Spire Motorsports’ purchase of the $40 million charter which included Kyle Busch Motorsports has raised a lot of eyebrows in the NASCAR community. The amount of money that was spent on the charter was quite a lot and this is only the first investment that Spire have had to make. Questions were also raised over the future of Kyle Busch Motorsports. NASCAR veteran Dale Earnhardt Jr. recently shared his thoughts on the future of KBM.
Ever since the sale took place, fans had been speculating why Kyle Busch sold KBM after so many years in charge. While the Cup Series driver has given his reasons, a lot of fans don’t seem to buy into it. They have speculated that KBM was going bankrupt, leaving Rowdy no choice but to sell the team to Spire Motorsports.
At the time of announcing the sale, Kyle Busch gave a lot of personal reasons as to why he sold his Truck Series team. The 38-year-old said that balancing his Cup Series schedule, his son’s racing schedule, and being there for this family left him with no time to tend to the needs of KBM.
The team was founded in 2010 by Rowdy who has been at the helm for well over a decade. During his time as the owner, the team has become one of the most successful Truck Series outfits in the modern era. Kyle Busch Motorsports has won 100 races and two Truck Series titles. It truly is the end of an era to see the team’s founder leave despite bringing them so much success.

As for the future of Kyle Busch Motorsports, there are big question marks. Former Cup Series driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. spoke about the topic on a recent episode of the Dale Jr. Download podcast. His views on the matter may not sound all that well to people who are fans of KBM. Junior is unsure whether KBM will exist going into the future as he raised some valid questions.
“Kyle Busch sold his truck team to Spire Motorsports. I guess my…not so much comment on that but what do you think is your curiosity of what’s next? Me? How much of KBM will continue on underneath the umbrella of Spire? Will they somewhat break it down into taking all the best parts and putting them into a smaller piece? Or will there be multiple trucks out there for Spire?” the former Cup Series driver asked.
