I'm so so proud of this young man. He has grown up and matured right in front of our eyes. Much respect Kyle Busch!
You've got a driver with an attitude and you have an owner with an attitude..... That my friends is a winning combination.

This is very relaxed yet still professional. I like how Mr. Childress does the RCR pressers. Very cool!
I now have a reason to pull for RCR...Kyle in the 3. Make it happen.
Looks like RCR going to be on top .... Wish them well..
Congratulations to you both. I love RCR. I was a Big Dale Sr supporter. As I am a Ford person, I would have liked to have seen Kyle driving a Ford, but I think RCR got one heck of a driver and Kyle got one heck of a Owner/Boss. I wish you luck in the up coming season.
Wow. This is huge news for RCR. Kyle is coming back next year with a new purpose. He's the best in the business and I really look forward to seeing him get back to his old self.

RCR has definitely upped their game the last few yrs. Add Kyles talent to it and who knows….they can probably make some big waves
Very happy for RCR this man deserves this. And Kyle busch is going to win a championship with rcr.

Because Austin and Ty sure as hell can't. Junior's EIGHT is very cool, but Kyle is the one who should have the 3... because like Senior he does not race ro make friends. He races to win. Junior said OK but change the font.

Cuz the grandsons can't carry the torch? I guess I can't really hold it against RC for giving the grandkids rides, it just seems like a sad day for Childress Racing fans that got used to so many years of winning races. Austin backs into a couple of wins, now he has his own reality show? He should stick to TV, he can't drive. I knew when he made the chase this year, he'd be the first one out. Just took up a spot that could have been held by Truex who actually would have had a chance to advance.
So proud to hear the way kyle presents himself for sure
Not a devotee, not always a supporter, but… good on ya, Kyle! Make it happen!

Kyle Bush just gained so many fans ! A lot of people are excited to see what he can do in the 8 car next year.
Seeing another Great Driver in the 8 is very Cool. Tyler Reddick is a good driver, but he needs to lock into a long term deal & Number.
Kids got a contract already!!!!!
Kyle is going to drive that Chevrolet to the front Toyota has been blowing engines to much Really happy for the Busch family to give Brixin a contract is awesome family thing

Well said! I’ve been a Kyle Bush Fan Since he’s been in NASCAR… # 8 needs a championship…..
You go Kyle!! We love you and will be supporting you 100% as you move forward with RCR and the #8 car!!!
Damn, watch Kyle go out an win Daytona. I'm actually interested in next year now. This is huge for nascar. Definitely the first positive I've saw in a long time.
Well for the first time ever, I will pull for Rowdy. RCR and especially Richard Childress are tops.
I love the comment that the Toyota people had made that they don’t wanna have a pissed off Kyle Busch racing against them and now he’s back in a Chevy give her all the beans you got !,!man get her to the front ….👍👍👍👍👍
Happy for Kyle and rcr
Glad to see this happen. Congratulations to all involved. Awesome.
That's the best interview I've ever heard from Kyle. I think he has reached the next level in his career and life.
Not really what I expected but I’ll follow Kyle wherever he goes
Richard Childress looks like Wayne Newton now after his face lift 😂
I would have never believed I would one day pull for Kyle!! But here I am!!
I think Kyle is one of the best. He goes fast and drives his car well
Congratulations to all involved☺. Kyle is an asset to the company, Tyler still has a lot of wins in him. They will make for a good team. God bless them all☺❤🙏

4:44 the moment
Awsume News, this is gonna be a fun ride 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
In My opinion, Kyle is the only Driver that could drive Like Dale Sr Did, I'm talking from a raw talent standpoint!
KB will most likely retire from RCR and this is a good fit. He’s gonna be a better fit at RCR the. Gibbs. RC has that smile he had when Dale was there and I think he has the feeling he had in those days. Hope KB finally gets that 500 Trophy. About the only thing he’s missing.
Hard to believe that Joe Gibbs & Toyota couldn't come up with the sponsor money to re-sign Kyle. This is a bigger mistake for JGR than letting Tony Stewart & Joey Logano get away, firing Bobby Labonte, or giving a cup ride to J.J. Yeley. Guess they will have an open ride for Ty Gibbs now. I've been a JGR fan since Dale Jarrett was their driver, but not any longer.

