Clearing up a common misconception about his past announcements, Kyle Busch announced and unveiled his newest business concept: A tire recycling service for Xfinity Series teams dubbed “Kyle Busch Re-Tires”.
“I don’t know where people got the idea that I was going to quit running Xfinity Series races”, said Busch at the announcement, flanked by “Tirey The Recycled Tire”, the venture’s mascot. “I clearly stated that after 100 wins I would re-tire from Xfinity Series racing. Well, its a week late, but here I am, ready to give back to this series that’s given me so much by supplying recycled, retreaded, and resurfaced tires at a reasonable price.”
Busch adds the new racing tire remanufacturing service to a number of other racing ventures, including Kyle Busch Motorsports, Rowdy Manufacturing, and Mr. Busch’s Charm & Grooming School.
“Teams go through lots of tires every week—I remember that from when I ran my own disastrous Xfinity Series team”, Busch said. “If I had a source like this for inexpensive yet resilient tires, I never would’ve had to shut things down, and Parker Kligerman would still have a full-time ride. OK, so its not ALL positive, but still, on the balance, you get the idea.”
Busch’s plans for the organization have apparently been in the works for some time.
“I always said I wanted to do this after 100 wins, going way back to my days with a cheesy soul-patch”, Busch explained. “It took 100—well, 102—wins for me to get the confidence I needed to start this new company. So starting next week, be ready to see some teams spending less money on brand-new tires and more money on…well, whatever it is teams with no Cup affiliation spend extra money on.”
Busch then spotted Todd Bodine and left in a huff.
