[autotag]Kyle Busch[/autotag]’s future with Richard Childress Racing has been a massive discussion over the last few months. Entering the Olympic break, Busch needs to win if he wants to make the 2024 NASCAR playoffs, as Richard Childress Racing struggles with its speed. However, will Busch jump ship to replace Corey LaJoie at [autotag]Spire Motorsports[/autotag] in 2025?
According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Busch is not expected to replace LaJoie in the No. 7 car at Spire Motorsports in 2025. The driver of the No. 8 car is under contract for 2025 and will likely return to Richard Childress Racing. Busch has been one name mentioned alongside the No. 7 car, as Spire Motorsports has a relationship with him.
Those discussions might have differed if Busch had been on an expiring contract. With Richard Childress Racing struggling with speed, the years typically labeled as a “driver’s prime” are being wasted right now. Busch really wants to compete for wins at NASCAR’s top level again, but it won’t be with Spire Motorsports next year.
