According to Allenbaba, Toyota has used their leverage as an auto manufacturer to line up B2B sponsorship deals with various vendors, and used these to support their young development drivers in Kyle Busch Motorsports trucks.Interesting comments from the head of TRD today. Sounds like he'd love for Matt to stay with Toyota. Who knows maybe Visser can lock down some sponsorship at the #77 and Matt can drive for him. Matt's a reasonable guy .. he knows the current climate and would more than likely take a pay cut to stay in the game for a few more years. Need sponsors!

Just for @lisa ...
Dave Pericak, director of Ford Performance, made it pretty clear that Ford expects Busch to be driving ones its racecars and not one of its competitors. He added he isn’t worried about the ongoing contract situation between Busch and SHR.
“We have every intention of keeping Kurt and putting him in a Ford next year and years to come,” Pericak told Kickin’ the Tires. “I know people want to read into it, they want to have all kinds of rumors and whatnot. All I can say is we want him in the car, we are working it out. I am sure we’ll get it done.”
Pericak said Ford is no stranger to contract negotiations between drivers, teams and sponsors so this doesn’t phase him. However, he does believe the sport is going through a “reset” of sorts and the money aspect is changing.
“I think the situation in the sport is interesting right now because I think there is a bit of a reset going on,” he said. “All you are seeing right now, is we are working things out." (Link)
Kurt to the 43!
Ty Majeski is the best driver Roush has and rumors are he may be leaving Roush for JRMIf true, it says a lot about the future of Roush. Buescher was the best driver they had. Letting him walk to another team, and a Chevy one at that, can't be good for business.
And here lies the problem with cuppers in xfinty. Penske runs what 2 or 3 xfinity cars with 0 up and coming talent?

That should be fine for now.
This is mainly Discount Tire wanting the cuppers, Penske wanted the 12 full time in NXS this year, but couldn't get anything doneAnd here lies the problem with cuppers in xfinty. Penske runs what 2 or 3 xfinity cars with 0 up and coming talent?

Honestly, it's getting much harder to post "rumors" here, even when I know the source is credible, because things are always subject to change. I've seen too many things that were 99% certain to happen (and not just hearsay...things I was directly involved in) end up not happening at the last minute (for God knows how many reasons). And I don't need the Reddit folks seeing something that was clearly worded in the "this might happen" or "this is currently being discussed" language and turning it into the "this WILL happen" language, and then force people to answer questions about it.@Allenbaba was it still quiet on the silly season talk this weekend?
Having said that, I've heard a lot about the 43 - everything from "they're selling" to "they're merging with RCR" to "they're going to put a 2nd car on the track" so who knows. What I can tell you with 100% certainty, they are definitely trying to find funding for Bubba. What I can also tell you...again with certainty...they are not the only group trying to find funding for Bubba. So your guess is as good as mine how it ultimately plays out.

I honestly have no clue.Recently Bubba has been a one man promo machine for Dominos & Coca Cola online. Do you know if he is courting them or has a PSC with either one?
