From 2008 until 2022, Kyle Busch was proud to consider himself a Joe Gibbs Racing driver. During that period, M&M’s linked up with him as a primary sponsor and they stuck together for a long time. It came to a stage where Kyle Busch and M&M’s were practically synonymous with each other.
Recently, Kyle was signing merchandise for the fans at an event when one fan approached him. A young boy had a diecast of an M&M’s-themed car, but it happened to be a car of former driver Elliott Sadler. Nevertheless, Busch signed it anyway and the fan walked away happy.
The saga started when M&M’s decided to leave NASCAR entirely. This pretty much left Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing on the lurch and in a desperate situation searching for a sponsor. For a while, Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing negotiated back and forth but could not reach an agreement.
Kyle has gotten his season off to a fantastic start by winning at the Auto Club Speedway. Owing to this, he has not only triumphed for his new team but broken Richard Petty’s record for the most consecutive seasons (19) with a win. Furthermore, he has booked his berth in the Playoffs.
