Kyle Busch is one of the top young drivers in NASCAR. But that doesn’t help get sponsorships when the entire United States has millions of people without jobs, and little money is available, so Busch confirmed that he is shutting down his Nationwide operation.
The lack of sponsorship is the reason why he decided to shut down the Nationwide team.
Kyle Busch Motorsports only ran one team this season, which was driven by Parker Kligerman. Kligerman drove the No. 77 Toyota and had 13 Top 10 finishes and ended the season on Saturday in ninth of the points standings.

“There’s absolutely no funding in this world,” Busch said. “It really, really sucks. That’s why we’re open and in business. But when the economy turns, Joe Gibbs Racing shut my team down this off-season, and Turner Scott Motorsports is shutting down Nationwide teams this year. It’s not due to lack of hard work, that’s for sure.”
Last year, Busch drove in 22 races with his team, yet he did not win a race. His older brother Kurt would give KBM its lone win of the season last year at Richmond.
But the older Busch moved to Joe Gibbs Racing to drive the No. 54 Toyota and had 12 wins, which was a series high. He also finished third in the season finale at Homestead-Miami.

While KBM is shutting down the Nationwide team, he is expected to keep his Camping World Truck Series teams together. He owns three of those teams, with the No. 18 truck driven by Joey Coulter and Darrell Wallace Jr driving the No. 54 truck. The other truck is driven by Busch and other spot drivers on fill-in weekends.
Busch won Friday night’s season-ending Camping World Truck Series race when he drove the No. 51 truck. The win gave KBM the owner’s title for 2013.
