[autotag]Kyle Busch[/autotag]’s second campaign with Richard Childress Racing has been a nightmare. Through 22 NASCAR Cup Series events, Busch has two top-5 finishes and six top-10 finishes. The driver of the No. 8 car is likely to have a career-worst in top-5 finishes in 2024. However, will Busch return to Richard Childress Racing next year? That has been one of NASCAR’s hottest topics lately.
When discussing [autotag]Spire Motorsports[/autotag]’ opening in the Cup Series on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Catchfence’s Lee Spencer mentioned Busch and Justin Haley. Corey LaJoie won’t return to the No. 7 Cup car for Spire Motorsports in 2025, leaving an opening alongside Carson Hocevar and Michael McDowell. Busch and Haley have frequently been suggested as replacements.
Throughout the 2024 NASCAR season, Busch’s’ situation has been clear cut as he is under contract with Richard Childress Racing next year. Spire Motorsports landing Busch would be the best-case scenario, but it still seems more likely that he returns to Richard Childress Racing. It will be interesting to see who Spire Motorsports lands and whether Busch shockingly finds himself in the No. 7 car.
