| Phoenix Racing/Kurt Busch May Not Run Full Season
Lucky Dog: Is it possible Kurt Busch may not run full Cup season?
I'm kinda of surprised, I know they are on a budget but I for sure thought they would do the whole season with or without sponsors with Kurt. I normally don't support start and parking but in situations like this I don't mind it. If they do close up where does Kurt land? |

| One rumor going around is that he and Kyle are going to open up their own team (Busch Brothers Racing) and sign on with Dodge to be their flagship team. Other than it being a complete pain in the ass to change manufacturers, this actually makes a lot of sense for both parties. Again, I said rumor so take it for what it is worth. | |

| Yeah, but it would prob be much easier with Dodge looking for an organization and not already having 2 or 3 others they support. Very interesting to say the least. Would open up a top ride at JGR.

| I don't buy that rumor, I don't see Kyle leaving JGR. Oh and Steve Barkdoll posted this to the team's FB:
NO worries of team running all year, just would like a sponsor, @kurtbusch and @phoenixracing51 deserve one, looking forward to kansas gm
I guess Finch is just crying to the media. | |

| I could see Kyle leaving JGR to make his own team, just not for a few more years | |

Kurt will get another quality ride as long as he keeps his act together. Quite honestly he has not done a bad job in the Phoenix car. I agree about Logano getting let go next year; what a huge disappointment. Sliced Bread my ass. | |

Since he has, I don't think he'll have any problem with Kurt's antics either. | |
