Kyle Busch and his sponsorship saga have turned out to be a side story going on alongside the regular NASCAR Cup Series season. All the fans care about right now is whose winning races and has Busch found a sponsor yet?

Still, the word in his future is nothing more than a frown. Moreover, Joe Gibbs Racing, a team known for overpaying for the best, can’t afford to keep Busch anymore.

NASCAR Spotter, Brett Griffin, talks about how the driver of the #18 car is a bad role model for NASCAR.

Griffin came on a recent episode of Door, Bumper, Clear! and talked about the matter.

He said, “Joe Gibbs Racing, who is renowned in the sport for paying more to get a driver, paying more to get the right rire changer, paying more to get whatever they want, they get it. And they’re in a position where a two-time Cup Champion, a guy on top of his game, can’t get a sponsor and they have to lose him. “

“The model is so tough on the teams that the sponsorship has to be so big to retain a guy like Kyle,”

On top of that, he also pointed out an issue with Kyle, which is arrogance.

“I am spot-on for Kyle, eating a little bit of humble pie right here. Because he’s been fairly arrogant.”

At this point, it’s almost confusing how Kyle Busch can’t find a sponsor despite performing better than ever. And of course, he has two Cup Series championships. But that’s not all. Busch also said he’s ready to take a pay cut!

The sponsor hunt is still up and running at full force. In fact, Busch even admitted to talking to a new sponsor every week.

Clearly, Busch is determined to stay at Joe Gibbs Racing. He even said he’s prepared to take a pay cut if it means he’ll continue to drive the #18 car.

“I don’t think money has ever been the objective or the issue,” Busch said. “Obviously, I know where the sport’s landscape is. I know what’s happening. And I’ve accepted (taking a smaller salary). And have told everybody that. I’m trying to see where all that lies.”
