Kyle Busch interested in Ross Kenseth for CWTS ride

This would be cool and to me, totally unexpected.

Kyle Busch would love to offer Ross Kenseth a Camping World Truck Series ride in 2013. While Busch is quite impressed with Kenseth and has raced against the 19-year-old in various series, the biggest stumbling block for inking a deal could be sponsorship. "I'd like to do something with Ross," Busch said. "It's just a problem trying to get funding. There's no backing for some of the drivers that are here right now. The price is obviously cheaper in the truck series. You can start small and grow big. But it's hard to get interest there." Ross Kenseth, the son of 2003 Sprint Cup champion Matt Kenseth, is currently studying engineering at Clemson University, but is earning quite the reputation on short tracks. In July, he won the Redbud 300 at Anderson (Ind.) Speedway. Last month he was victorious in the All American 400 (Fairgrounds Speedway, Nashville) and in the Winchester (Ind.) 400, besting Busch in both events

It doesn't hurt that Ross' dad will be a teammate over there on the Dark Side.

I'm confused. I thought Hendrick was the 'Dark Side'? Now I have to update my scorecards.

Beware, the dark side of the force. You don't know the power of the Dark SIDE!

A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.

I'm still waiting for him to cure the common cold before I budge in that direction.

I don't get how Matt going over there changes anything . Ross is a top prospect is he not?

Ross is a very good driver. But Matt going over there certainly does not hurt the matter.

If anything, it probably helped.

Ross is a guy that deserves that ride. I just wish it was a Chevy

 

[Bucky Badger]

That would be great to see

Yes he is and every bit the racer that Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliot are.

Good to hear, I'd been wondering why you never heard much about Ross, compared to guys like Blaney or Elliott.

Matt started early! But I suppose that many 40 year-olds have 19 year-old kids.

21 is early in you neighborhood? There is a lot of young talent coming up. I only hope they all don't get corporatized.
