Kyle Busch to drive for Nemco?

[97forever]

At least according to the rumor mill.Nemco is Joe Nemechek's BGN effort,and according to thatsracin.com it is being considered that Kyle drive for Joe's team full time next season on the BGN circuit,with financial backing by Hendrick Motorsports.

Interesting in that this appears to be a small deviation in plans for the young Nevada driver.The Kyle Busch story is going to be interesting to watch unfold.Kyle is being groomed in a similar fashion to Ryan Newman a couple of years ago with all the wheel time he can get.

IMO,he's going to need all he can get to compete with older brother Kurt in the future.

Well I always saw Kyle Busch race at the Bullring right next to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Did pretty well, and is a pretty good kid. However, I do think his story defers from Ryan Newman in the sense that Newman hardly saw any Busch Series time, and Newman comes from a different background in an open-wheel car. Unless Kyle can stir up some success next year, I dont see that he'll have the same rapid career progression that his older brother had. I dont really think this is a surprise to go to NEMCO, after all NEMCO is basically if you think about it, a sub-division of Hendrick Motorsports, Hendrick funds the team, hires the engine and chassis builders, so it's really just Hendrick Motorsports.

Yeah,I think the original plan was to have Kyle run a few Arca races as well.A full year of BGN is likely the smartest course of action,in any case.Ironically,a circuit that Kurt skipped altogether.Interesting in that Hendrick is avoiding the CTS like a bad date....any opinions on that?I like both the Busch guys and hope they will be 'rivals' in the future.Should make for a good show.

Right now...Jack Sprague doesn't deserve a ride...

Jack is effectively out of Motorsports I would bet.

97, the Arca races he is running are this year, with a few Busch races in the Nemco car. He will be driving full time Busch races next season in the Nemco car. That was and is the plan since signing with Hendrick.
