Kyle Busch sells Truck operation to Spire Motorsports

Kyle Busch has sold his Craftsman Truck Series team and manufacturing company, Rowdy Manufacturing, to Spire Motorsports.

The sale includes the assets of Busch’s race team, the 77,000-square-foot race shop in Mooresville, North Carolina, and the chassis building operation (which is housed in the race shop). Kyle Busch Motorsports debuted in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2010.

“When we started the Truck Series team back in 2010, I never imagined that we would be able to win 100 races with 18 different drivers and that one day I’d be racing in the Cup Series alongside so many of the drivers that I once mentored at KBM,” Busch said. “I owe a lot of gratitude to so many people, starting with (wife) Samantha and my family, for believing in this dream that I had. It took countless hours by so many amazing people to make KBM the winningest team in Truck Series history.

“I will always appreciate everyone that walked through the doors and gave their all to make this such a successful organization. Not only has it been the people that were employed here, but it’s also the families that supported them while they worked long hours and traveled on the weekend, sacrificing time at home and missing family events. And I certainly can’t say enough thanks to Toyota for the first 13 years of support and to Chevrolet for stepping up to the plate this year. Due to their commitment and that of our great sponsors, we’ve been able to compete at the highest levels and hang a lot of banners.
