Honestly if I was Brian France, I'd make a rule that Cup drivers can race in NW or Trucks, but the teams must choose one series and stick with it. That means that JGR can only choose to field Cup, NW or Trucks teams, they can't do all three. That way, a cup driver can't just show up in Cup equipment and win all the truck or NW races.

Of course you know Kyle has his own truck team, out of his own shop, on probably a budget on par with other teams

No he has a JGR truck with JGR equipment. He tried racing in his own stuff before and failed miserably, which is why I want to implement that rule.
 
I know you can fix stupid, but anyway. From KBM http://www.kylebuschmotorsports.com/about/

TRD utilized Toyota NCWTS teams, including Kyle Busch Motorsports, Red Horse Racing and ThorSport Racing -- and their resources -- to build versions of the 2014 NCWTS Tundra for wind tunnel testing.


Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) essentially began with Kyle's first purchase of a Legends Car in 2003 to provide an outlet for Kyle to hone his driving skills. Over the years, KBM filled a trophy case with Legends Car and Late Model hardware. Kyle Busch Motorsports is now the home of the No. 51 and No. 54 Tundra's in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. And No. 51 Super Late Model. The victory hardware keeps coming and is welcomed in the new 77,000 sq. ft. KBM race shop. Kyle Busch Motorsports has captured the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Owners Championship 2 of the last 4 seasons. (2010 and 2013)

I thought that was truck, he went one season in his own equipment, was barely competitive and went running back to JGR.

No that was the Nationwide car where that happened.His truck team was supposed to be used for a place where up and coming drivers could get some seat time but we all see how that is going.

sounds good, but it wouldn't allow cup teams to try out the young guys trying to make it to a cup team.

he might have to run one of the TWO trucks because the sponsor wants to be in victory lane. or maybe be needs the winnings to help fund his operation
 
i think his truck motor are from jgr

if cup teams were not there there may be other teams that form that use young drivers

probably easier to judge talent when said driver is in their equipment. plus testing new crew members, all kind of benefits.

KBM builds those truck chassis in house from a pile of tubing on their own jigs and fixtures, Kyle does use JGR engines I believe

I watched one of Kyles young drivers win Phoenix in a Kbm truck, he did a wonderful job

Erik Jones is going to be one of the great ones one day. I've been a fan of his since he started.

I have only got to see him race once in person but he seems very talented, almost looked like Kyle was driving the truck. Any idea what Jones has been doing lately ?

He's driving the 51 ten times this year, and he's running the triple crown late model events for KBM (Snowball Derby, Winchester 400, All American 400). Problem is he's so young he can't race nascar on a regular basis yet. I wish someone would put him in a K&N car full time

I hope Kyle doesnt let anybody else get a hold of the kid, he can help KBM out a bunch
 
DaBiff1618 said:
Agreed. KBM has two of the brightest young talents in the sport.

I was kinda bummed out last year when I found out Kyle wasnt driving the 51 at Phoenix but a win for KBM is a good thing and Jones put on a good show, I left the track happy :)

I truly hope Bubba gets settled in and starts running a little more consistent. Wish Kyle would take another shot at fielding a nationwide team

He needs to visit a Gypsy or something! He has horrible luck, always gets taken out in someone else's mess

i believe the advantage with truck team over nationwide team is a driver can drive a truck at younger age, lets you get your hooks in talent quicker. i would think a good driver in kyle's truck could lead to a better chance of driving some nationwide races and who knows maybe cup down the road for JGR.

Running up front more would probably help a lot, he always ends up mid pack where all the trouble starts :idunno:

Wow. Jake Crum just straight up killed Ryan Ellis.

Will NASCAR implement their rule of no deliberately taking another driver out? No? 100% bullschit.

He had his license downgraded by NASCAR.

CONCORD, N.C. -- NASCAR has downgraded the license of Truck Series driver Jake Crumfor an incident at Charlotte Motor Speedway last week.

NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said Crum has been blocked from driving at tracks longer than 1.25 miles. He is also allowed to drive on road courses.

The discipline stems from Crum's interaction with Ryan Ellis in last Friday's race. After the two tangled earlier in the race, Crum and Ellis were racing side by side when Crum drove into Ellis and sent him into the wall.

Tharp said NASCAR would monitor Crum at future races and determine when it might allow him to again drive as longer race tracks.
