Kyle Busch still looking for new team

| | Comments (0) |

Kyle Busch has made little progress in finding a new NASCAR Nextel Cup Series team to drive for next season. Busch asked to be released from his deal with Hendrick Motorsports when it was clear that Dale Earnhardt Jr. was going to join the team in 2008. Busch is one of four drivers for Hendrick Motorsports and NASCAR rules dictate that Cup teams can have no more than four cars.
But Busch he doesn't have anything signed with a new team. About all he did say was that he has eliminated a number of teams from consideration. He was not specific, but said he has only narrowed his options.
"We are still talking to a few teams, we haven't quite narrowed it down to just one; we are still in the process," said Busch, driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "There have been a few teams we have eliminated. We, of course, had an awful lot of calls so we had to eliminate a few of them there at the beginning and through the middle process."
Busch also said he is no hurry to sign a deal with another team. He wants to takes his time with what he calls a career-defining choice.
"You can't just say this is where you want to go. You have to sit down and look at it and review everything to look at the best possible choice for myself because whether or not I make the correct decision, which of course, I am hoping to make, this could be the final play that I stay," Busch said. "If I make a little bit of a wrong decision, I still might be able to move one more time, but I would like to make it the last time."
