Kyle Busch says deal for driver and sponsors for Nationwide are "all pretty much done'' just awaiting when sponsors are ready to announce. Said, "Wanted to get it out there before Jayski."
 
I wonder if this will go the same way as his Truck operation, where he suddenly decides he will run every race. I hope he gives up and coming drivers a chance. We'll see though, it's all about the money.
 
...and the sponsors wanting to have the best opportunity to have their name on the winning car - which makes it all about the money, I suppose! :D
 
Wasn't he talking about how he could barely afford to race his truck this year? Now he wants to run Nationwide and truck?

Let's just accelerate the death of the Nationwide Series, just like Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick have destroyed the Truck Series.
 
Saw this elsewhere.....

KBM also announced that it will field a fulltime NASCAR Nationwide Series effort in 2012, competing for the series’ owner’s championship. Busch said it is “safe to assume” that he will drive the car in a limited schedule of events, in addition to his schedule of Nationwide events with Joe Gibbs Racing. Sponsors and additional driver(s) will be announced in the coming weeks. KBM will also continue its multi-vehicle program in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2012.

So he will be driving for an owner with whom he is competing for an owner's championship??? hmmmm... No conflict of interest there, eh? :sarcasm:
 
And a little more detail about this from here.

Kyle Busch will be growing his ownership role in NASCAR next season.

Busch announced Friday at Talladega Superspeedway his Kyle Busch Motorsports team would expand to include a full-time effort in the Nationwide Series in 2012.

“On behalf of myself and Kyle Busch Motorsports, it’s just a subtle little announcement that KBM is transitioning into the Nationwide Series next year to go race a full-funded team for the championship and I can’t announce any further

details, besides that it will be a Toyota,” Busch said to start his media session on Friday. “Excited about it. It’s a great opportunity for myself and for the Kyle Busch Motorsports organization for everybody there that’s there now that we have on the line to hire to bring over in order to foresee that program being successful. We’re excited. It’s a great day for us. Crew chiefs, sponsors, drivers -- all that stuff will be announced at a later time.”

Busch will continue to operate a Camping World Truck Series team as well out of KBM and expects to drive the No. 18 entry in the majority of events.

“We will run trucks also,” Busch added. “We will keep the 18 truck going for a full season next year. We are just a few races shy being full sponsorship on that deal. Obviously, last week with Dollar General -- announcing those guys coming back to help us with the Truck Series program and, you know, with the driver and all that kinds of stuff, it’s all pretty much done. It’s just a matter of waiting until the time in which the sponsor is ready to announce all that stuff.”

The Nationwide expansion comes at a time when several teams are either dropping out of the series, consolidating operations or finding a difficult time in attracting sponsors for next season.

Busch will not only have a full funded Nationwide entry coming out of his organization which will find him behind the wheel in a number of events, he’ll also continue to drive a limited schedule for Joe Gibbs Racing as well.

“It’s kind of the point to really announce later, but it’s safe to assume that I will be running in some Nationwide races at Kyle Busch Motorsports,” he said. “I will also still commit to my current obligations that I have at JGR and run over there too. I’ll be split between two Nationwide teams essentially driving some races. What number that’s going to be yet, that’s to be decided. Certainly we’ve gone over it with JGR and everything. This is definitely nothing new to those guys. There’s certainly the amount of races that I’ve already been set to run in the Nationwide car for next year with JGR. We’ll still continue to plan all that out into these next few weeks or next few months maybe before our announcement.”

nothing new here. dale sr drove years for rcr while running dei.
 
I think we are starting to see why KHI folded. All the money went to KBM in both series. No wonder Kevin hates Kyle.

Yeah, and he died trying to get his DEI cars a win, while preventing his own owner from having any chance at a win... idiotic.
 
Press release:

With the recent release that Kyle Busch Motorsports will be fielding a full-time NASCAR Nationwide Series team for 2012, sponsors have been lining up to offer support to the team. Kleenex is negotiating to be the prime sponsor, hoping to support a team owned by one of the biggest crybabies in the sport. Another potential sponsor is the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility, the designer of the SAFER barrier. They figure Kyle will keep them in business for years to come so they might as well reward him with sponsorship. Other potential sponsors include Tampax, NAMBLA and www.angermgmt.com.
