Kyle Busch
Well the speculation has ended and it looks like Kyle Busch will be headed to Joe Gibbs Racing and be put in the number 18 car replacing JJ Yeley. It seems like a good fit for both sides as Kyle is probably the most talented young driver in the series and he is a proven race winner who is consistently running up front. Yeley has been a disappointment ever since replacing Bobby Labonte after Labonte left for a ride with Petty. I'm still trying to figure that move out two years later. I guess some things just can't be explained as Labonte went from a championship caliber organization to an also ran.
But getting back to Busch and his new ride, we should see a resurgence with the 18 car come next season. I am sure that JGR will make the changes necessary for Kyle to be a winner. If rumor is correct they will be shelling out big bucks to Busch and a national sponsor will probably replace Interstate Batteries to help pay for it. It would be a little sad as the Gibbs-Interstate relationship dates back to the original team that Gibbs formed with Dale Jarrett. And is it possible that Toyota would lure JGR away from Chevrolet? Toyota needs to real in a top team and Gibbs seems like a perfect fit. Remember Toyota has deep pockets.
Sometimes change is good and next year there will be a bunch of new paint schemes on cars with numbers that will take time to recognize. In the end we will all get use to it and become familiar by mid season when everything shakes out in the ever changing world of The Nextel or should I say "Sprint Cup". Winston Cup still sounds better, doesn't it?
