NASCAR Hall-of-Famer Matt Kenseth’s Big Claim About Joe Gibbs Will Infuriate Kyle Busch Faithful

There’s just something so weird about what happened with Kyle Busch in his Joe Gibbs Racing exit that it’s, almost inexplicable. The main reason the two-time Cup champion ‘had to leave’ was because his team wasn’t able to secure a good-enough sponsor for him, something which wasn’t the case for his new team, Richard Childress Racing.

Because think about it, Busch has, along with inheriting Tyler Reddick’s old sponsor, also got some new ones without any panic.

On top of that, if Matt Kenseth’s recent comments about Joe Gibbs are considered, the whole situation becomes even weirder.

Matt Kenseth on the key aspect of Joe Gibbs’ success

Speaking in a recent podcast interview leading up to his NASCAR Hall of Fame induction, Matt Kenseth reflected on the key figures of his illustrious career. One of those figures for him, was Coach Gibbs.

“He’s very competitive, obviously. He’s a great coach, a great motivator, leader,” Kenseth said of Gibbs.

“He also works incredibly hard, first one typically there, last one kinda leave type of guy too…always travelling, talking to sponsors, he’s so great on sales, networking with people, making everybody feel important, treating everybody like family,” he continued.

“All that kind of stuff is what makes him so successful.”

Busch added that there’s “a really good sense of a baseline” in his new team to achieve great speed and be competitive right off the bat. “I don’t think it will take much time,” he emphasized. “Fast cars cure all.”
