Unfortunately, there is no sign of another sponsor coming forward to back the #18 car. And it seems Toyota Racing Development, and Joe Gibbs Racing have already prepared for the worst.

Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota are already working on “contingency plans”, amidst Busch‘s uncertain career. In a recent interview with Toyota Racing Development’s President, David Wilson revealed their plans to NBC Sports.

“We have to have contingency plans,” Wilson said. “Rest assured, we’re thinking about every way this can go.”

This is even more concerning, considering, that if a sponsorship doesn’t come through for Busch, JGR is not likely to sign him a new deal.

Although, Wilson said that they’re trying their best as he said, “If there’s not sponsorship there, maybe we can create a bridge somewhere,”.

He doesn’t sound too optimistic as he added, “I wish I could handicap it for you … but I just can’t. We’re in a bad place right now … we’ve got some tremendously heavy lifting in front of us.”

Naturally, the fans are not happy about the sad news and draw their own conclusion about the issue.

After all, it’s still very sad to see someone as fast as Kyle Busch has his career at risk. Do you think he still has a future in NASCAR?