Wow : didn't see this one coming . Good luck to all involved looking forward to watching the racing next year .
I was in the process of being a big Kyle Busch fan. I am now esthetic about Kyle bush
Who would've thunk... Kyle Busch driving juniors old number.. lol
Why am I getting emotional???
Hopefully it works out for everyone involved.
It's great to see and hear the excitement in Richard Childress demeanor. I hope Kyle is a great fit and I hope RCR brings great equipment and crew to the team.
Congratulations Kyle and Brexton also momma Samantha on the future. Skies the limit
Glad he's going to Chevy !!! 🏁🏁🏁
So far, the partnership has paid off huge. 3 wins so far. Go Kyle.
What a great day for these two people!.
Great press conference with Kyle and Richard
Lets go Kyle! Massive addition on RCR. Cant wait for next season!
the question about is this a multi year... i would assume its lifetime... because Richard Childress seems pretty serious about backing Brexton. This is a big deal for Brexton, RCR has made it his word to back him... that means he has his career paved to cup as long as he makes success, and with a father like Kyle Busch im sure he will.
Now that Kyle is a Chevy man I like him and think he's a stand up guy. Great job Kyle Busch I'm gonna go buy a Silverado now.
Brand spanking new member of Rowdy nation, Go KFB!

Man we are excited... Congratulations to RCR and the great Kyle Busch.
id like to see him in the 3, i really hope he gives them a championship.
Kyle is only 2 years older than Dale Earnhardt Sr was when he won the first championship at RCR. Kyle Busch still has 6 peak years left in him. He said he has 8-10 years left in him at cup level. 13 years maximum left because he will be 50. Kyle Busch wants to race with his son in trucks and late models than retire. The only 2 accomplishments that Kyle hasn't got are the Daytona 500 and the Truck series championship. 2 more championships and 20 plus more wins and Kyle will be in the conversation with the likes of Dale Earnhardt Sr, Richard Petty, Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson. Kyle Busch is at 224 wins in top 3 series. 250 wins total is a possibility because harvick had 23 wins with RCR in cup. That's not including Kyle's 5 races a year in trucks. Also Kyle can add to the win total
I love the announcement of the announcement.
It just hit me hard ! I hated Dale Sr bc I was a Rusty fan and one day I visited a race shop in N.c. And it wasn’t Penske . It was RCR and it hit me that I was actually a 3 fan and didn’t know it . This is awesome for a fan like me and a 2nd chance so to speak . I will be visiting Welcome again soon !
This is a power move for Kyle!
Wish I could hear it
I can't wait to see Kyle Busch drive for RCR next year it's going to be awesome see him back in chevy again and see him win again
Never thought I would say it, never ever but times have changed, here it goes, let's go kyle, bring that championship home.
Awasome signing bye RCR let's get that RCR back too champships again it's being so long
Austin Dillion and Kyle Busch as friends seems like an odd couple.
new baby and now new owner..life is good
Props for using Skillet...
Haven't had a favorite driver since dale jr left, looks like I finally found my new one :D
Kyle is so much like dale earnhart. He can drive a race car beyond any other driver. Happy for RCR.
I wonder what Jr. thinks about kyle being in 8
Great for Kyle it will make things interesting in 2023
Awesome can't wait
I've never been a fan of Kyles, but there is no doubting his talent. I believe he'll be as good as Reddick in the 8. I hope Chevrolet gives RCR as much support as Hendrick gets.
That’s going to be awesome, way to go Kyle Busch in getting your contract extension, can’t wait to see you drive the number 8. 😊
Kyle bush with RCR an Andy Petrie back with RCR has crew chief my god I am stepping back in time,I was a big Earnhardt fan so this will be interesting
This is gonna be fun!
2011 Richard Childress: Hold my watch, I'm going to beat Kyle Busch for getting at it with one of my drivers!!!! 2022: Richard Childress: Hold my watch, you're my new driver for the #8 car. Oh, it's also a signing bonus as well.
Great news! I will miss that MnMs racesuit tho!
Kyle and Richard will make a great team. Kyle is my driver and I look forward to many wins and a championship from these two gentlemen. I had trouble listening to the full video because of the inane questions posed by the media.
Best of luck next season Kyle & RCR
I’m sad that he’s leaving his car and everything but I have a feeling this is why he hasn’t been winning and he’s been stressed out over what’s going to happen and that’s why he hasn’t been doing too good so maybe he can start winning and showing everybody
Looking forward to KB8 in 2023.
Maybe Brexton can drive the 3 car next year.?
Hold my watch. Nice RC
Rowdy to RCR, I like it! Hold my watch ⌚️

I am not a shrubby fan, mostly because of the lack of maturity and Team mate abuse. That said he has great talent and should be plenty fired up. My money is on the 8 to outshine the 18 next year. Probably by a bunch...
Is it normal in a situation like this to give their children options to be a driver of theirs in the future (seriously curious) either way that's super cool and pretty classy to do that
That Black 8 behind you..
