Life will go on at Billy Ballew Motorsports after Kyle Busch.
That was the message team owner Billy Ballew delivered on Monday, three days after his flagship driver announced plans to field a pair of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series teams under the Kyle Busch Motorsports banner in 2010.
Busch has driven a part-time schedule for Ballew since 2005 and won 16 races in 62 starts for the team owner. Sponsor Miccosukee Resort and Gaming is moving with Busch to KBM.
“From the sponsors’ standpoint, it definitely affected us,” Ballew said in a phone interview Monday with www.SceneDaily.com. “But we have a lot of good things working, and we’ve got a lot of drivers that have a great interest in driving the truck next year, so basically we just have to buckle our shoelaces up and really get aggressive in our sponsorship search to try to match it with the drivers that we have available, which are quite a few.”
