Amongst the teams that have been linked as the next destination for Kyle Busch in 2023, perhaps Kaulig Racing seems like the one which is most realistic. It’s an ambitious project led by an ambitious owner, and what do they need? An ambitious driver still at the top of his game.
As for how they’re going to go about it, a blueprint of their future plans of sorts, could be announced very soon.
“I think we are really close to being able to announce everything from Cup down to Xfinity. Hopefully, in the near future, maybe before the playoffs we’ll have everything,” Chris Rice, the President of Kaulig Racing, recently said.
