Emotional Kyle Busch revives his 5-Word Admission Hours After..

An era has come to an end in the Truck Series. With 2-time Cup Series champ Kyle Busch ready to turn over the reigns of his brainchild, Kyle Busch Motorsports, to Spire Motorsports, a memorable run for the winningest team in Truck Series history ended. The sale arrived as an unexpected development in the middle of the season. The buyers have reportedly acquired all facilities at the disposal of KBM, with no leftovers in the deal.

KBM has been an integral part of NASCAR since its inception. Acting as a platform for new talent to shine and Rowdy to display his talents as a team owner, the team’s departure will leave uncountable memories in Rowdy and his fans’ hearts. Translating his emotions into words, Kyle Busch put up an emotional farewell on his Twitter handle.

With 100 wins in the tourney, KBM cemented their place as the most decorated team. Apart from that, 7 owner’s championships and 2 driver championships in 2015 and 2017 made them big guns in the sport. Since its arrival on the scene in 2010, the team was initially used as a launchpad for youngsters for Kyle Busch’s old employer, Joe Gibbs Racing. However, following Rowdy’s departure from JGR, the team shifted manufacturers to Chevrolet instead of Toyota.

What KBM has achieved over the years is a perfect reflection of the importance Kyle Busch holds as well. The No. 8 Chevy is also the most celebrated driver in the Truck Series, with 64 wins to his name. But alas, the partnership came to an end with the intervention of Spire Motorsports‘ ambitions. The transfer of ownership includes Rowdy Manufacturing and its chassis building operation assets, a CNC machine shop, and a 77,000-square-foot facility that packaged the manufacturing units and the team’s premises.

For Kyle Busch, saying goodbye isn’t easy. After more than a decade of dominance, Rowdy will have to get used to not being a team owner anymore. Speaking his mind on Twitter, he posted, “When we started the Truck Series team back in 2010, I never imagined that we would be able to win 100 races with 18 different drivers and that one day I’d be racing in the Cup Series alongside so many of the drivers that I once mentored at KBM,”
