When asked what a NASCAR Xfinity Series driver like John Hunter Nemechek would need to secure a full-time ride in the Cup Series, Nemechek’s former team owner, Kyle Busch, had an honest answer. As the owner of Kyle Busch Motorsports  — a Truck Series operation that fields two full-time entries — Busch is familiar with the rising costs associated with NASCAR racing. “When I raced super late models across the country, I raced against guys who were very, very talented and very capable of making it to the big time, but they never got there or had the right funding behind them,” Busch said. Busch concluded, “You had to have car disparity and driver disparity, and now you don’t really have either of those.”.
