piece of news that left the NASCAR crowd reeling, Kyle Busch announced the sale of Kyle Busch Motorsports and Rowdy Manufacturing.

This acquisition, a torch-passing of sorts, promises not only a change in ownership but a change in direction. Spire Motorsports, the new custodian of the KBM facilities, will uproot its current shop in Concord, relocating to Mooresville, where the 77,000-square-foot shop awaits them. The deal encompasses the very heart of Busch‘s legacy, Rowdy Manufacturing’s chassis operations, and the CNC machine shop.

Kyle Busch’s exit from the fast lane, a new chapter for the Busch family

The sale was more than a transaction for the Busch family; it was the culmination of a 14-year journey that saw Kyle Busch Motorsports become one of the most celebrated teams in the Truck Series. Notching an impressive 100 Truck Series wins, the KBM has been the launching pad for promising young talents who have gone on to race on the grand stages of NASCAR’s top-tier races. The legacy of KBM stretches beyond championships; rather is a testament to Kyle Busch’s dedication to the sport and the 38-year-old’s ability to nurture budding talents.

The one person who has been an integral part of building this motorsport empire from the ground up with Kyle Busch is none other than his significant other, Samantha Busch. Samantha contributed her unwavering support to the vision they collectively crafted and was more than just a spectator. She was a cornerstone of the entire endeavor.

In the midst of this monumental decision, Samantha Busch echoed with heartfelt sentiment as she took a moment to share her thoughts, penning down a cathartic message that resonated deeply with their journey. “We were babies when we started this journey and never could have imagined the amazingly successful organization we would build in KBM,” Samantha reflected with gratitude.

Samantha Busch, is a wife, mother, entrepreneur, lifestyle blogger, IVF advocate, and philanthropist, and was the co-owner of the KBM team. The 37-year-old extended her heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated employees and their families, as well as the sponsors and partners, recognizing the unwavering support that had fueled their success. She went on to say, “It’s been so special to watch Kyle have success here and to see so many young drivers start their debuts with us. We have formed many friendships over the years, have great memories at this place, and will always be grateful for the success we were able to accomplish.”

In the end, Samantha acknowledged that this decision marked a new phase in their lives—one where they could step back and savor the joys of family life. “We will miss it, it will always be a special time in our lives. We know at this point in life that this is the right time and decision for us to step back and be able to enjoy life as a family.”
