CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kyle Busch confirmed to reporters at NASCAR’s Cup Series playoff media day that multiple teams have extended contract offers to the veteran driver, and he indicated that a deal might come to fruition soon.
The driver of the No. 18 Toyota, whose looming free agency has consumed headlines and clouded his playoff-caliber season, told reporters that there is “more than one that has paper in front of me,” referring to teams that have extended official contract offers.
CBS’s Bob Pockrass reported earlier this week that Richard Childress and Matt Kaulig — owners of Chevrolet teams — have indicated that they have had talks with the multi-time Cup Series champion. Busch did not confirm who the contract offers were from.
