New Report Confirms Joe Gibbs Racing Misled Fans on Kyle Busch Leaving and Is Paying Price Today

This time last year Joe Gibbs Racing officials were insistent they wanted to bring Kyle Busch back in the No. 18 car for 2023. As we all know, that didn't happen and the two-time champion left and took his talent to Richard Childress Racing.

The main speculation about what led to the divorce was JGR was unable to find enough sponsors to pay the driver. Globaldata released a new report this week — The Business of NASCAR 2023 — that provides an analysis on the current business landscape of the sport, and includes various statistics such as sponsorship revenues for individual teams.

The numbers show Busch's new team well ahead of his old team and confirm that finding sponsor dollars for the future Hall of Famer isn't as hard as some JGR officials might have suggested throughout the months-long saga.
