It is well known that the future of Kyle Busch seems to be uncertain at the moment. With doors closing all around him, the silly season gets even more confusing around the Busch debacle. It certainly would be hard to imagine next season taking place without the two-time Cup Series champion. Meanwhile, Joey Logano, another driver whose contract was still undecided, confirmed that they would return to the Cup Series with a new multi-year deal.
However, NASCAR fans did not seem to be excited about the Logano news. Instead, they wanted to know where would Kyle Busch be heading too.

Team Penske, also had signed Logano’s teammate, Ryan Blaney, for a long-term deal just a week prior. In a press release, Logano mentioned, “Since taking over the No. 22 car at Team Penske, I’ve had the opportunity to accomplish so many of my dreams both on and off the track.”

Logano holds 27 race wins under his belt since taking over the #22 car at Penske. As of now the third Penske driver, Austin Cindric has not yet signed a contract extension. But given the fact that Cindric’s father is the president of Penske, it would be unlikely that he’d be going off to any other team any time soon.
