The major news of the day in NASCAR is Kyle Busch Motorsports reportedly selling their operation to Spire Motorsports. It has not been officially announced as of yet, but NASCAR social media has gone into an absolute frenzy over it.
Tweets ranged from absolute shock and surprise to people reminiscing about Kyle Busch Motorsports to people wondering what this means for the future of Spire. What did everyone have to say about this major move?
In the Stands
Fans joined in to discuss this absolutely shocking news that no one saw coming. To say that this struck a nerve with the fanbase is an absolute understatement, and Twitter had an absolute field day with this news. Not everyone, however, is particularly excited about the news.
Did he lie, or is he going about it in a way that we simply did not expect?
Unless Spire starts their own Truck Series team, which could happen.
Trevor Johnson hopes this doesn’t happen.
Rachel J. Dwinal is surprised at this, and he hoped it was just a rumor.
You are not the only one to wonder David Allen.
It is a sad day for many Neal.
Not only did this pick up steam on Twitter, but this also picked up some steam on Reddit. Some tried to make some sense of this move, mainly regarding what this means for Kyle Busch and his future. Some even suggested how Busch works his way into ownership in the future. Others talked about Spire, and how much money they have.
I see no lie in this statement from NorthCoastBias.
Phenomenal_Hoot is curious to see if/how Spire’s performance continues to improve with the cash influx they have.
DarkwingMcQuack wonders if this is a move for Busch to work his way into ownership at Richard Childress Racing when Childress retires.
JuckshotBones says that this does not change Busch’s grand retirement plans too much as RCR will fund Brexton, and Kyle can find a ride himself.
GingerMessiah88 says that Busch is buying ownership into RCR eventually.
What will Spire do with Chase Purdy and Nick Sanchez in 2024?
Will Spire eventually be an empire? They are truly developing something crazy.
Embykinks comes up with a master plan for how this makes sense for Busch and Richard Childress Racing.
On Your Screen
NASCAR YouTubers joined the party to talk about this move on social media. Something tells me there will be a lot of YouTube discussion on this, particularly on the NASCAR Weekly Podcast tonight at 8 PM ET.
DannyBTalks pointed out to the Twitter account that actually broke the news…somehow. I challenge you not to laugh when you read the Twitter handle.
Not officially, but it seemingly is Eric.
DennyDeliversYT says Michael Andretti may have had something to say about this, and maybe that it somewhat true.
A lot of people had a lot to say about this major move. The question is, will they be singing the same tune in a few months?
