Kyle Busch left Joe Gibbs Racing after 15 years. We all know this well enough now, and also that he’s going to Richard Childress Racing. But did JGR even try to hold the two-time world champion back? Did the owner even try to make space for him?
Of course, after racing for 15 years, and getting two Cup Series titles, Joe Gibbs wanted Busch to stay. Moreover, a recent revelation shows that he tried quite hard to hold him back with the team.
The boss said, “I just think we worked hard 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.”
